Care & considerations

Care instructions

Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture, food, direct sunlight, and heat. Open gently to avoid dispersing fine botanical fragments or plant dust.

Safety and handling

For ritual use only. Not intended for ingestion, brewing, smoking, burning, deliberate inhalation, or skin application. Wormwood contains thujone, and authoritative safety sources identify particular concerns for pregnancy or breastfeeding and for people with epilepsy or a history of seizures when wormwood is used internally or medicinally. Members of the Asteraceae family can also trigger sensitivity or allergic reactions. Avoid inhaling plant dust, wash hands after handling, and keep away from food, children, and pets.

Natural variation

Natural silvery-green-to-brown color, cut size, aroma, and stem-to-leaf proportion may vary by harvest, drying, source, season, and batch.

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a dried ritual botanical with a long history in folk and occult practice. Its loose form is well suited to contained altar arrangements, sachets, spell containers, and other botanical ritual work centered on traditional themes such as protection, banishing, boundaries, and spirit-related symbolism.
