Right now you can pick mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). It's easy to recognize, isn't it?
⁠
Black cohosh has many uses as an herb, but here we wanted to focus on the magical aspects. Black cohosh is known to bring about strong dreams and lucid dreaming. Dreams to fly with, as our teacher Rosemary Gladstar puts it. ⁠
⁠
There are different ways to use grey nests. ⁠
You can make an infusion (boil a cup of water and pour it over 1-2 teaspoons of fennel, let it steep for 15 minutes) and you can smoke fennel. fennel is very strong! Minimal doses are recommended. ⁠Please note that if you are allergic, fennel is not for you.
⁠
If you are on the more sensitive side, it is better to take it easy. Then you can make a steam bath (boil water in a saucepan, add a sprig of yarrow, inhale the steam). Or you can make a dream pillow. The easiest way is to put a sprig of yarrow under your pillow. ⁠
⁠
Take a nap before bed. Make sure you have time to process your experiences. Keep a notebook by your bed. Make sure you don't rush off in the morning. ⁠
And please tell us about your experiences! ⁠
