An Ancient Botanical for Visions, Protection & Flavor

With its silvery-green leaves and storied past, mugwort has been revered across cultures for millennia—as a beer-brewing herb, a dream enhancer, and even a talisman against spirits. Named after Artemis, the Greek goddess of the wild, this aromatic perennial thrives along creek banks and roadsides, offering its earthy, slightly bitter flavor and intriguing mystical properties to those who harvest it.

🌿 Traditional Uses & Folklore

  • Dreamwork – Brew as tea before bed or tuck into a dream pillow to encourage vivid, lucid dreams.

  • Protection – Roman soldiers stuffed it in their sandals for endurance; Native Americans used it to ward off ghosts.

  • Culinary – Once a hops substitute in beer (hence "mug" wort); adds depth to herbal vinegars and bitters.

  • Spiritual – Burn as purifying incense or wear as a necklace for journeying or ritual work.
