HoTM: Mugwort

December's Herb of The Month is Mugwort!

Tell me how you incorperate this into your practice. What do you use it for and how do you go about it? Do you use it medicinally, metaphysically, or in another way perhaps? Come tell us what you like most about this lovely herb!

The only way I have used mugwort is by burning it in our little cauldron. I tend to use it when dealing with the many aspects of Spirit, for divining and when connecting with directional and elemental spirits especially Earth. I've used it mainly with other herbs. I have found that it helps me in connecting to my astral body as well and I have been figuring out a new combination of herbs, including mugwort, for my next attempt at astral projecting :)

I myself have not yet used mugwort but I very much intend to! From what I have read it can help with dreamwork, divination, and astral projection. All of which are things I am very much interested in.

Duuuuude, you can like cook with this too. I recently had the epiffany it can be used to season fish. So like imagine this on fish with chamomile and lavender tea. Oleanders are poisioness but I can make a necklace or garland out of that too. The mugort, chamomile, and lavender are good for divining, prophecy, and dreamwork.

So good psychic stimulates. Oleander is something Apollo's Priestesses would chew on. Now obviously...POISION, DO NOT INGEST OLEANDER!! The Ancient Greeks did it because they didn't know any better. But just because it cannot be ingested does not mean it cannot be incorperated.
