Mugwort is perhaps best known as a divination herb. Tools such as crystal balls and scrying mirrors should be washed with an infusion of this herb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also a mild entheogen when smoked (either on its own, or blended with other smoking herbs) or burned as incense during divination to enhance psychic and visionary abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea made from mugwort leaves is also used for prophetic or lucid dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mugwort is a protective herb. Carry some in a sachet while travelling to guard against thieves, delays, mechanical trouble, accidents, and other problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanging dried mugwort over a home’s entry points will keep evil from getting in. In old folklore, putting mugwort in your shoes was said to protect against fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mugwort is ruled by the Moon and Venus, as well as the element of earth. Astrologically, it’s associated with Libra<\/a> and Taurus.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
