It can be burned to sanctify spaces and tools, before trance, divination or other altered states; in lieu or in tandem with other forms of smoke cleansing and fumigation. It can also be used as a wash for crystal balls and other reflective divinatory objects. The leaves and flowers can be used around or beneath these objects during scrying or during divination sessions to amplify and aid psychic states. Using the juice\/oil pressed from the leaves for use in oils or salves have been used to aid in divinatory states or on divinatory objects as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor sleep and dreaming: Mugwort has historically been utilized as a sleep and dream aid. It can be smoked, used as a fumigation or applied topically as well sewed into little sachets and put under the pillow before sleep to \"bring forth dreams\". These dreams, due to the herb's potency, could be vivid, lucid and prophetic. Due to the calming effect of Mugwort, this herb has been used for healing as well as for sleep and dreaming.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMugwort has been an important herb to many cultures throughout the world and across time. One of the 9 sacred medieval herbs from an Old English folk magic charm for healing from the God Woden, it also appears as an herb of protection from the Romans who also grew it on roadsides to be placed in the bottom of shoes to help travelers endure long journeys. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAssociated with both the Goddess Diana ( its genus name being \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtemisia vulgaris ) \u003c\/span\u003efor the moon colored underside of the leaves, as well as Venus, for Mugwort’s historic use for uterine health issues, including regulating lunar cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn China, it was used in traditional Chinese Medicine for utilization in moxibustion, which is burned close to the skin to stimulate meridian points which causes blood and qi to flow smoother in the body. This technique is still utilized today, often in tandem with acupuncture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMugwort is one of my personal favorite herbs to work with, I admire its tenacity: it grows \"wild\" in the parking lot next to my Victorian era building between cracks in the asphalt as well as on the edges of busy sidewalks. It seems at home in the liminal spaces of the city as it does in the forest. I also appreciate its potency without fear of being poisoned ~ as well as feeling tethered to the past and undoubtedly ancestors who used and relied on this herb. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 53 mm from top to bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 53 mm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Solid sterling silver: oxidized to achieve a stormy gray.
