MUGWORT
Artemisia vulgaris.

Dream. Envision. Protect. Commune with the Heavens. Clear Space.
Make babies. Mugwort.

Also known as Cronewort, Chrysanthemum weed, Common or Wild Wormwood (but not to be confused with Wormwood Artemisia absinthium) is named after the Moon Goddess Artemis and associated with the element of the earth, the planet venus and the moon, and the signs of Taurus and Libra.

In early spring, young leaves from tender shoots, of just a few inches high (no more), are at this time edible and may be tossed into a salad or used as a garnish. When crushed, her leaves with a soft fuzz and silver underbelly produce, a medicinal aroma similar to that of the chrysanthemum.

Bloom time begins as early as mid-summer, and here in Long Island, New York the season is late August through mid-September. Young shoots are still pushing through in late October. 

Our mugwort is harvested in her early flowering stage, just before bloom, within the hours of the full and new moon, when she is at the height of her magical potency.
