Mugwort
Mugwort is a plant (sometimes called a weed) that contains thujone, the active ingredient in absinthe. Mugwort is known to promote powerful, visionary dreams and often also lucid dreaming. You can get mugwort at many health food store that sells bulk herbs. The best way to work with mugwort is as a scent. For Oneironauticum sessions, we usually make dream pillows. To make a dream pillow, start with a sachet, or sew together two pieces of cloth to create a small pillowcase, or even use the end of a sock. Stuff the herb into the pillow (you can use the cut off top of a small water bottle as a funnel) and place near your head at night. If you want a stronger experience, you can add a couple drops of mugwort essential oil to your dream pillow mix, but this isn’t necessary.
