absinthe's significance

What is the basic history and the significance of absinthe, in pagan origin, if any? Specifically, what is the 'mythology' behind absinthe from a traditional heathen's perspective? I gotta say, if one could learn to love to drink plain wormwood tea, she or he can drink anything. One last question, is there or was there a good reason 'absinthe' was banned in America?

I have taken an interest in absinthe. I think I want to write an essay on it. Interesting, because wormwood is an interesting herb, in so many ways.
