Mugwort Seeds
Mugwort, also known as
sagewort and wormwood, is an ancient magical plant that was once known as the "mother-of-herbs". Another known name for
Mugwort is the
Mug Plant. It was given this name because it was used for brewing beer before hops became the herb of choice.
Mugwort's fragrance is pleasant and has a volatile oil that is beneficial for an upset stomach, flatulence and indigestion.
Mugwort is a native to temperate Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America.
Mugwort is a tall herbaceous perennial plant that grows 2-4 ft., with a woody root.
Mugwort's leaves are long, dark green and have dense white hairs underneath. The stems have an uncommon red-purplish tinge. The numerous yellow to dark red flowers give this plant a unique appearance.
Mugwort has been historically used to promote lucid dreaming. It can be taken internally or bundled together and hung over your bed.
Mugwort can also be bundled together, burned and used for smudging.
Mugwort folklore suggests that if you rubbed the leaves on your body it will scare ghosts away, or wearing a necklace made of
Mugwort would prevent dreaming of the dead. In the Middle Ages a crown made from
Mugwort sprays was worn on St. John's Eve to gain security from evil possession.
Mugwort is frequently confused with
wormwood. The two can be distinguished by their leaves.
Mugwort leaves are white on the under-surfaces only and are pointed, not blunt. Like
wormwood,
mugwort is useful in keeping off the attacks of moths.
