Tonight we celebrate Samhain/Halloween, a time traditionally seen as the year’s “thinning of the veil”—when the natural and spiritual worlds feel just a little closer.
One herb that has long been tied to this season is Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris).
Herbalists have used mugwort for generations to support digestion, ease tension, and bring grounding during seasonal transitions. Traditionally carried for protection and linked to dreams and intuition, mugwort feels especially fitting on Halloween—a night when the veil is said to be thin. You might slip a little under your pillow, keep some by your bedside, or burn it as incense. Mugwort can also be used up in teas, tinctures, oils, and salves. And if you’re feeling extra witchy this Halloween, try adding it to a bath for a dreamy, magical soak.
Let us know if any dreams or insights find their way to you.
