Wormwood, Alchemy Plant

Artemisia absinthium (absinthium, absinthe wormwood, wormwood, common wormwood, green ginger or grand wormwood) is a species of wormwood, native to temperate regions of Eurasia and northern Africa. It is a herbaceous, perennial plant with fibrous roots. It is an ingredient in the spirit absinthe, and also used for flavoring in some other spirits and wines, including bitters, vermouth and pelinkovac. It is especially connected to snakes: mythology tells that it grew in the tracks of the snake expelled from Eden, for instance, and it was considered a protectant against snake bites. Wormwood is generally good in protection spells and also a tool for getting vengence through sorcery. It acts very powerfully on the nerve centers, causing hallucinations, delerium, and, in some cases, insanity
