Entry: Absinthe and the Apocalyse Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/absinthe_and_the_apocalypse#6964 Post contents: Wormwood, Artemisia Absinthum, grows commonly in southern Finland. It was used for centuries to keep moths and other insects out, internally against intestinal worms and parasites, and an old instruction states that "if a husband suspects that his wife is possessed by witchcraft he must make a bundle of wormwood and beat the wife with it". This was not as cruel as is sounds because the stem of the herb is rather soft. It predated the arrival of Christian medicine and remained one of the most widely used herbs. Never knew it was mentioned in the Bible, as us secular Protestants tend to read only the more approachable passages. Sent at: 2008 09 05
