Organic Mugwort Smudge Stick

Our Mugwort is organic, sustainably grown, harvested, and wrapped in the USA. This listing is for one (1) Mugwort bundle. Each stick is 4" in length.

Mugwort is native to temperate Europe, Asia, northern Africa and Alaska and is naturalized in North America, where some consider it an invasive weed. In some magical traditions, mugwort is associated with divination and dreaming. Mugwort is also known as “dream weed” for its unique ability to stimulate dreams. It is renowned as a smudging herb for its subtle, sweet scent and dream-inducing qualities.

To bring about prophecy and divinatory success, make an incense of mugwort to burn at your workspace, or use it in smudge sticks around the area in which you are performing divination rituals.

To prevent astral attacks, or to ward off psychic attacks from those who would do you harm, place mugwort under your pillow or next to your bed (do not burn it while sleeping).

Mugwort can also be used to celebrate Litha.

Smudging:

Smudging is traditionally used in rituals, ceremonies, purification, house blessings, and energy cleansing. The smoke is believed by many to cleanse either a space or the body and aura, drive away negative energy and help reconnect with mother earth. Make sure the room where you are smudging is well ventilated with doors and windows open. This helps the negative energy to flow freely out while allowing the smoke to clear the air.

Carefully light one end using a small flame. Allow the end to burn for a few seconds, then quickly blow out the flame. Place the smoking stick on a fire-safe surface - e.g. metal or clay bowl, shell, crystal agate dish, etc. Keep a small dish or cup of water nearby for quick distinguishing.

Do not use it if you suffer from Asthma or have respiratory issues. Do not use near infants or young children or anyone who is pregnant. Do not leave burning smudge unattended and make sure the stick is extinguished after use.
