Description

Origin & Traditional Use

Wormwood is an intensely bitter silver-leaved herb, best known as the key flavouring of absinthe and vermouth. It was hung in houses and laid among clothes to repel moths and fleas, and in folk magic it is burned to call spirits.

Uses in the Work

Burn it in necromantic and spirit-calling incense to strengthen contact with the dead and the demonic. Add it to scrying blends and place it under the pillow for prophetic dreams. It is used in revenge and hexing work, and in protection against hostile spirits. In planetary magic it belongs to Mars and is used in workings of conflict and courage. Not for ingestion.
