A couple of herbs have been jumping out at me lately whenever I've been doing research. When reading a section on some of the "darker" herbs in a book, Rue kept getting my attention. It was mentioned as having a very paradoxical energy (simultaneously light and dark), as well as being very useful for strong purification and deep spiritual

I held a bit of mugwort in my hand last night before bed and I could definitely feel the pulse of its energy. I did end up adding it to my bag (one I put stones or herbs in that I want sleep with since the Self is more open to their vibrations at that time). Not nightmares but I had a series of dreams within dreams that were quite strong. A little trippy since I'd wake up from one and seriously think I was awake for real each time (I "woke up" like four different times before the real waking up this morning) and always in a different place and situation. Kind felt like going a little crazy >.>

When I finally woke up for real, I kept feeling the pull to go back to sleep, but I got up cause I knew I'd get pulled back in and I'd had enough for one night/morning. I'm pretty sure there was something useful in the experience but I couldn't write it down, when I tried to focus enough to catalogue it when I first woke up, I'd almost fall asleep and get pulled back into the "story" (dream series).

Anyways, thanks for the tips on usage. I'll have to stick to buying from reputable sources for now, for any herbs. I'm living in Shanghai right now and picking anything wild would be clogged as hell with pollution >.>
