Artemisia has long been celebrated across cultures for its potent spiritual qualities. Made with 5 potent artemisias, this salve supports meditation, dreamwork, and ritual practices. 

This salve is infused Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), and White Sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana) — all grown in my own organic gardens — along with essential oils of wildcrafted Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), White Armoise (Artemisia herba-alba, Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), and Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium).

Here’s a peek at the magical benefits of this salve:

Witchcraft and Divination: A key ingredient in traditional “flying ointments,” all artemisias were believed to help witches and mystics achieve trance states, astral travel, and contact with other realms. Their ability to enhance psychic vision makes them a favorite in dreamwork and divination.

Physical Benefits: Artemisia salve soothes sore muscles, calms irritated skin, and can ease minor aches and pains. Known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it can be applied to bruises, bug bites, or areas of tension for gentle, herbal relief. (Hildegarde d Bingen famously recommonded artemesia ointments, and modern studies back her up!

Chinese Medicine: Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a sacred herb for moxibustion, used to activate qi and deepen spiritual awareness.

Indigenous North American Traditions: Honor white sagebrush for its ability to purify spaces, protect the spirit, and open pathways to the sacred. 

European Folklore: Artemisia is associated with protection and banishment. It was believed to ward off malevolent spirits and negative energies, making it a staple in charms, incenses, and purification rituals. In medieval times, wormwood was used to consecrate magical tools and spaces.

Ancient Greece and Rome: Artemisia was sacred to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and wild places. It was also used medicinally, symbolizing protection and resilience.

Absinthe and Creativity: During the 19th century, wormwood became famous as the key ingredient in absinthe, inspiring poets and artists like Van Gogh and Baudelaire. Absinthe’s association with altered states of mind and creative exploration reflects the plant’s historical role in unlocking hidden worlds.

Ways to Use

• Apply to temples, wrists, or the third eye before meditation or dreamwork to deepen your practice.

• Massage into feet or hands to ground and connect to the earth’s energies.

• Use as a protective balm, applying to pulse points before rituals or energy work.

• Rub onto sore muscles or bruises for soothing relief.

• Incorporate into a moonlit self-care ritual to honor the cycles of nature and the divine.

This healing balm does what it says — it heals all the things :) From dry skin and red patches to cuts and bruises, this is my number one go-to salve. 

Here’s why it works so well, in my very humble opinion: Because it’s full of wild and garden grown plants that I ritually harvested myself.

This makes a huge difference. Having a real relationship with plants and the land they grow upon attunes us to their energy and gifts, allowing for multi-dimensional healing to take place. By carefully growing, tending, and harvesting so many plants myself, I get to pass along this attunement to you. You get to benefit from the ritual reverence these plants were gathered with.

But it’s not just the plants that make this salve so magical: It’s all the ingredients. This isn’t just a simple olive oil or jojoba base — this is a carefully constructed blend of several different carrier oils, each selected for their nutritive and nourishing properties. Plus, it contains wildly potent essential oils to enhance its effectiveness.

One more thing…since plants are multidimensional healers, using wild balms like this means that your mental, energetic, and emotional bodies also benefit, alongside any physical benefits. Plants truly are magical.
