Mugwort

There is a large patch of mugwort along the back side of the parking lot.

One of my friends told me that if you drink mugwort tea before going to bed, it makes you have interesting dreams.

I find mugwort really difficult to control because of its tendency to resprout vigorously from rhizomes.

In Normandy such wreaths are a protection against thunder and thieves; and stalks of mugwort hinder witches from laying their spells on the butter.

Mugwort is with good success put among other herbs that are boiled, for women to sit over the hot decoction to draw down their courses, to help the delivery of the birth and expel the afterbirth, as also for the obstructions and inflammations of the mother.

Peony would keep away any kind of storms. Mugwort hung over doorways on Midsummer's Day, June 24, would keep off lightning, as St. John's-Wort would if gathered before sunrise on that day.

“I have eaten mugwort,” he told his familiar. “Soon I shall see down the well of time; our past lies there.”

Take then mugwort and everlasting and boil these three in several kinds of milk until they become red.
