A pillow stuffed  with  mugwort  and slept upon will produce prophetic dreams. Mugwort is also burned with  sandalwood or wormwood during  scrying  rituals,  and a mugwort infusion is drunk (sweetened with honey) before divination.

The infusion is also  used to wash  crys• tal balls and magic mirrors, and mugwort leaves are placed around the base of the ball (or beneath it) to aid in psychic workings.

When carrying  mugwort  you  cannot be harmed by poison, wild beasts, or sun• stroke, according to ancient tradition. In a

building, mugwort prevents elves and "evil thynges" from entering, and bunches of mugwort are used in Japan by the Ainus to exorcise spirits of disease who are thought to hate the odor. In China, it is hung over doors to keep evil spirits from buildings.

Mugwort is also carried to increase lust and fertility, to prevent  backache, and  to cure disease and madness. Placed next to the bed, it aids in achieving astral projection.
