Mugwort: The Witch's Herb
This mugwort candle is named after Artemis, Greek goddess of the moon-mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt. It's been called "the witch's herb" for centuries because of its association with psychic development, prophetic dreaming, astral travel, and enhanced intuition. When you want to develop your psychic abilities or have vivid, memorable dreams, mugwort is the traditional ally.
The Moon Herb:
Ancient Romans placed mugwort in their sandals for endurance on long journeys-physical and astral. In European folk magic, witches used mugwort for flying ointments and dream work. Chinese medicine uses it for "opening the channels." Native American traditions use it for lucid dreaming and vision work. Across cultures, mugwort is for crossing boundaries-between waking and dreaming, conscious and unconscious, physical and spiritual.
Psychic & Dream Work:
Mugwort is traditional for lucid dreaming, dream recall, prophetic dreams, psychic development, astral projection, and divination. Many practitioners burn it before bed or during meditation when working on developing psychic abilities. Some make dream pillows with it. It's considered essential for anyone serious about dream work or developing their intuitive gifts. Mugwort doesn't give you abilities you don't have-it helps you access and develop what's already there.
The Mystical Aroma:
Mugwort has a distinctive, somewhat sharp, slightly bitter herbaceous scent with subtle sage-like notes. It's not sweet or gentle-it's powerful and opening. Traditional practitioners describe it as "piercing the veil" between worlds. The scent is activating, consciousness-shifting, definitely not for peaceful sleep but for vivid, memorable, workable dreams.
Extracting the Dreamer:
Mugwort's psychoactive compounds (yes, it has them, though not in a recreational sense) need specific temperatures to extract without destroying. Too much heat and you lose the very properties that make mugwort useful for dream work. We infuse fresh mugwort leaves and flowers directly into beeswax at carefully controlled temperatures, spending hours extracting its dream-enhancing, intuition-opening properties. This psychic development candle carries mugwort's full mystical presence-the real witch's herb for real psychic work.
