Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)

Description: Mugwort, often called the "dream herb," is known for its potent ability to enhance vivid dreams and promote prophetic visions. It’s silvery, aromatic leaves release a soothing scent that open the mind to the other world.

Folklore: Mugwort has strong associations with dreaming and the moon, and it has often been reported to encourage vivid dreams. It is said that by hanging mugwort above the bed, or by placing the herb under ones pillow, it may grant the sleeper remembrance of their dreams upon waking.

Topical Healing Properties: Mugwort offers soothing relief and promotes skin healing, ideal for calming inflammation, moisturizing dry skin, and protecting against infections when applied topically.

Rose (Rosa damascena)

Description: Rose petals add a touch of beauty and love to the dreaming bath. Their delicate fragrance calms the mind and opens the heart, creating a sense of peace and emotional balance.

Folklore: Roses have long been symbols of beauty, purity, protection, and secret love. Rose is often used in love spells and divination rituals to gain insights into the heart's desires.

Topical Healing Properties: Rose provides gentle hydration, soothes irritation, and enhances skin tone, encouraging a healthy, radiant complexion when used topically.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Description: Yarrow is known for its protective and healing properties. It helps to create a safe space for dream exploration through the warding of hostile spirits.

Folklore: In Celtic folklore, yarrow was used in divination rituals and as a protective charm. Warriors carried yarrow for courage and protection in battle, and it was also used in love divination to reveal one's true love. In a dreaming bath, yarrow helps to protect and guide the dreamer.

Tessa’s Preferred Preparation

Light a candle.

Fill a 4” metal tea ball or large cotton sash with herbs. Let the herbs steep in your steaming hot bath water as it fills. Let the water cool to a comfortable temperature before bathing. Let the herbs continue to steep in your bath water until you are through with your bath.

Now is a good time to add any oils you desire to your soak. I find oils are absorbed into the skin much more effectively in warm bath water, compared to dry skin.

As you soak, focus on the answers you would like to divine through a night vision. Say a simple invocation or prayer to set your intention. For example:

"With mugwort, I open myself to the other world. With rose, I welcome softness and grief into my heart. With yarrow, I do seek the face of my beloved. May my dreams be filled with divine guidance."

Do not dry your body with a towel, but let yourself drip dry before retiring to bed.

Alternative Preparation (if you don’t have a ball or sash)

Boil a pot of water and add the dried herbs. Let them steep for about 20 minutes, allowing the herbs to release their properties and darken the water.

Strain the herbal infusion and pour it into your warm bath.
