about

In this short rhyme from the folklore archives in Uppsala, Sweden, the plant Mugwort asks to be called Luna, like the moon.

In the Old English 'Nine Herbs Charm', Mugwort is cryptically addressed as 'Una'. Could there be a connection between the two, even though they are separated by a large expanse of geography and time?

lyrics

Kallar du mig Gråbo,
botar jag hvarken kuna eller ko

Men kallar du mig Luna,
botar jag både din ko och din kuna
