Mugwort
Mugwort is an awakener to our subconscious & unconscious- shining light onto the shadow. She brings us into the unseen realm, lowering the veil so we can see with our true sight, our inner eyes.
For centuries, mugwort has been burned, ingested, smoked, and admired for her trans dimensional powers.
On a physical level, mugwort aids digestion, expels fungus from the body, supports the heart, lungs, and liver, and is an ally during women's menstrual cycles.
I would like to note that she is especially prevalent in the Catskill Mountains...growing in fertile and disturbed soils. She is here to give us a message, to aid us during this time of life here on earth. What do you think she is saying? Why do you believe there is an abundance of mugwort staring us in the face and offering herself to us?
