Most people are familiar with wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) as an ingredient in the naturally green & psychoactive spirit, absinthe. Absinthe was popular among many famous artists, writers, and philosophers during the late 19th and early 20th century including Picasso, van Gogh, Edgar Allan Poe, Aleister Crowley, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway to name a few. Its psychoactive properties were blamed on the compound thujone, although it’s unlikely that absinthe would’ve had enough wormwood in it to produce the hallucinogenic effects people have described from it.

When I think of wormwood, the word magic comes to mind. This wormwood essence can be used to bring us back to the magical side of life. Much like its cousin mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), wormwood can be used for opening the third eye. This essence is appropriate for divinatory work, astral projection, and showing us how thin the veils truly are. Taken before bed this essence can help bring about vivid or lucid dreaming.
