ARTEMISIA VULGARIS

Featuring my mugwort plant at home

Mugwort is a very ancient herb for healing magic and divination, known to be protective to women and travellers.

The Latin name Artemisia comes from Artemis, the Greek moon Goddess and patron of women, so it is an excellent herb to use for feminine energy and issues.

Gender: Feminine

Planet: Venus and Moon

Deities: Artemis and Diana
