Mugwort | Artemisia vulgaris

🌱 Overview:
Dusky green leaves with silvery undersides and a softly bitter, sage-like scent, mugwort carries an old, wild magic — grounding, aromatic, and steeped in forest lore.

🍽 Uses:
Traditionally infused into teas, smokes, or folk blends more for ritual and dreamwork than culinary delight. Sometimes used sparingly to add a haunting herbal note to rustic dishes.

✨ Lore & Myth:
Long honored as a herb of protection and visions, mugwort was worn in midsummer garlands and tucked under pillows to invite vivid dreams and ward off ill fortune.

🌍 Origin & Sourcing:
Wild-harvested and carefully dried to preserve their soft texture, muted color, and deeply aromatic essence.

🧭 Notes:
Earthy, mildly bitter, and faintly camphorous — with a grounding quality that speaks of mossy woodlands and ancient hedgerows.
