On mugwort

Botanical name: 
Artemisia vulgaris

"I have a great feeling for Mugwort and its ability to reveal paths and to protect people already on their path. To me everything about the herb points to its association with paths and directions...from where it grows to how it has been used. But it needs to be accepted for its wholeness and the direction it reveals." (On Howie's site.)
