2026 SALVES COMING SOON. JOIN THE WAITLIST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THESE ARE BACK IN STOCK.
Artemisia has long been celebrated across cultures for its potent spiritual qualities. Made with 5 potent artemisias, this salve supports meditation, dreamwork, and ritual practices.
This salve is infused Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), and White Sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana) — all grown in my own organic gardens — along with essential oils of wildcrafted Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), Armoise (Artemisia herba-alba), and Davana (Artemisia pallens).
Historical Uses of Artemisia:
Witchcraft and Divination: A key ingredient in traditional “flying ointments,” all artemisias were believed to help witches and mystics achieve trance states, astral travel, and contact with other realms. Their ability to enhance psychic vision makes them a favorite in dreamwork and divination.
Chinese Medicine: Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a sacred herb for moxibustion, used to activate qi and deepen spiritual awareness.
Indigenous North American Traditions: Honor sagebrush for its ability to purify spaces, protect the spirit, and open pathways to the sacred.
European Folklore: Artemisia is associated with protection and banishment. It was believed to ward off malevolent spirits and negative energies, making it a staple in charms, incenses, and purification rituals. In medieval times, wormwood was used to consecrate magical tools and spaces. Hildegarde de Bingen famously recommended artemesia ointments.
Ancient Greece and Rome: Artemisia was sacred to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and wild places. It was also used medicinally, symbolizing protection and resilience.
Absinthe and Creativity: During the 19th century, wormwood became famous as the key ingredient in absinthe, inspiring poets and artists like Van Gogh and Baudelaire. Absinthe’s association with altered states of mind and creative exploration reflects the plant’s historical role in unlocking hidden worlds.
Ways to Use
Apply to temples, wrists, or the third eye before meditation or dreamwork to deepen your practice.
Massage into feet or hands to ground and connect to the earth’s energies.
Use as a protective balm, applying to pulse points before rituals or energy work.
Rub onto muscles at the end of a long day.
Incorporate into a moonlit self-care ritual to honor the cycles of nature and the divine.
