"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings."
- Wendell Berry
On this new moon near the winter solstice, we celebrate the dark. We celebrate this time that our friend mugwort (artemisia vulgaris) knows so well. The dreamer and healer with silver green "hands"(leaves) mugwort offers deep moontime medicine. This is a time of renewal, cleansing, and releasing what is no longer needed - just the medicine mugwort offers. They calm our nerves during dark times, help us digest whatever arises, support the release of congestion in our core, and then invite dreams to guide us forward.
Mugwort is one of the plant allies featured in the Moontime Medicine Guide. Order one today to have as a gift during the holiday season and support the - 50% of sales till the near year goes to support this radical grassroots herbal movement.
