Mugwort in Witchcraft - Psychic Growth, Astral Projection

[@dr.taurot]

Fun fact: In México, we call Mugwort “Artemisa”. Just like the Goddess.

[@vitoriam.9038]

In Brasil too! We also call it Artemísia :)

[@stacyrosa6672]

Artemesia is the species name of a number of plants, including mugwort.

🌱🌿☘🍁🍃🪴🌲🌳🌴🥬🫒🌕🌚Soak mugwort in vodka for one moon cycle, strain out the mugwort, then mix the infused vodka with moon water to make a spray. Allow the vodka to evaporate out of the strained mugwort and use that for other magickal purposes. Loving the glamour magick too. BB.

[@donnaconnell]

Nicely done, Hearthwitch!❤🎉

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Ohh I like that spray! Me also.

[@chrisgarza5184]

Thank you for the recipe!!!

[@dishwaterdarling]

Mugwort is an amazing protection herb. I suffer from night terrors. I found that putting mugwort in a satchel inside my pillowcase protects me from nightmares. No more waking up screaming yay!

[@lilykatmoon4508]

I’m going to try this. I sleepwalk, have night terrors regularly, and have a lot of nightmares!

[@dylanloves2]

I sent my love to you Im really happy to hear you have some normall deserving rest. Good news is always awesome

Ragweed allergy sufferers- be cautious with mugwort, sweet Annie, chamomile, feverfew, wormwood, and tarragon. Signed, ragweed/mugwort allergic plant geek that did research and human testing on herself. 😅

[@MareaRayneOleander]

I am also allergic to ragweed. I have not had issues with chamomile, wormwood, or tarragon though.

[@brandyjean7015]

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.

[@RoaenHere]

1) You look especially pretty here! 2) I love Mugwort and it's one of my strongest herbal allies, so I'm excited to watch the video. Glad to see a return of this series.

[@TracyD2]

She is very lovely. I love her shirt. I would like to find something like this.

[@activistwitch]

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 🤞🏼

[@dariaabdul7797]

I’m Kyrgyz from Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia). Mugwort and juniper (archa) are the most sacred plants in our culture. Mugwort mostly seen as spirit magnet

[@elizabethmackay4590]

You can also make a dream pillow with a sock if you can’t/don’t like or want to sew. Really good video I enjoyed it very much, Thankyou 🙏🌱🍃

[@shonataylor3135]

As I am studying English folk practices and learned Mugwort is important within it I found this video 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

[@artofalethea]

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 video! Mugwort is truly invaluable ❤

[@ericasmith9007]

I had a very profound spiritual experience smoking a blend I created specifically for a deep soul cleansing bath I made into a makeshift "sweatlodge". The blend consisted of Mugwort, Marijuana, Wormwood, Vervain, and ceremonial tobacco. It didn't take much to meet my entire ancestral lineage that night.😵‍💫🌌💝 and the greatest thing ever.. I still, humbly, remember EVERY detail of the spiritual connections I experienced that night, roughly, 7 years ago. My depth of gratitude toward my spirit family for the energetic "reunion" has yet to waiver in the slightest. 💞✨️🙌🌌 (*disclaimer: Wormwood is an ancestral totem plant; Nonetheless, I went in light and low to manage administering slowly and as safely as possible.)

[@wittlestik]

I often make mugwort and lemon beer for different ceremonial and medicinal purposes (which is delicious). It’s a very versatile herb.

[@SeaToz]

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 videos. They are very fun to watch. 🌿

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

@SeaToz that's really interesting. I might try it when I'm not flaring. I can't tolerate bell peppers, cucumbers and sometimes tomatoes. Chamomile is also a no

[@shannonstevens2476]

Id love any videos like this on magical plants and their properties/uses. After 25+ years I'm still a newbie and Ive been called (so to speak )to start learning again. So I'm very happy to have found channels like yours. Thank you so much 🍁🪴🌹🏵️🌻🪻🍄🍂

[@ThatWitchesRealm]

I love using mugwort❤ I have even smoked it before astral traveling. It was epic! Flew with my dragon spirit that night. I just have to be careful because mugwort can raise your blood pressure. Lovely video! Thank you❤

[@kerrydeamicis3376]

I was wondering if it was able to be smoked. I’m sure in little bits

[@rozettwell6625]

Do you think it can be used in a bing, and how please? Thank you for sharing...

[@MareaRayneOleander]

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.

[@janitaek6773]

Here in Finland many of us are allergic to mugwort pollen and get a lot of airway symptoms from it. Even in the weather forecast during summer we will get reports on how heavily mugwort is blooming.

[@sunshineschnurer6198]

Beautiful! I love mugwort. Just to reiterate what was said too don't use mugwort when pregnant especially internally as dosing this plant can bring on menstruation.

[@FamilySmith]

🍀🌿🍃WOW!!! This was so freaking JAM PACKED with info! So incredibly entertaining, informative, and inspiring!!! Thank you!!!!

[@PumpkinMozie]

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.”

[@msk-qp6fn]

Ooooh fascinating!!!

[@Keeper_of_the_glen]

Mugwort is one of my absolute favorite herbs. Very powerful 😊

[@wednesdaysworld1471]

Thanks!

[@TheAnimalsMagicShop]

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 video, 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 video, I subscribed and hope you will do more in the future.

[@DevonExplorer]

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. :) 🌸🌺🌼🌺🌸

[@NanaLine001]

🌿🌿🌿 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 video, very informative as usual. You're a gem!

[@amiegriffin4928]

I absolutely hate the smell of geranium! I've tried making friends with it, but it just makes me feel uneasy when I smell it because its so strong!

[@madamemargeauxx2037]

In German, the word for mugwort is "Beifuß". This means "nearby the foot"... There we are again with the Roman soldiers walking with mugwort for protection in there shoes.

[@EddyDejagere]

In Flanders Belgium it is called Bijvoet ( same as in German).

[@WishfulThinkingArt]

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?

[@seekerof7-pr9iw7]

Love the information on herbal properties. The history is fascinating on the cultural usage. Thank you.

[@Justaclown-endoy09]

I’ve been seeing huge mugworts growing on the side of the road of all places. I always thought they weren’t abundant in the uk but I was very clearly wrong. 60% of the roadside near my work turned out to be mugwort. Definitely gathering some seeds after seeing this ❤

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

I was told that the Romans used it to help their feet on long marches, so it makes sense that it would be along the ancient roadways. That's where it grows wild around us as well

[@TabithaReminiec3399]

Wergulu is anglo saxon for Nettles The combination of Stinging Nettles/ Plantain leaves ,Cinnamon/ Goji Berries Extract & Magnolia Bark is wonderful natural treatment for Seasonal Asthma..

Great timing, I’ve just bought mugwort, sweet dreams tonight ❤🌳🌿🌱

[@ArisEmriis]

Dear Hearth, I LOVE this type of longer video. 🍀🌲🌿🌱🍃 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 🫶🏻💯🌌✨🌟

[@BiohazardBunney]

I've been putting mugwort in boiled water next to my bed when i sleep to help with at least remembering my dreams and it seems to be working.

[@rodcameron7140]

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.

[@kathleenhowellblog]

I went to prep my garden this spring and found several plants growing wild. I let them grow to see what they were. One of them is mugwort and it's now about 5 feet tall!

[@DollyKauionalani]

I haven't watched it yet, but I just had to pause and say you look so pretty in this one! (You are in all of them, but I live this look.)

[@gailfairweather1515]

I have never used mugwart but I wanted to learn about it. I do sleep with a bag of protection stones under my pillow. I had a major house fire and a stoke. I recovered from both. I do use lavender. And made witches balls this year.

[@christinareavley4788]

This is totally awesome, I have been thinking about a few of the herbs a lot lately that you mentioned today Mugwort Lavender Camomile... Looks like I'm making a dream pillow.❤ Thanks for the awesome lesson. 😊

[@vera.lilith]

Great video 💜 I'd love to hear about Belladonna in an another video!

[@lindaw6635]

🍃🌱🌿🌎🌾 thank you for this lovely info. I use mugwort from my garden for saining and hanging in tied bundles from my headboard post. Eagerly waiting for future posts on magical herbs🫶🏽

[@sienathewayfarer]

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 video 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.

[@belindarayfield5704]

🍂 Perfect timing 🥰 I’m taking a wellness day and doing some deep meditation work, so I’ll be adding some mugwort to my oils and incense. 🍂

[@kmeier0802]

Love using Mugwort especially before I meditate. Thank you so much for this video. 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 video. ❤

[@LeahSelman]

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

[@BiohazardBunney]

Hearth this may sound weird but your videos are like church to me. I get so much great inspiration and knowledge in such a pleasant way.

[@sandypurcell756]

[@ikniet5032]

Hahaha the ending of the video was so funny

[@LHA_1978]

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. :)

[@marlyd]

Me: good, maybe I'll figure out why I intuitively bought a butt load of mugwort without any specific intention. Hearth: moon, venus, earth, taurus, the crone era, Artemis, Hecate Me: oooooh, makes sense 😅

[@MargaritaCollazo]

[@matthewbe8919]

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.

[@ElephantseatShorts]

Recently went to my local witchy shop, and as a newbie to this stuff, I was asking about samhein and basic questions. In the end, the owner ended up giving me a bag of mugwort (for free, homegrown) and I was told to roll up a few leaves and put them in the four corners of my home. Which I did! I was told its for protection, which is cool. Wasnt told from what, but the owner has done my tarot cards before, so I trust her. But I need to know more! Excited to learn all about it, thank you for all the info!

[@lizziflaherty4317]

🌳 I love mugwort for smugding

[@ButterflyHummingbird]

You’ve provided SO MUCH valuable information and insight as I’ve finally become ready to fully embrace the magickal traditions of my Celtic (French and German, as well) heritage ! 🌳 I’m 64 and I first began getting "nudges,” little inklings, that I might be a witch in my late 40’s-early 50’s, as I was approaching my Crone years. I’ve learned so much from you. 🌿 I look forward to all I have yet to learn 🌾 Thank you 🪻Blessed be! 💐

[@Ozma0001]

Perfectly timed video. I planted lots of mugwort around our property when we moved in last summer. I wasn't sure it survived but each plant has popped back up this spring and I've found myself thinking about them in recent days. This was just what I was looking for. 🌿

[@eveywrens]

Hi Hearth! Happy Leap Year Day🌵 As always, thank you for the time and effort you put into researching, scripting and recording the video. 🍁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.

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.

[@TheBusyHoneyBee]

You have no idea how helpfull this video 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.

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

Artemisia vulgaris is the Latin name for the European variety
