MUGWORT:
Mugwort is associated with divination and dreaming. If someone has overactive dreams, they can be balanced out with a ritual bath made from mugwort and indulged in prior to bedtime. To bring about prophecy and divinatory success, make an incense of mugwort to burn at your workspace, or use it in smudge sticks around the area in which you are performing divination rituals.

Mugwort is often associated with the female reproductive system, because of its associations with the moon, and can be used to bring on delayed menstruation.

NOTE: It is recommended that pregnant women do not take mugwort internally, because it can lead to potential miscarriage.

Native American tribes used mugwort leaves to rub on one’s body as protection from ghosts.

The leaves could also be worn as a necklace.

Magical Uses Mug-wort is burned with sandalwood or wormwood during scrying rituals, and a mug-wort infusion is drank (sweetened with honey) before divination. The infusion is also used to wash crystal balls and magic mirrors, and mug-wort leaves are placed around the base of the ball (or beneath it) to aid in psychic workings. In China it is hung over doors to keep evil spirits for buildings. Mug-wort is also carried to increase lust and fertility, to prevent backache, and to cure disease and madness.
