Smoking Mugwort for Lucid Dreaming

[silentjohn]

1) makes things more vivid
2) more lucid, lots more lucid
3) Not so much more control, though
4) smells not -too- bad
5) doesn't make you sleep any better, just dream - in fact I think you sleep less well and because of that you're not as deeply under when you dream.

I havn't been smoking much of it, just a few tokes out of a pipe really. Word on the street is to roll cigarettes with them. If I did that I reckon it might be verymuch more potent.

As I lay down to nap, i wasn't even asleep yet, and saw a rather clear vision of some crows flying at me with a blue sky behind them. It was a lot like the White Wolf vision I had when I was also quasi-sleep quasi-dream. (some while back).

This is interesting as the day before I took a sniff of the scent from the mogwart baggie and two huge crows fly by me.

Hmm.

anyway.. i'll increase the dosasge sometime and report again.

Mugwort has been in common usage for centuries in traditional hedgerow witch scrying mixtures. I've used it in baths, rubs, smoke, teas, tinctures , soaps (it's great for your skin) and of course had buning bits of it applied by an acupuncturist.

Now that I think of it I can't think of a single plant in sp. Artemesia that doesn't have mind expansion/clarifying properties in varying levels.
Since all members of that family tend to be vascular dilators you might want to be aware of blood pressure issues (ie almost migraine headaches, untoward dizziness and whatnot).
