Deeply in love with mugwort forever ✨ Coming back from the city one morning after staying an uncomfortable night with a stranger, I was met by a trainstation edged with mugwort taller than me. It reminded me of who I am, what I want, and that I am protected when I tend the garden of my being.
I love Mugwort so much, I have a big gallon infusing in Sunflower oil that I just put up with spring tips! I love oiling my body, I find it really helps for body aches, and makes my mind feel gentle.
Interesting we just come sunflower oil for our annual batch of ritual salve. Sunflowers are the river as a flower, and mugwort is hidden healing fresh waters as an herb- it all makes perfect sense!
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 just found you, searching for info about mugwort. I feel like I "leveled up" while watching your video! I have been growing wild herbs and flowers for 40 years, and this was just what I need for more inspiration, so Bless You and thanks ❤
Thank you! A couple questions came to mind: 1) do you wash/rinse your leaves before drying or using? 2) after chewing leaves, do you spit them out or swallow them? 3) what type of string do you wrap the leaves with for burning?
Wow! Mugwort was my first plant to guide me into the plant path - always took it via tincture but I’ve recently gotten into smoke medicine with mugwort. I can’t believe how incredible she is at clearing my spaces! Thanks for showing how to make a mugwort stick for burning! ❤
This is my first video on this channel. I'm very happy I found it. I love how Rio Cosmico opens with a note on stewardship and has empowering messages at the end regarding the use of this herb to induce menstruation. I look forward to seeing more of their videos!
I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite way to work with mugwort! Burning, smoking, or chewing for sure I’d love to make a dream pillow. This was so informative, thank you!
I love to use mugwort for a dream charm, when i’m developing herbal formulas for my clients and I feel stuck, going back and forth between one or two herbs. It’s always good to sleep on it & without fail I dream about the right choice for that client. such a helpful herbal ally 🌱
Thank you for sharing and congratulations! It sounds like you have developed a really loving and supportive trusting relationship with a powerful and wise green friend!
One of my first herbal allies and after yrs of trying she's finally prolific in my little garden. This was really well done and you have an excellent way of communicating. Green Blessings to you 💜🍃💜
Many thanks for your encouragement, having plenty of mugwort around is unique form of abundance, so happy to hear you are getting to enjoy her blessings up close!
I absolutely love this video 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! ❤️
@@KanyesBigEgo Hey, I use mugwort in different ways, I've not so much used it in dream pillows or in mojo bags but I have spent the better part of 9 years honing my skills for flying potions. I use the witch's herb in incense form or in extract form. Thus, I have not only been experiencing astral projection, frequently, but also other types of abilities. This being phenomenon such as clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, heightened empathy, and most recently I have been in pleasant communication with my grandfather who passed around just over five years ago, despite him not condoning any of my witchcraft, he seems more excited than anything to see me each time. Perhaps more impressively, to me at least, is that with regular enough use, it actually brings out all of a psychic or witch's talents, whatever they may be. Even full on psychokinetic effects, such as weather manipulation, telekinesis, and also quite recently a weird apportation experience. Other stuff too but that's my personal skills which I do not wish to share. On the spell casting side, I use it to banish evil spirits or entities, banishing storm clouds too, protection, and invocation of our Dark Mother, now commonly known as Hecate. It can be used to also sleep up the effects of spells and help to manifest them quicker. Also, quite obviously, spells of psychic ability, divination, astral projection and protection, especially during travel. Using mugwort also causes women's menstrual cycles to align with the moon. On the body, it's wonderful for healing scrapes, cuts and bruises. Blessed Be
@@darrienjenkinsdj Just absolute perfect timing for you to ask this question. I'm shaking up some Mugwort Potions as I'm typing this reply. The trick to hedge-riding with mugwort is to use it in multiple ways around the same time frame. I like to use mugwort infused vinegar and firewater, as well as brewing it into a tea and also use it as an incense. It can also be smoked, too, yes, and can be turned into an unguent. It's a wonderful method to shamanic voyaging, and it amplifies a witch or psychic's abilities. The reason I'm making some now is for a friend who's magic had gone rusty due to a lack of practice, and she asked me to help her kick-start it back up again. When she's done with these rituals, her power will be stronger than it was before. Once you fly on mugwort, it automatically starts to open up all your talents.
Thank you so much for sweet share of a favorite plant. I especially enjoy a touch of mugwort in a cup of rich, hot cocoa before bed. Helps bring me back into my body and creates a lovely dream space. 🌿
I have always known of this plant but have rarely practiced with it. I feel called to do so now after a few instances of weird dreams whose energies have lingered. Thank you for sharing this medicine and for talking about dreams! It’s coming at such the right time for me 🙏🏼
Thank you for this very informative Video! I didn’t know that vinegar erodes the metal jars and that the Druid’s used the herbs aswell. It’s always good to promote the local herbs and collect plants yourself instead of exploiting other regions in big scale… Greetings🌱
It's good to be reminded to return to work with the plants I already have on hand! Number two was especially helpful as I've been in a strange space with movement practices and body work. This lit me right up to hear about chewing before a meditation. I will explore this! Thank you ~
As I was watching this video, 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
I’m so delighted this popped up in my feed right now. I noticed mugwort growing under my porch and I knew it had some medicine for me. Now I have a better understanding of how! I’ve had many dreams lately of people from my past. I’m going to go harvest some now, thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for all this information about mugwort. A friend gave me a few branches 10 days ago. They've been drying in a bag since then while I was wondering what I was going to do with them. You gave me a few ideas. Thank you! 🙏💚
I enjoyed this--thank you! I already have a mugwort dream bag but I think I'll add more ingredients, as you mentioned. I was surprised you didn't mention mugwort tea, which I drink quite a bit for opening up my intuition.
Thank you! For all my years of working with mugwort, drinking mugwort tea is actually a fairly new addition to my practice. I started out really drawn to strong preparations like decoctions and tinctures of herbs, and over the years find that when plants are prepared as even a very mild tea, they can reveal a completely different side of their personality~Blessings!
The Great Mystery is always perfect! I came across with your video 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!
Very educational video. I hadn’t tried a mugwort video 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 🙏🏽
I've heard of smoking Mugwort for enhancing Lucid Dreaming, but I do not inhale smoked things ... at least not in that way. However, I do use incense and Sage for smudging. I had no idea one could use Mugwort for cleansing this way. Now, I can see myself using it, and breathing some of the smoke.
Awesome. Not being a big smoker, i notice how indigenous folks who work with herbal smoke also do not always inhale. Smoke has so many beneficial properties besides aiding rapid absorption into the bloodstream!
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 video Yaya. Looking forward to meeting with mugwort when the time is right, perhaps through this magical giveaway hehe 🙏🏼🍃✨️☁️🧙♀️
Hello~yes, I think it's so funny the way science can not figure out how without microscopes or diagnostic technology, our ancestors still learned complex properties, constituents, and relationships with plants. Yes there was trial and error, and watching animals, and then there was ceremonial, intuitive, and shamanic conversations with the spirits of the plants themselves!
I have a giant mugwart that lives right outside my bedroom window. I never new what it was until recently, but I felt compelled to not mow it down when I mowed the lawn.
It was satisfying to watch you chew on the leaf, I was not expecting that 😂 I use mugwort around bedtime by just placing it under my pillow. I appreciate the different methods you mentioned because they are so accesible! ❤ i needed that reminder
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🌎 🌍🌏
Thank you. I learned about mugwort last year. Told my physiatrist she didn't like that I stopped taking antidepressants.I have a lot of mugwort here in Sacramento California to give away for money or drugs.
Yes, psychiatrists are trained to mediate with prescription medication and restricted by their certification from acknowledging certain natural/ herbal approaches. I have found that naturopathic doctors often receive training in both western and wholistic approaches and can be a better fit for *some* as guides for helping us transition safely from a prescription to an herbal or nutrition based plan for managing our mental health~ blessings on that exploration!
i told my doctor many years ago that i will stop taking the anti-depressants he gave me , he said" you cant do that" - i said "really, watch me"...............the docs feel that they have the authority becuase they wear that sill white coat and have all these silly letters after their names - but we know those letter dont mean anything..................
Wow so many useful tips, I’m definitely excited to try the apple cider vinegar tip. I just have to get comfortable telling the difference between the two plants
Thank you so much for this beautiful, ancestral, warm, and loving channel ❤️🙏🏾 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?
Yes! Thanks for watching. I experience her true power to be released over time and recommend a period of committed intentional use for any specific conditions or situations we may be looking to address. We get into this more in our course Mugwort Sadhana (www.riocosmico.org/courses/Mugwort) and are considering opening a group soon!
Fantastic! Wonderful articulation, and great ideas for getting to know a long and loyal friend of the mystics. Mugwort grows tenaciously in my garden. I like to sickle a large bunch and hang it upside down above my bed for dreaming assistance. Thank you kindly, Active Culture Family!
Thanks Yaya! this was a wonderful video, I love all those practices but will have to try the vinegar. Mugwort is abundant in my garden as well and my favorite is just to go lay a blanket beside a patch and admire it's leaves and unique aroma!
I've been hearing about mugwort for about a year now, but I've never tried it or known where to get a hold of it. Thank you for making the video and explaining it's uses. I hope to get some soon and see where it helps me 🙂
hello Thankyou for the wonderful videos 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
Wow I love this video! I’ve heard of mugwort referred to as motherwort and have heard that this herb is very supportive but didn’t know much more. I’ve never worked with it before but I’m very interested in working with it to clear and protect my space!
😭😭 I’ve been working reallllly hard these past two years on slowing down on blunts/weed consumption and the fact that this herb helps with this && I “randomly” bought it must mean im on the right track. Thank you for the confirmation ❤❤❤
Yes! As another viewer commented above, the plants have a way of finding us, it's amazing to realize that we often already have the remedy for exactly what ails us in our pantry or in our yard!
Thank you for this video, Yaya. I have been growing mugwort for about a year and didn’t realize she had cleansing smoke, so I will be making a wand soon to try this out. So far, mainly I have enjoyed tasting one leaf at a time for some bitter medicine, either before a meal or as the desire strikes.
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 :)
I too am endlessly delighted to find those living in harmony with the earth receiving similar instructions all over the world. For example I currently live in Kumeyaay land where Acorn is also a primary source of nutrition, and my Irish ancestors also worked with Acorn as a strength giving food and medicine...Thanks for watching and engaging!
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 :)
Thanks for sharing your story here and apologies for the late reply. (Or maybe just in time as we are once again stacking firewood here!) I hope to hear more stories of how displaced people who evolved in different climates adjust, as there is emotional as well as physiological reasons for our systems response to this unfamiliar weather!
I love your message and illuminating ideas; 🌠🌿I had no idea it was a witches / Druid herb. Makes a lot of sense. I love using mugwort in herbal smoke blends, dream sachets, and as a tea rinse. As an ally for subconscious journeying. Xoxo
It's something I have always been really passionate about, the ways that different cultural context exists around medicinal plants, and the relationship between those stories and culture specific practices and the potency of the plants!
I've been consuming mugwort for years in many ways. My most common is adding dried mugwort into coffee grounds. I do it to increase creativity, enhance my Adderall & marijuana use.
Awesome, thanks for validating this practice. I love cannabis while wishing everyone knew that there are so many plants available for helping us be well, that can be enjoyed in conjunction with or instead of cannabis depending on our wants and needs!
I did this this evening for good dreams! Bad dreams from recent rulings in the news is heavy on me. I'm anxious with anger, but it doesn't feel like mine alone though. I enjoyed this. Thank you 🔮🌿💚🌿🔮
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this plant! You inspired me to try to grow mugwort again - the lemon balm and calendula I planted last year outcompeted it but mugwort seems like a plant ally you want to have around :)
@trakehner20 It depends on the climate for sure. Here in California, I usually find Mugwort growing near creeks and streams in otherwise hot dry climates. When I grew Artemesia Vulgaris in my garden by the beach, she did great until a 2 week long winter rainstorm, after which she was black and moldy and had to be removed.
I wish I had access to a steady supply of Mugwort, but it seems to hate my garden. Nevertheless, I love burning loose leaves as incense and have made a tasty Mugwort and Ginger cordial in the past. I will definitely be trying out a vinegar as that sounds very useful and tasty!
I have not had great success growing her either, the biggest patch i ever grew got moldy after a winter of continuos rainstorms, but this makes sense because she is so wild and wise- perhaps she is inviting you to do more off road exploring of the wild places. I usually find her by a creek in an area that gets very hot. Fire and water vibes!
Thank you for your video.. 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❤
Awesome, I have a number of great Erin's in my life, and do think It's pretty cool to bear the name of the Irish Celtic name for Gaia/ the Earth Goddess!
where can i buy some of the mugwort deglousiana or whatever it is called.....i do have some common mugwort already in my kitchen.............thankyou in advance

I have found mugwort everywhere after watching this video. I am four months postpartum in New Mexico and I just started getting my dreams back.
Deeply in love with mugwort forever ✨

I have a large mugwort growing in my garden. It’s the tallest it’s ever been this year ❤
Excited to learn more about mugwort. I always have some hanging for my window ❤
Beautiful and informative video. Tysm. I have a deep respect and love for mugwort. 🙏 🌿 💕
Found much of this in the wild this season! Thank you
Thanks for this video! We have so much mugwort growing in untended places in our meighborhood it makes me think how many dreamspaces must need tending
Wow yes, I love your thoughts/ observations about your community, the plants absolutely find us when we are most in need!
Thank you so much for all this information about mugwort. A friend gave me a few branches 10 days ago. They've been drying in a bag since then while I was wondering what I was going to do with them. You gave me a few ideas. Thank you! 🙏💚
We use it as a "strewing herb" as a natural insect repellent
Great suggestion, thanks for taking the time to add that tip here for others exploring the many blessings mugwort can bestow!
I usually find plants that repel physical bugs also repel "spiritual bugs" or "negative energies"
Yoga also does this...

I love to use mugwort as a dreaming elixir
Yes, she is so available to us for this!
you know the stuff, thanks for letting me know the stuff.
It was satisfying to watch you chew on the leaf, I was not expecting that 😂 I use mugwort around bedtime by just placing it under my pillow. I appreciate the different methods you mentioned because they are so accesible! ❤ i needed that reminder
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🌎 🌍🌏
Yes, I love the way the plants keep weaving us together with the right folks at the right times!
Thanks for this amazing video. Would it also work to 'smoke' the Mugwort using my dry (convection) vaporizer or a Shisha?
Already signed up and can’t wait to learn more from the upcoming course 💟
Thank you. I learned about mugwort last year. Told my physiatrist she didn't like that I stopped taking antidepressants.I have a lot of mugwort here in Sacramento California to give away for money or drugs.
Yes, psychiatrists are trained to mediate with prescription medication and restricted by their certification from acknowledging certain natural/ herbal approaches. I have found that naturopathic doctors often receive training in both western and wholistic approaches and can be a better fit for *some* as guides for helping us transition safely from a prescription to an herbal or nutrition based plan for managing our mental health~ blessings on that exploration!
i told my doctor many years ago that i will stop taking the anti-depressants he gave me , he said" you cant do that" - i said "really, watch me"...............the docs feel that they have the authority becuase they wear that sill white coat and have all these silly letters after their names - but we know those letter dont mean anything..................
Wow so many useful tips, I’m definitely excited to try the apple cider vinegar tip. I just have to get comfortable telling the difference between the two plants
I need those shelves for my mason jars
I enjoy listening to you and appreciate your delivery.
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this beautiful, ancestral, warm, and loving channel ❤️🙏🏾 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?
Thank you for the reminder to reconnect with this grandmother. I’m not getting enough rem sleep so I wonder if she will help
Thank for this information. I am going to drink my mugwort tea. I also will start growing it. Thank you.
Yes to tea! I kept saying to myself "what about drinking it as tea?" I love it that way
Learned so much!! Liked, subscribed and love all that you do ❤️ Will be using it for my intense dreams and unwanted energies..!
Yes! Thanks for watching. I experience her true power to be released over time and recommend a period of committed intentional use for any specific conditions or situations we may be looking to address. We get into this more in our course Mugwort Sadhana (www.riocosmico.org/courses/Mugwort) and are considering opening a group soon!
Fantastic!
Wonderful articulation, and great ideas for getting to know a long and loyal friend of the mystics. Mugwort grows tenaciously in my garden. I like to sickle a large bunch and hang it upside down above my bed for dreaming assistance. Thank you kindly, Active Culture Family!
Thank you, Goddess bless the tenacity of our green family!
This was so informative! Thank you!💚
Thanks Yaya! this was a wonderful video, I love all those practices but will have to try the vinegar. Mugwort is abundant in my garden as well and my favorite is just to go lay a blanket beside a patch and admire it's leaves and unique aroma!
Yes, it is such a blessing to have access to wild places to just bathe in the presence of the plants without even needing to harvest!
I've been hearing about mugwort for about a year now, but I've never tried it or known where to get a hold of it. Thank you for making the video and explaining it's uses. I hope to get some soon and see where it helps me 🙂
thank you for this video!
hello Thankyou for the wonderful videos 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
Wow I love this video! I’ve heard of mugwort referred to as motherwort and have heard that this herb is very supportive but didn’t know much more. I’ve never worked with it before but I’m very interested in working with it to clear and protect my space!
Motherwort is another herb entirely- Leonorus Cardiacus
😭😭 I’ve been working reallllly hard these past two years on slowing down on blunts/weed consumption and the fact that this herb helps with this && I “randomly” bought it must mean im on the right track. Thank you for the confirmation ❤❤❤
Yes! As another viewer commented above, the plants have a way of finding us, it's amazing to realize that we often already have the remedy for exactly what ails us in our pantry or in our yard!
Thank you. I made my first mugwort tincture today. Do the leaves have to be dried to smoke?
Thank you for this video, Yaya. I have been growing mugwort for about a year and didn’t realize she had cleansing smoke, so I will be making a wand soon to try this out. So far, mainly I have enjoyed tasting one leaf at a time for some bitter medicine, either before a meal or as the desire strikes.
Wow just gonna assume it's gender like that?!
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 :)
I too am endlessly delighted to find those living in harmony with the earth receiving similar instructions all over the world. For example I currently live in Kumeyaay land where Acorn is also a primary source of nutrition, and my Irish ancestors also worked with Acorn as a strength giving food and medicine...Thanks for watching and engaging!
I have been wanting to try mugwort!
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 :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! As a lucid dreamer, this is a breakthrough for me!😊
Amazing, the intersection of herbs and dreamwork is such a wonderful place to linger and explore!
TY. I just made a fermented plant juice for fertilizing my garden using mugwort and brown sugar. Think I’ll “fertilize” myself with it too.
I feel like mugwort has spoke to me lately, I just learned it helps sleep quality and dang do I need that 😂
That you for sharing this beautiful video
Thanks for watching!
I'm excited to have found your channel
Hope you enjoy!
This was amazing, thank you so much for this offering!
Thanks for sharing your story here and apologies for the late reply. (Or maybe just in time as we are once again stacking firewood here!) I hope to hear more stories of how displaced people who evolved in different climates adjust, as there is emotional as well as physiological reasons for our systems response to this unfamiliar weather!
I love your message and illuminating ideas; 🌠🌿I had no idea it was a witches / Druid herb. Makes a lot of sense. I love using mugwort in herbal smoke blends, dream sachets, and as a tea rinse. As an ally for subconscious journeying. Xoxo
It's something I have always been really passionate about, the ways that different cultural context exists around medicinal plants, and the relationship between those stories and culture specific practices and the potency of the plants!
I've been consuming mugwort for years in many ways. My most common is adding dried mugwort into coffee grounds.
I do it to increase creativity, enhance my Adderall & marijuana use.
Love this, I have been looking to regulate my periods as I'm perimenopauseal Thankyou for the video, I have now subscribed xx
Happy to have found this channel!! Great content..I've got you in queue!
Awesome! Thank you!
Im totally using mugwort to help over come my cannabis over assumption! This was a great video, thanks for the upload!
Awesome, thanks for validating this practice. I love cannabis while wishing everyone knew that there are so many plants available for helping us be well, that can be enjoyed in conjunction with or instead of cannabis depending on our wants and needs!
I did this this evening for good dreams! Bad dreams from recent rulings in the news is heavy on me. I'm anxious with anger, but it doesn't feel like mine alone though.
I enjoyed this. Thank you 🔮🌿💚🌿🔮
Thank you so much for this video. You gave so much information and I really appreciate it
Thanks so much for watching and for the encouragement! We hope you have found a friend in Mugwort, or inspiration to rekindle the relationship!
Beautiful.
nice clear presentation
Thank you 🙂
Great stuff!!
Thank you for sharing!
Yessss! I give those funnels as gifts! Easily one of my favorite tools 😁✌🏼
You sound like a very good witch!
Is it best to harvest just before the flowers open? That is what I have heard, your opinions please… ???
Lol. The way you chomped that leaf tho lol
xoxo
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this plant! You inspired me to try to grow mugwort again - the lemon balm and calendula I planted last year outcompeted it but mugwort seems like a plant ally you want to have around :)
Hmmm...I want to grow it too, but how hard is it to grow? I have lots of vacant land for it. lol
@@Trakehner20 it grows very fast and easily with full sun - it is considered a weed where I am (CT) and will overtake anything
@@pollykor Hmm. Might have to try it. At least its useful ifit grows a lot! Unlike the weeds where I'm at, no use at all!
@trakehner20 It depends on the climate for sure. Here in California, I usually find Mugwort growing near creeks and streams in otherwise hot dry climates. When I grew Artemesia Vulgaris in my garden by the beach, she did great until a 2 week long winter rainstorm, after which she was black and moldy and had to be removed.
@cosmic child I agree she is worth cultivating if you can!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the blessing also 🙏 😊
Thank you!
I wish I had access to a steady supply of Mugwort, but it seems to hate my garden. Nevertheless, I love burning loose leaves as incense and have made a tasty Mugwort and Ginger cordial in the past. I will definitely be trying out a vinegar as that sounds very useful and tasty!
I have not had great success growing her either, the biggest patch i ever grew got moldy after a winter of continuos rainstorms, but this makes sense because she is so wild and wise- perhaps she is inviting you to do more off road exploring of the wild places. I usually find her by a creek in an area that gets very hot. Fire and water vibes!
I love this video! Thank you for sharing sister ❤️
Thanks for watching!
At 0358.thank YOU .we are thankful
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Do tinctures make mugwort more powerful because of the alcohol extracting more of it?
Could you use it as a tea?
Thank you for your video.. 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❤
Order it online. Do your own research
Have no fear, mugwort is easy to acquire! I love the mugwort from oshalafarm.com but you can order bags of mugwort tea on amazon easily as well!
blessings
What about making Absinthe?
Thank you SO much for this Yaya!
Your welcome, I hope you have a lot of fun exploring with Mugwort in the coming season!
My name is Erin too! I always get overly excited about stuff like this 😅
Awesome, I have a number of great Erin's in my life, and do think It's pretty cool to bear the name of the Irish Celtic name for Gaia/ the Earth Goddess!
where can i buy some of the mugwort deglousiana or whatever it is called.....i do have some common mugwort already in my kitchen.............thankyou in advance
