Mugwort

The Witch’s Gateway to Dreams, Vision, and Spirit Realms

Mugwort is an ancient ally of mystics and moon-workers. Known as the “Herb of the Moon,” Mugwort has long been used to unlock psychic sight, enhance dreams, and journey between the worlds. With its silvery leaves and strong earthy scent, it stands at the veil between the physical and the spiritual, offering insight, healing, and protection.

Dreamwork and Astral Travel

Mugwort’s most famous use is in dream magick. It helps induce lucid dreams, astral projection, and deep messages from the subconscious. Placing it under your pillow or drinking it as a tea before sleep is said to open the dream gates and sharpen your awareness during sleep.

Divination and Intuition

In rituals, Mugwort is used to activate the third eye and support psychic practices like tarot reading, scrying, pendulum work, and mediumship. Burning mugwort or using its infused oil before divination can help clear mental blocks and amplify messages from spirit.

Spirit Communication and Ancestral Work

Mugwort serves as a bridge between worlds. It is often used during Samhain, ancestral rites, or shadow work, helping practitioners to connect safely with spirits, guides, and their own inner wisdom. Its protective qualities ensure you remain grounded while walking liminal paths.

Protection and Banishing

Despite its ethereal qualities, Mugwort is powerfully protective. It wards off spiritual parasites, banishes negative energy, and can be used in cleansing rituals, warding spells, or protection sachets for psychic and physical boundaries.

Ways to Use Mugwort in Magick:

Dream Pillow: Combine dried mugwort with lavender and bay leaf in a sachet to enhance dreams.

Smoke Cleanse: Burn mugwort like sage to cleanse your space before divination or spellwork.

Third Eye Tea: (Use with caution) Brew mugwort tea to activate intuition before rituals.

Moon Bath: Add mugwort to a bath on the full moon with salt and moonstone to connect with lunar energy.

Witch’s Oil: Infuse mugwort in oil and use it to anoint your tools or yourself before spiritual work.

Mugwort is the herbal key to the hidden realms—a sacred plant that supports the soul’s journey beyond the veil. Whether you're exploring your dreams, protecting your energy, or reaching across the spirit world, Mugwort lights the way like a lantern in the dark.
