Herbal Dream Wands

by Katheryn Langelier March 17, 2022

I love working with magical plants.

I’ve been making these dream wands for close to 25 years. It was these dream wands that inspired the creating of the Lucid Dreams Tea.

I’ve been doing dream work since I was a young girl and making these has always been such a magical process. And so is the burning of them before bed.

These beautiful wands are made with Mugwort, Wormwood, Yarrow, Lavender, Chamomile, and Calendula.

I love mugwort, wormwood, and yarrow for helping me dive into the darkness and deep subconscious with curiosity. Pushing me to my edges of comfort while feeling strength and protection. The Lavender and Chamomile assist in getting there, relaxing my nervous system, and the Calendula represents the light, which helps me stay tethered and find my way back.

To make your own Herbal Dream Wands:

gather your fresh herbs together in small fistfuls
using linen, hemp, or cotton thread, make a loop around the base of the stems and tie a knot
spiral the loose end of your thread up and down your wand to bind the herbs together firmly
when you reach the stem end of your wand again, loop your thread around the stems a few times before knotting again
hang to dry in a warm, dry area of your home (if the humidity is too high or the space is too cold, your bundles could mold)

To use your wands, light the top on fire and let it burn for a moment before blowing it out gently so it smokes. Of course, always be extremely careful when burning herbs and have a safe way to extinguish your wands.

If you have these herbs dried, you can easily burn this same blend loose on an incense charcoal briquette in a fire-safe bowl on a heat-proof surface.
