Wormwood 4oz

(Latin Name: Artemisia absinthium)(Also known as: Spirit Banishment Herb, The Bitter Protector, Shadow Cleaner)

Brief History & Origin

Wormwood is the Herb of Protection, Banishing, and Bitter Purification, revered since ancient times in African, European, and Indigenous folk medicine for its powerful ability to clear parasites—both physical and spiritual. Its name comes from its traditional use as a worm-expeller, but its deeper medicine reaches into the realm of clearing unwanted attachments, negative energies, and shadow clingers.

This Artemisia plant is connected to the moon, the underworld, and the unseen realms. In magical traditions, Wormwood is burned to banish spirits, break hexes, and protect the healer from psychic attack. It teaches us the sacred power of bitter medicine—the kind that cleanses deeply, sets firm boundaries, and restores sovereignty of body and soul.
