In Druidic and European traditions, Mugwort was sacred to the Moon and to Artemis, guardian of thresholds and dreams. It was burned before prophecy and used to anoint travelers between worlds. Taoist adepts used Mugwort for spirit protection and to strengthen the body’s yin energy. It is a plant of seers—one that awakens inner vision, purifies the path, and guards the dreaming soul.
