Wormwood is burned as an incense designed to aid in
developing psychic powers. Also, it is warned for this
purpose. Carried, wormwood protects not only against
bewitchment, but also from the bite of sea serpents.
Also, according to ancient traditions it counteracts
the effects of hemlock and toadstools. Hung from the
rear view mirrror, wormwood protects the vehicle from
accidents. Wormwood is sometimes used in love
infusions. It is also made into an alcoholic beverage
called absinthe. This highly addictive liquor is
outlawed in some countries. But it's reputation
lingers, and wormwood is still used in love mixtures.
One such use is to put it under the bed to draw a
loved one. Wormwood is also burned to summon spirits
and sometimes mixed with sandalwood for this purpose.
If burned in graveyards, the spirits of the dead will
rise and speak according to old grimoires.
Recipe for a batch of tea:
24 oz water in a tea pot, and six tablespoons of
wormwood herb. Bring it to a boil, turn down the
temperature and let simmer for 15 minutes. Can be
drank hot or cold. It is VERY strong and bitter, SLAM
it! If you sip, you will be sorry! Drink it like it
was tequila. Have citrus fruit ready to counterbalance the
bitterness...you will need it! A full dose is 24 oz,
but if you've never had it before, we suggest half
that dose.
