Magickal uses and folklore
Mugwort is a commonly used herb for helping us enter into the non physical realities; in journeying, trance and meditation. It has a powerful history and folklore in its use of strengthening psychic powers, in astral projection, encouraging prophetic dreams and helping to spiritually and energetically protect during these practices.
An excellent companion to Mugwort in regard to its magickal uses is the flower essence Psychic Traveller.

I encourage you to explore the herbs themselves, from your own personal experiences. While written information is useful, it is a guideline based on the experience of others. This can offer us a great deal of wisdom but not everyone has the same experience when communing with plants. Be guided by what your work with the plant is sharing with you.

All of my botanical ceremonial craft tools and herbal folk medicines are sown, grown, harvested and crafted by me, with deep gratitude for their blessings and abundance. Their magickal craft partner must also have an open and loving heart with similar intentions. For more information, please visit VOLVA's values.

  • Smudge is used by lighting the unbound end and gently extinguishing any flame so that the herbs can smolder and smoke. Always hold a heatproof dish underneath to catch any falling loose herbs. Always place in a heatproof dish when smoldering. As these smudge sticks and botanical wands often contain flowers and flowerheads, these can burn faster and loosen a little quicker from the stick so it is essential to use a heatproof vessel to catch these.

    Ensure the smudge stick is completely extinguished when not in use - this can be done by gently pressing the lit end against the heatproof dish until you are absolutely sure the smudge stick is completely extinguished. Never leave a smoldering smudge stick unattended. 

    If using as a botanical wand, use as you would with any other kind of wand, aligning with the magick of the medicine of the plants outlined in the description. The botanical wands listed can also be used as smudge, whichever you prefer, although they do have more stems to ensure their structure and may burn slower or need additional relighting.

    Feathers and other smudging tools

    Smudging is often done with a ceremonial feather, to gently guide the smoke - this is especially useful when cleansing a room, item or person. A feather is not neccessary to smudge as the smoke will fill the area but many find it useful.

    Once you have smudged and cleansed what you wish, pass the feather through the smoke of the smudge with the intention of cleansing the feather, a good practice of energetic hygiene for your tools, ready for the next use. Smudge smoke can also be used to cleanse crystals, jewellery, talismen, tarot and oracle decks, altar items and other sacred tools by passing them through the smoke when your ceremonial work is done.

    Smudging is also a good practice to cleanse a room if there has been any disagreement, tension, arguments or heavy energies present. It is also an excellent cleanser in a sick room, or room used for health recovery - I have created a specific smudge for this here. It is also useful for when you have been in difficult situation or environment.
