hi! i saw your posts about mugwort, and i was wondering you have any experience smoking it? if so, have you had any spiritual enlightenment/hallucinations/ lucid dreams? i would love to know your thoughts if youd like to share!
o shit I’m sorry, It’s been a while since I’ve logged on! I have a deep love for mugwort, and working with mugwort. The first time I connected with it on a spiritual level, I was told by a friend who does a lot of spirit work with herbs to collect mugwort in a jar, pour hot water over it, seal it, and then leave it among the mugwort bushes growing along the property to soak in their essence. At the time I was living on a small apothecary farm in upstate NY that had forests of mugwort surrounding the little house, it was really beautiful. I left the jar for two days, and on the night of the second day I was told to meditate on the plant while drinking its tea in my room. I turned off the lights, lit candles and created a space for the work. I cleared my mind and sipped some of the tea, and immediately felt as though I was sitting outside in a soft, bright sunny patch of mugwort. I fell into a sweet trance in which I felt saturated with safety, love, and warmth. It felt so real, I was honestly really shocked. As I sat, the feelings became stronger and stronger. I felt saturated, and eventually felt as though I was being sexually engaged in a way thats really hard to describe. It felt like the love and warmth became so strong, that they passed an emotional boundary and crossed into the physical, or something like that. After some time I climaxed, continued to meditate a little while longer, and went to sleep. It took me a few days to push through my embarrassment and admit to my friend what happened. They were excited to hear about it, and to them it was really normal. They even said that mugworts a sexy plant, and that my experience was almost expected. I also noticed that after that day, whenever I was near the plants, I almost felt as though they were reaching out to me in a way I could not see. When I got near them I felt warm and happy, as if I was approaching a dear, dear friend. I brought it up with the same friend and they explained that I had made a spiritual ally-ship, and that this too was normal. Hope this helps! Sorry this is so late!
