Mugwort - Artemisia vulgaris

Strengthens the inner Artemis, independence.
Opens to the forces of the moon.

Mugwort is closely related to the Greek goddess Artemis (in Rome: Diana) associated with the goddess of the moon, the hunting and the midwives. It represents a young, confident and independent woman who goes her own way. From time to time she has a lover, but never builds up deep bonds. Artemis as (older) sister is like a confidante who has much of the power of adult women, but nearly the same age as her younger sister and her world of experience is closer than, say, their mother's. What you do not dare to ask the mother, your big sister may have the right answers to.

Mugwort as her representative in the flower essence world carries a very natural vibrational energy, which corresponds to one's own nature, being and inner and outer rhythms. It helps to listen to the inner voice, intuition and to trust them. Synchronizes your inner rhythm to the lunar cycle. In former times Mugwort herb was used to fill the pillow and thereby induce prophetic dreams. It is the plant of the night, of magic, dreams and inner harmony.
