Mug means glass; Wort means plant. It's the mug plant used for beer in medieval times. It is also used today at country fairs and gatherings by the more esoteric beer makers. It replaces hops in the beer formulas.

Mugwort is a very interesting plant deep in historical references. It is often said to promote prophetic dreams. It seems that Mugwort intensifies the dreaming process. It all depends on where you are in this process.

If you don't dream, Mugwort will help you to dream, but you may not remember them. If you don't remember your dreams, Mugwort will help you to remember them. If you remember your dreams, Mugwort will help you to have conscious dreams. Conscious dreams are dreams where you are aware that you are dreaming and in full control of the situation. If you are consciously dreaming already, the plant will increase the frequency and control.

None of this implies that the dreams will be pleasant. Some people don't remember their dreams for a reason. Mugwort can cause nightmares and restless dreams leading to lack of sleep or poor quality of sleep.

Some say that Mugwort is the most reality altering of all the psychoactive herbs they have tried.

These effects are most pronounced with long term exposure to the herb. Dream pillows, fresh bundles allowed to dry by your bed, and smoking over a period of weeks. You may not always experience the subtle effects with one smoke.

You can smoke Mugwort alone, but it's best to use as a flavouring agent because it is strongly aromatic. Mugwort can also be rubbed into a very good consistency as a carrier for the smoking mixture like Mullein but the flavour can overwhelm the mixture.
