Wormwood, Artemisia Absinthium. Aka Great Wormwood, Worm’s Wort, Absinthium, Absinthe, Green Fairy, Old Woman, Crown for a King.
HISTORY:
It has been used as a bitter for beer kind of like hops, for the flavoring of some other spirits and wines, including bitters, vermouth and pelinkovac. Wormwood is a very fragrant herb that is also used in incense and smudge.
The plant has velvety white or greenish & silver stems, yellow-green leaves, and bulbous flowers that are pale and bright shades of yellow. All parts of the plant have been used in traditional medicinal practices throughout history.
Wormwood gained notoriety from its use in absinthe, a famous legend, a French liqueur that was apparently the favorite of many 19th-century artists, including painter Vincent Van Gogh.
Wormwood is taken as an extract or tea, generally. Its oil is made from the stems and leaves of the plant, whereas an extract or tincture may use the entire plant
One of the main bio-active components of wormwood is Thujone. This compound occurs in two forms — alpha- and beta-thujone, which differ at the molecular level.
MAGICK USES:
‘While Wormwood hath seed get a handful or twaine
To save against March, to make flea to refraine:
Where chamber is sweeped and Wormwood is strowne,
What saver is better (if physick be true)
For places infected than Wormwood and Rue?
It is a comfort for hart and the braine
And therefore to have it it is not in vaine.’
~ Tusser 1577
Since Medieval times, Wormwood has been burned to promote spirit communication. Many of the old grimoires say that Wormwood, when burned in a cemetery will cause spirits to arise and speak (and allow you to speak to them). Wormwood can be added to any divinatory incense mixture to enhance the effects. Wormwood is also used in many love spells as an herb of persuasion. One may also carry Wormwood to protect against harm, evil, and witchcraft.
Wormwood can be used for:
Spells to send harmful magic back on its sender and for spells for vengeance, in an amulet or other applications.
It is said that if it is used while traveling, it will protect people from an accident.
Burning it before any ritual favors the presence of entities during it.
Use before making a Tarot reading since we will be much clearer mentally.
Combined with mugwort and burned, wormwood is useful for calling up spirits. It is also said to be useful in banishing spirits.
Place some wormwood on each shoe (or elsewhere on your person) when you need to manifest luck before doing some business, contract, or craft.
Place three leaves under your bed, to attract benefits whiles sleeping.
Burn a leaf, collect the ashes, and fix them to a coin in a packet. It must be done during the nights of the New Moon.
If we place it under the bed on a twig and tie the name of the loved one with a bow, then we will be attracting that person to our life.
Wormwood may also be used in love magic, as this old charm indicates:
‘On St. Luke’s Day, take marigold flowers, a sprig of marjoram, thyme, and a little Wormwood; dry them before a fire, rub them to powder; then sift it through a fine piece of lawn, and simmer it over a slow fire, adding a small quantity of virgin honey, and vinegar. Anoint yourself with this when you go to bed, saying the following lines three times, and you will dream of your partner “that is to be”:
“St. Luke, St. Luke, be kind to me,
In dreams let me my true-love see.” ‘
~ An old love charm
