\u00a0How to make a tincture \u2013 super easy!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
• Fill a glass jar with plant material. If using dried mugwort, fill the jar 1\/3 full. If using fresh mugwort, fill jar 3\/4 full.<\/li>\n
• Fill the rest of the jar with vodka (I buy organic vodka from Trader Joes \u2013 only $13!) making sure all plant material is submerged and then cover the jar, tightly.<\/li>\n
• Store in a dark, dry place for at least one month, shaking it up at least once every couple of days. The longer it sits, the stronger the tincture is, so 1-3 months is fine. When ready to use, strain and bottle in a dropper bottle<\/li>\n
• Dosage: start with 1-2 droppers full three times, per day)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Using mugwort for dream work:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  Using the lunar chart, the period\/bleeding corresponds to the waning and new moon phases so it\u2019s no surprise that this moon medicine supports dream work and creativity during this phase in our cycles. Bringing in mugwort can help us go inward and deepen this creative flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

  A suggested ceremony:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

  Note: I sometimes experience vivid (and yes, sometimes very intense) dreams when I drink mugwort before bed so make sure you are ready to call in this energy \u2013 it can be powerful!<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Create sacred space: about an hour before bed, burn mugwort to smudge\/clear the air and set your intentions.<\/li>\n
  • Prepare a cup of mugwort tea, sipping slowly while journaling about where you are needing guidance.<\/li>\n
  • Let the drowsiness set in and set the journal by your bed so in the morning, you can immediately write down dreams, imagery, and messages that came to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you don’t remember anything, no worries, just try another night. I\u2019ve found that my body knows I may need deep sleep more than crazy ass dreams!<\/p>\n
