Mugwort: The dreamer's herb

Mugwort is the witch's herb of dreams, intuition, divination and protection on journeys.

Correspondences only, never to eat or drink

Mugwort has a long history as a dreaming and seeing herb. It's associated with vivid dreams, intuition, divination and protection. Put dried mugwort in a dream pillow, burn a little before tarot or scrying, or hang it for protection.

Safety: Avoid mugwort entirely if you are pregnant. It's toxic to cats, dogs and horses, and people with ragweed or daisy-family allergies may react to it. Keep dried herbs, resins and smoke away from pets, especially cats and birds.
