Wormwood has formidable magical properties: it allegedly enables one to communicate with the dead potions were concocted for such purposes. In classical Greece, wormwood leaves were infused in wine to create medicinal potions Hippocrates recorded its virtues, as did Pythagoras.Wormwood’s healing properties are cited in the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, dating from circa 1550 BCE.Herbal concoctions have been brewed from wormwood for millennia:
Wormwood, the plant also known as absinthe, is a herb with a reputation. In Czech, she is called Zelena Muza: the “Green Muse.” She inspires, heals, and protects but is also potentially dangerous. The Green Fairy is a beautiful enchantress who rules dreams, visions, and psychoactive experiences. She chooses not to stay in the garden amid living wormwood plants rather, she is a goddess of magic potions, romance, and illusions. Many Flower Fairies prefer to avoid people the Green Fairy’s favoured haunts include crowded cafés, bars, dance halls, and night clubs.
The Green Fairy may be a Flower Fairy who joined this migration.Īuthor and master magus Aleister Crowley called the absinthe spirit the Green Goddess. Although she may physically resemble a Flower Fairy, the Green Fairy is a city girl: absinthe’s popularity coincided with popular migration from Europe’s countryside to urban centres. Wormwood is an unusual and powerful herb absinthe is an unusual and powerful drink and the Green Fairy is an unusual and powerful spirit. Regardless, even if once originally a metaphor, the Green Fairy has stepped out of the bottle and off the pages of poets: she is alive, well, and thriving in the twenty-first century. The Green Fairy’s origins are ambiguous: She may have emerged from visions inspired by drinking absinthe or she may have emerged as a literary metaphor for the absinthe experience and for the beverage’s unique and lovely green colour. This experience is described as “meeting the Green Fairy,” which may or may not be intended literally. Some absinthe aficionados describe a point when, having imbibed a sufficient quantity of absinthe, a unique clarity of vision is achieved, leading to the heightened possibility of psychic and artistic inspiration.
