I came uopon this wiki article whilst reading about mugwort this quote is from witchlore.com (obviously from a traditional folktale).

 

Folklore: (Russia) A group of girls was returning from picking herbs in the forest when they accidentally happened upon the rusalki. The water women asked them "What do you have there?"

 

"Wormwood, yes, wormwood" they all answered except for one very young inexperienced girl who laughed and said "not I, I picked meadowsweet!". The rusalki all fell upon her and she was never seen again.
