Description

This plant is known as a visionary herb. Some sources hold that it was an ingredient in the infamous flying ointment of historical witches, and some magic practitioners still use it to induce visions.

Interestingly, this bitter plant is used both as a baneful herb and a protective one. Carrying a sachet is said to prevent accidents, but it’s also included in herbal mixtures to divert negative energy or harmful magic back to the sender. When carried, it also acts as a charm against the evil eye.

Its use in spiritwork is similarly contradictory. It’s often added to herbal incense mixtures for calling up helpful spirits, but can also be burned to banish them.

Wormwood is ruled by the planet Mars and the elements of air or fire.

Burn before making a Tarot reading since we will be much clearer mentally thanks to the activation of perception. 

When a session of spiritualism is carried out, whatever the method chosen for this purpose, it is mixed with sandalwood and the invocation proceeds, thus obtaining a much more marked and safe result. 

Burn a leaf then collect the ashes and tie them to a coin. This will attract a great fortune, but it must be done during the nights of New Moon.
