Mugwort

The Witch’s Road Opener

Mugwort has long been called the Mother of Dreams and the traveler’s herb of the unseen. Growing at roadsides and old thresholds, it is believed to know every path between this world and the next. Witches have carried mugwort in their shoes, tucked it beneath pillows, and burned it beside the moon to awaken the inner sight.

This silver-green plant is a gentle guide—opening doors of intuition while keeping the spirit safely tethered.

Magical Virtues

• lucid dreaming and prophetic vision
• strengthening intuition and divination
• spirit journeying with protection

Mugwort does not shout; it lifts the veil like mist at dawn. Many say it helps the dreamer remember forgotten names, childhood memories, and messages carried on night winds.
