Mugworth is one of the first plant that “talked” to me, she was calling me strongly, and when I press her little flowers, this sent was bringing me back to some really ancient memories. I sleep every nigt with a little bag of mugwort under my pillow, and every year I grow more of them in my garden, I fell she is such a precious ally, like if all my grandmothers and ancestors linage are with me, protecting my house, my land and the sacred space of my work with women. She is definitly one of my fav! bless you for teaching her numerous benefits and medicines! Tlazokamati Omateotl
I absolutely love this article As a witch myself, I use mugwort regularly in my practice for purposes of flying and dream enhancement, banishing storm clouds and negative entities or energies, not to mention it’s psionic tuning abilities, even as amazing manifesting psychokinesis. It is most definitely the Witch’s herb! ❤️
As I was perusal this article, I had a very potent experience of smelling a huge whiff of Mugwort! Transmission received, I think I might try my hand at growing this mystical being. Also I’m amazed at how many herbal allies there are for space clearing and would love to make a wand! I’m curious to see if there is any Mugwort growing around in my, will be on the lookout <3
I’ve been wanting to try mugwort for years now but as I live in a tropical climate I haven’t been able to grow my own. So interesting to learn that both mugwort and ayahuasca can teach you about other plant allies medicinal properties! Thank you so much for another wonderfully educational and fun article Yaya. Looking forward to meeting with mugwort when the time is right, perhaps through this magical giveaway hehe 🙏🏼🍃✨️☁️🧙♀️
Very educational article. I hadn’t tried a mugwort article but will do so. I will return to this herbal ally in order to approach my dreams with renewed deepening intention. I believe my dreams want to share more with me than I have been able to access, and now with a cancer diagnosis, I want to look deeper into my unconscious patterns and stories to understand the origins of this disease in my body. I shall ask mugwort to guide me in this way. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this beautiful, ancestral, warm, and loving website ❤️🙏🏾 I have an inquiry – I am currently experiencing a long bleeding in my menstrual cycle, 12 days now. I’ve always had a regular period. Do you think mugwort would be helpful? I’ve seen several things saying it could be, but you mentioned, I believe, that it could have the adverse effect instead?
The Great Mystery is always perfect! I came across with your article on instagram, and I was totally hung up on it! Came running here to listen more about mugwort. And I say it’s perfect, ‘cause I’ve just arrived in the US, missing my herbs in Brazil, but I was eager to connect with the medicinal plants here to start a proper work with them. So happy to be presented to mugwort. Thank you!
hello Thankyou for the wonderful articles I’m new to herbs an i have the most beautiful mugwort in my garden i harvested on the full moon what i wish to know the flowers are still buds its not flowered as yet can i use them once dried or fresh for tea? for sage? for smoking? for oil? i have also left some mugwort so i can experience it in full bloom the flowers once the flowers open how can i use these? Thankyou x
Artemisia was one of my first true plant companions and the first medicine I made was smudge bundles to share with all the people that came to my right of passage ceremony. Loved hearing you speak of one of my favorite plant companions. Blessings Yaya and gratitude for the wisdom you bring to the people🌎 🌍🌏
I make very detailed, large smudge sticks with a multitude of herbs and mugwort recently appeared in my garden. I was told it was invasive and to pull it out, but I didn’t because I feel like if something like that happens, there’s a reason . So I’ve been utilizing it myself (smoking a little bit before bed puts me instantly to sleep, however, I’ve had to have dreams that are unusual or especially lucid… YET. it feels a lot like cannabis without the weird loops of thoughts and paranoia that I tend to get just the body relaxation and very sleepy. I haven’t tried doing this during the day) as well as putting it in my smudges. But I would like thoughts on white sage and the whole cultural appropriation thing. I have a sage garden I live in Ohio, but I’m growing a multitude of different kinds of salvia, and I planted white sage. It’s not going to live through the winter so I’m going to utilize it in smudges and herbal candles that I make …but I feel like it should be OK for me to do that since I grew it and didn’t buy it online or steal it from the desert. Some people say that even calling them, “smudge sticks” is wrong, but it is always white people that say that which is ironic to me. I feel like in these days we are a blend of so many different cultures and ethnicities …that unless you’re doing some thing that is making fun of a different culture, utilizing and enjoying something as long as you’re not taking it away from the people who originally used it, should be OK. I look at it as “Cultural appreciation”.
I’ve been having the wildest and almost traumatic dreams during the night recently, i wake up feeling drained and it follows me throughout the day. I have to try mugwort! I’ve never used it before and i think it’s pretty awesome that it’s used by wise women and druids especially because most of the time i play a Druid during dungeon and dragon campaigns 🙂
My first intro to mugwort was 쑥, or Artemesia princeps, made into a delicious Korean rice cake. I love to see the cultural crossovers in traditional wild foods (like how my grandpa grew up eating acorn mush in the Sierra Nevada foothills and my mom acorn jelly in Korea). Mugwort was my first plant ally, the first one to become a familiar, and the first plant I made an herbal oil from. In past years I have made a body oil of Artemesia vulgaris and found it to offer relief and comfort during menstruation, especially applied to lower belly (womb), but this is my own experience. My grandparents‘ neglected garden grows into a mugwort patch in the summer (to their dismay, but my joy). If I am visiting during that time I might cut them back for drying bundles 🙂
Thank you for your article.. I really need help… I don’t know how I can get my hands on some of that beautiful Herb … because I live in the city, but I need help to remember my dreams, it’s very, very important… how would I go about getting myself the Herb and then drying it, Or already dried out …and smoking it or what other way to do it to remember my dreams …most importantly though my question is… how can I get it… do you have any advice, please, and thank you in advance . blessings❤
Thank you for this article – I’m really trying to learn about the beautiful and powerful herbs of Czech Republic where I’m from and mugwort is something we have a lot of. I am grateful you mentioned it can bring on a period as I work as a doula and wouldn’t want to recommend it if it’s potentially unsafe.
Is it common to find a field of mugwort along a stream? I can identify common mugwort accurately and I’m almost certain there’s about a football field of mugwort by the creek I always hike to. I find it funny I was asking the universe to help me dream and I stumbled upon a field of it…. Is that normal?
I’m not Korean but I live in South Korea and mugwort (쑥) is a big culinary herb here! People use it in soups, rice cakes, fried dishes, and even desserts like pastries! I believe it is also used in traditional Korean medicine often as a menstrual tonic. I’m not sure if the exact species is the same as the one found in Europe but now I’m really curious to research if mugwort is also used in traditional Korean shamanism (무속). (Although I wanna make it clear that I don’t use Korean shamanism in my personal practice as I think it’s a closed practice, but I appreciate it for what it is and love learning about it when I have the chance). EDIT: just looked up the species (idk if anyone cares but in case you do lol) and Korean mugwort is indeed a different species, although related. The species name for the Korean one is Artemisia princeps, as opposed to the European “vulgaris.”
In Sourhwrn California our native mugwort is Artemisia douglasiana. California mugwort has a long history of use, as a treatment for arthritis and bronchitis, as an insect repellent and ghost repellent. The Chumash, Native Americans of the Santa Barbara area, used the wool from the leaves to cauterize wounds and they used the leaves as a treatment for poison oak. I’ve gathered it & placed it under my pillow for a peaceful night’s rest. I adore it’s fresh scent.
I found mugwort in the wild here in Cardiff a few months ago and audibly cheered! I couldn’t believe I had it quite literally in my backyard!!! My wife has ADHD and after having mugwort tea she mentioned she felt like “things were clicking more” which I reckon might be the extra synapses firing? I’ve taken the habit to make a mug before bed, hoping to get dreams or visions 🤞🏼
As I am studying English folk practices and learned Mugwort is important within it I found this article so helpful and interesting for my studies! Thank you! I find burning Mugwort incense very helpful in aiding me entering theta brainwave state (almost sleepy but good for meditiation). May I request a deep dive into Yarrow, Elderflower and St. John’s wort if you ever want to? I’d love to enjoy a vid about those too! Thanks so much for great content
I’ve not heard of anyone being allergic to lavender. However, i’ve been told by severeal people that if you’re allergic to ragweed, you’re also likely to be allergic to mugwort. I, sadly, am allergic to ragweed and thus i haven’t been trying anything with the mugwort i bought before learning about the allery connection.
I love mugwort! It’s one of favorites and it’s so common you can find it everywhere or buy it for a really good price in bulk. I’ve drank it as a tea but I recommend not letting it steep for a few minutes cause it get BITTER!! Haha! Almost like cough medicine. I’ve also smoked mugwort (if you do this, please be careful if you are sensitive to smoke or have asthma or something similar) and after only taking a few puffs I’ve had some CRAZY VIVID dreams. Like the most vivid I’ve ever had. And I’ve found it’s easier to remember them. Also, some of the best sleep I’ve had, whether as smoking it or as a tea (it’s very calming like chamomile tea). Love this article! Mugwort is truly invaluable ❤
🌿🌿🌿 I have a plant that is growing on my windowsill that was started from tiny seeds. I marvel at its delicate leaves and how they catch the morning light. I talk to her but she hasn’t talked back to me yet. Too small and keeping its energy for growth I suppose. 🌿🌿🌿 Lovely article, very informative as usual. You’re a gem!
I love mugwort. I use it daily in a tea to ease pain and inflammation of a rare form of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) (and, no worries, I have the approval of my Doctor, who is a Rheumatologist). Interestingly, my condition is exacerbated by nightshade plants (tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, chili peppers, eggplant, and paprika) that includes mandrake. So I avoid mandrake, but embrace mugwort. Thank you for your articles. They are very fun to watch. 🌿
Ha, I didn’t realize I had been working a little bit of shoe magic once. I used to keep an old skeleton key that I inherited from my late great-grandfather around my neck, but when I did physical activities, I would stick the key in my shoe. I think I might even have had greater luck with the key in there. Who’d have thunk?
Dear Hearth, I LOVE this type of longer article. 🍀🌲🌿🌱🍃 These are so helpful and also, what a wonderfully relaxing way to learn magical things! So much info out there is shortcuts/hacks etc, which is fine for some things I suppose but I prefer your delivery method. I take notes on these when I learn something new, important and/or just interesting. Then I am able to easily memorize the information and keep it with me! I very much appreciate what you’re doing and How you’re doing it! Stay blessed 💖 and extra love from Seattle 🫶🏻💯🌌✨🌟
Mugwort isn’t something I’ve actually used before so that was really interesting and useful. I’m always pleased to learn more about wild flowers and herbs so I’d love to see more of this series. I love the little sachets you made and will have to make some of my own as sleep is often a problem for me, lol. Thank you, Hearth. Good stuff, as always. 🙂 🌸🌺🌼🌺🌸
EDIT: I wrote thia comment right before you started talking about mugwart pillows lol! I started making pillow charm bags. Little bags i put into the lining of my pillow cases. They mostly contain mugwart along with rose petals, a small crystal and other herbs. I replace them every month and they differ slightly each month. I make these with the intention of them aiding me with dreams. I used to have horrible dreams. Now they are better, and very vivid. 🙂
It grows wild beside my driveway, the deer like it, and I harvested some this year. It was full of tiny black ants but they weren’t eating it they were just on it. I took that to mean it was associated with the qualities of ants, especially patience and that maybe I shouldn’t eat it either. I did dry quite a bit of it though and made smudge sticks, one of which is hanging over my bed, and also a large branch by my front door. This year I am going to tincture it. I like tinctures best because I can start with one drop and then increase it accordingly. Plus I can use the whole plant, and they last a long time. This was a very well done article, and I not only enjoyed it but learned a lot. You are right, there is much to know about mugwort. Thank you for taking the time to make this article, I subscribed and hope you will do more in the future.
I ❤how it smells, but it’s a soft scent. I’ve put in a sachet for under my pillow (& yeah it works like an invitation to Fairy). To make increase its potency I’ve mixed it with Damiana Herb & then it smells like spiced honey & adds a little *kick to its sleep affects. Also makes a great “Hair Tea”, just rinse your head before bed & OMG make sure you can sleep in that evening
I lucked out at Five Below, and found a bag of mugwort by the incense section… discounted as well, and it was the last bag. I’ve always wanted to work with it, and didn’t know much about it. It’s a good thing I came across your article, as there’s a full, buck moon out tonight. 🙂 That mugwort is definitely coming with me as I go into the woods tonight.
pretty and clever, yesterday i combined Mugworth and amanita muscaria and when i went sleep it took me to the place where i never was before, it was so colorful and so bright, i remember the colors (gold and bright green) i have done astral projection, lucid dreaming and this experience wasn’t event close to that. every time when i sleep i know i sleep but this was like entering life after dead and im was spawn next to the God house. i forget about my life about every thing. there wasn’t any more me from here. just clearest piece of my spirit god and his beautiful land.
Hell yeah. Mugwort is one of my most favorite, and most used herbs. I find it really good for illuminating those psychological speed bumps which hold you back magically. The pillow in combination with a dream catcher is insanely potent for giving your subconscious a voice. Not recommended for long term use. 🍄 ..and I would love if you did one on Dragons Blood.
I do love mugwort tea. 🌿🌱🐢🍵 The bitter qualities seem very soothing and cooling to me. There’s something a bit liminal, witchy, spooky about the plant at the same time as it’s comforting. I often request her aid in magical workings, especially in being so open and protected while being open. I’ll hold some of the plant, call on her, etc. It’s been a while since I regularly did magic around my divination, so this article is helpful for inspiring me to get back into it! My partner makes their own absinthe (they’re a trained clinical herbalist with experience making mead, beer, and absinthe, among other things, so don’t just casually try going around making these alcohols). They make it with mugwort, wormwood, and other herbs they grew when they had their apothecary and it’s just delightful.
This has nothing to do with the excellent information in the article, but your pronunciation of the word “beer” is the same pronunciation I heard in the US state of Rode Island for the word “bear”. A shop clerk said “I really want a bee-ah”, and I said “Long day?” They gave me a funny look and motioned to a display of stuffed bears. It tickled me, and I hadn’t thought of that again until I heard you today. ❤🍻🐻 Edit: clarification
Love using Mugwort especially before I meditate. Thank you so much for this article. An herb I cannot stand the smell of is Valerian. Hubby loves it. I gag every time. Plus it does not put me to sleep it makes me clean the house but still not taking it because not only does it smell awful the flavor is even worse…not for me. Can’t wait for the next article. ❤
Hi Hearth! Happy Leap Year Day🌵 As always, thank you for the time and effort you put into researching, scripting and recording the article. 🍁Mugwort is a staple herb for many magical practitioners.🪴 I only knew its properties for altering consciousness (most commonly an ingredient in modern witches “flying” ointments), enhancing psychic abilities and facilitating prophetic dreams 🍀Who knew it had been used in the brewing of beer? 🌾Kudos for including and reciting the 9 herb charm (I was on board for it). 🌱And for sharing a myriad of purposes and ways to use the herb. Especially appreciate the mention of working with the plant spirit. 🍄Cheers for adding Mozart’s Queen of the Night aria in your bloopers.
You mention the spirit of the plants. I have listened to Apache beliefs on YouTube and they say that there is absolutely no point using a herb unless you have properly learnt about its properties, learnt to connect with its spirit and you have also learnt how to harvest sustainably and with respect. That is the general gist of it but there is a bit more. You are spot on! I do think you are absolutely correct when stating that we need to connect with spirits/Spirit. As for the dangers of mugwort or wormwood, well, think of absinthe, it literally rotted people’s brains.
I love herbs and essential oils and use them a lot. I appreciate all of your hard work researching and presenting all of this info. I find it informative, interesting and helpful. I would be interested in learning more about resins like frankincense, myrrh, copal, amber and dragon’s blood to name a few. Thanks again for all you do! 🌿🍀🌼🌺
I’m new and your website spoke to me immediately, its wonderful and you are very informative . My altar is full, my herb collection is plentiful and I’m reading books recommended by yourself as I already had a small knowledge but not enough . I had a tarot deck for years so time to brush up. Looking forward to your next article
Pachouli was trendy and popular to wear as a cologne in the ’60s and early ’70s. (I’m in the U.S.) I hate it. It absolutely gags me. I’ve read that in the Middle East it’s packed with clothing or household items to repel insects. To each her own. 🌿 Thank you for your articles. So informative and fascinating. I love all of them.
You have no idea how helpfull this article is. I speak fluent english but it is very difficult to translate plants into other languages because of its popular names in both english and my native language. Confucionismo between plants and mistranslations are very comon and google is not that reliable either. When you bring the assossiations, the deities, the gender, the lore, I can confidently find that herb on Scott Cuninham encyclopedia of magical herbs in portuguese and know you are talking about artemisia. The latin name would be better, but the cross reference is amazing. Thank you.
I haven’t watched the vid yet (but plan to), but found out that I can’t take it due to being on SSRIs. Apparently, that’s a huge medical no-no, since it can cause some bad side effects. (It made me very dizzy in an un-fun, unenlightening way when I had a small amount as tea, but the dizziness didn’t happen until a few hours after consuming the tea. I take 20 mg. Prozac a day. I know it was the mugwart b/c nothing else was different and I don’t suffer from dizziness.) I’m sure it’s a YMMV situation, but I feel this is a little-known thing, so just wanted to throw up a caution for any other anti-depressant or SSRI users. 🙂
I cant handle chamomile, the smell of it makes me feel ill and I don’t work with it at all. I figure with a reaction that strong we just aren’t meant to be. I finally found a patch of mugwort near-ish to me and have harvested generously and dug a young plant to cultivate at home to ensure I sont lose my supply.
