The Dark Side

🌿 Wormwood – Herb of Spirits, Shadows, and Sight 🌿
(Artemisia absinthium)

Steeped in mystery and magic, Wormwood is a powerful herb long associated with spirit communication, protection, and enhanced psychic vision. Named after the Greek goddess Artemis, this silvery, bitter plant has been used in magical rites, necromantic work, and visionary practices since ancient times.

In folklore and the occult, Wormwood is known as an herb of the dead, often used to cleanse negative energies, summon spirits, and pierce the veil between worlds. Its intoxicating scent and sharp energy make it a favorite among witches for rituals of banishment, divination, and dreamwork.

Magickal Uses of Wormwood:

• Spirit Contact & Necromancy – Burn with mugwort or frankincense to open communication with spirits or ancestors.

• Protection & Banishment – Sprinkle at thresholds or burn to repel dark forces, hexes, and malevolent energies.

• Psychic Enhancement – Add to sachets or incense blends to deepen intuition, astral travel, and lucid dreaming.

• Crossroads & Underworld Work – Ideal for rituals invoking Hecate, Persephone, or deities of the shadow realms.

How to Use:

• Burn as incense during rituals or meditations.

• Add to spell jars, poppets, or charm bags for protection or occult insight.

• Use in floor washes or sprinkle near doorways to cleanse spiritual residue.

• Steep (externally only) in ritual oil for anointing tools used in darker or deeper workings.

🛑 Caution: Wormwood is toxic if ingested in large quantities and should not be used internally unless prepared by a trained herbalist. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing individuals.
