Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi all, I was wondering: do any of you know how mugwort (Artemisia) came to be named after the goddess Artemis? What is the connection, why is this herb linked with her? ~HorseCrow~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Suprisingly...i had it right http://www.paganpath.com/artmoongarden.html My mom and I were just discussing the Artemisia family last week and i remember one of the things i read, made mention of silver. Artemis carried a quiver of Silver arrows and i think Apollo had Gold ones. Anyway here is link that will tell you more.
