An oval rainbow obsidian cabochon gemstone is set into a wreath of sterling silver Mugwort leaves.

Mugwort has been an important herb to many cultures across 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. 

Associated with both the Goddess Diana ( its genus name being Artemisia vulgaris ) for the moon colored underside of the leaves, as well as Venus, for Mugwort’s historic use for uterine health issues, including regulating lunar cycles.

In China, it was used in traditional Chinese Medicine for utilization in moxibustion, which is burned close to the skin to stimulate meridian points to cause blood and qi to flow smoother in the body. This technique is still utilized today, often in tandem with acupuncture. 

Mugwort is perhaps best known for its use as a potent aid in both divinatory and dreaming states. It can be burned to sanctify spaces and tools, before trance, divination or other altered states; in lieu of other forms of smoke cleansing. It can also be used as a wash for crystal balls and other crystal divinatory objects, and/or used around / beneath them during scrying / divination to amplify and aid psychic states. Juice/oil pressed the leaves have been used to make a substance for use on mirrors for scrying, further linking the herb with prophecy and divination. 

For dreaming: Mugwort has historically been harvested, dried and sewed into little sachets which were then put under the pillow before sleep to "bring forth dreams". These dreams, due to the herb's potency, could be vivid, lucid and prophetic. This was a customary and cultural folk practice that was normalized, and has survived to this day. Rainbow obsidian has been historically known as a dream stone, further amplifying this jewel's potency as a potential dreaming talisman.
