Make a Mugwort Dream Pillow

Mugwort — bylica — has been tucked under pillows in Polish villages for generations. Haggath still sews these little pillows by the fire in winter.

What you need

• Two squares of cotton or linen, about 10 cm
• Two tablespoons of dried mugwort
• One tablespoon of dried lavender
• Needle and thread

How to make it

1. Sew three sides of the squares together.
2. Fill with the herbs, holding a question you want to dream on.
3. Stitch the last side closed.
4. Place it inside your pillowcase and keep a notebook by the bed.

Write down what you remember as soon as you wake, before it fades. Replace the herbs each season.

Note: avoid mugwort if you are pregnant. Dried herbs and ready-made pillows are in Haggath's shop.
