Description

Lecture: Mugwort: Mater Herbarum

Mugwort’s name alone inspires thoughts of witchery. Let us examine how this unique, fragrant Artemesia has been used for magic, medicine and food from the Iron age to the present, and why it is special enough to be given the name “Mater Herbarum” or Mother of Herbs. We will look back through history and end with a focus on modern era folk usage in healing and magic.
