MUGWORT SMUDGE
Mugwort emits a subtle, sweet, sage-like scent when burned. As it can be found around the world, many cultures have used it for centuries.
The Aztecs believed mugwort to be sacred, and it was used both as incense and as an offering to the gods. In ancient China, Japan, and Europe, mugwort was used to ward off evil spirits and to induce a state of relaxation. Native Americans used it in spiritual ceremonies to purify both environments and people. It was used in Anglo-Saxon Britain to cure “elf shot”, and to cast out demonic possessions. Mugwort has also been used in traditional witchcraft to invoke lucid dreaming, for astral projection, to enhance psychic powers, to bring luck, to ensure the safety of physical and astral travels, and for the prevention of illness.
Mugwort is associated with the Greek goddess Artemis, the protector of young girls. Naturally, as a repellent of mosquitoes, it was believed to be just as effective against evil spirits and energy vampires. Mugwort is said to be connected with the moon and lunar deities, hence its use as an inducer of prophetic dreams and in divination. It is said to encourage men and women to connect with the divine feminine energy within and to open their third eyes.

Smudging is an ancient spiritual ritual shared by many cultures around the world. It has a long history of use in Native American ceremonial practice as a link to the spiritual realm.
Sacred plants have been smudged prior to rituals since the distant past, and the resulting smoke was, amongst other things, believed to drive away negative energies, restore balance, bless people and places, aid in visions, and support dream work.
It is believed that different herbs have distinct properties in smudging. In fact, a broad variety of herbs have been used in smudging, and the specific selection depends on the nature of the purification. If not for metaphysical abilities, smudges produce a pleasant grounding smoke and can aid in meditation, relaxation, and creating a pleasant environment.
