Description
Threshold Work, Veil Lifting & Protection Spell Botanica
Walk Between Worlds is Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), prepared for real spellwork.
Mugwort is one of the most important plants in European witchcraft and folk magic. For centuries she has been burned before ritual, divination, journey work, and threshold crossings to protect the witch, clear interference, and sharpen awareness.
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has many other names, including Wormwood, Chrysanthemum Weed, Sailor’s Tobacco, Felon Herb, Old Uncle Henry, Naughty Man, Old Man, St. John’s Plant, Moxa, Riverside Wormwood, and Cronewort,
In Spell Botanica form, Mugwort becomes a conscious plant ally for lifting veils, clearing energetic residue, and preparing the body and field to move between worlds without disorientation or drain.
This is botanical spellwork and fire energy.
Mugwort clears what clings.
She lifts what clouds perception.
She steadies the body in liminal states.
She opens the way between worlds and keeps you anchored.
Mugwort has long been worked with at crossroads, doorways, dream thresholds, psychic abilities, and moments of transition. She used to see clearly while standing firmly inside it.

Ways to work with Mugwort
Burned as sacred smoke, Mugwort functions as ritual incense for veil lifting, protection, and threshold work. The smoke clears stagnant energy from the aura and space while sharpening perception.
Mugwort may also be used to dress spell candles for divination, dreamwork, or crossroads rituals. Lightly crumble and apply to an oiled candle to charge it with clarity and steadiness.
She is well-suited for dream pouches, altar work, or charm bags used during periods of transition, helping maintain clear perception without overwhelm.
Burn on charcoal, in a herbal burner, or in your cauldron.
Use sparingly. Mugwort works subtly but decisively.
