Uses
Mugwort is strongly associated with divination, lucid dreaming, psychic work, astral themes, protection, and spirit-focused ritual. It is often treated as a classic threshold herb for work involving dreams, visions, and altered ritual atmosphere.
In Practice
Place dried mugwort in a dream sachet, keep it beside tarot or scrying tools, or burn a small amount as incense with good ventilation. It can also be used symbolically in astral or divination work without ingestion, especially where pregnancy, nursing, or sensitivity is a concern.
Cautionary Notes
⚠️ WARNING: Do NOT use during pregnancy or nursing as it can induce uterine contractions. Toxic in massive doses.
