From Darklady’s Cauldron, The Herb Mugwort 🌿

Mugwort, the leafy little drama queen of the herb world, is basically the Swiss army knife we never asked for but keep anyway.
Also known as Artemisia vulgaris from the Artemisia genus family, it’s prized by anyone who enjoys seeing ghosts, dreaming in HD, or aggressively cleansing furniture they stared at too long.
It thrives in sketchy roadsides, abandoned lots, and other places that radiate emotional baggage.
It’s the raccoon of herbs, tenacious, slightly feral, and impossible to banish once it shows up.
Historically, it was used by Dioscorides for its majickal adjacent properties, especially in sleep vision work, divination, and purifying spaces without involving anything sensible.
Shadow witches adore it because it smells like earthy midnight decisions and behaves like it has a PhD in abyssal whisper networks.
Uses in Dark Majick (but like, without the theatrics you're used to from other apps):
Scrying Booster:
Burn it gently near your mirror or ball. It acts like aromatic tunnel lighting for the spirit highway.
Dream Spiking:
Place under a pillow or in a tiny bag. Expect dreams that feel like cryptic gossip from the void.
Shadow Clearing:
Waft the smoke around to clear stagnant energy, which is herb smoke’s kinder cousin to yelling at a room until it behaves.
Mugwort:
Encouraging bad ideas since ancient times, ruining your sleep schedule, but making the astral interesting.
A loyal little helper.
DarkLady’s Cauldron approved.
Not everyone likes herbs this stubborn.
But we shadow witches do.
And honestly?
That’s iconic.
