Wormwood can be used in small amounts as a tea, though its bitterness makes it more often used in tinctures and tonics. It’s also a valued incense herb for cleansing spaces and clearing stagnant or heavy energy.

For tea, steep ¼–½ teaspoon of dried Wormwood in freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Use sparingly due to its intense bitterness. Burn as incense on a charcoal disc or add to ritual blends for protection and purification.
CAUTIONS: Not for use during pregnancy. Avoid excessive internal use.

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)

Wormwood has been used since antiquity for protection, purification and divination. The ancient Egyptians considered it a sacred plant, while medieval Europeans burned it to repel evil spirits and misfortune. It is famously associated with absinthe, the “Green Muse” of 19th-century artists and poets, symbolising inspiration, mystery and the edge between reason and madness. In folklore, Wormwood was hung in doorways or carried for protection on journeys and to keep harmful influences at bay.

Dried Wormwood is worked with to strengthen protective boundaries, cleanse spaces of negative or stagnant energy and support divinatory or visionary practices. Its Mars energy brings courage, assertiveness and the ability to act decisively in ritual work, while its fiery nature enhances banishing or threshold crossing operations. Wormwood is particularly suited to workings that involve spirit contact, ancestral connection or the clearing of energetic obstacles.
