This entry was posted on February 10, 2026.
In a world that has forgotten its ancient allies…
There is a plant that has walked beside humanity for thousands of years.
Known to heal. Known to protect. Known to open the gates of dreams.
From sacred rituals and shamanic traditions
to modern science and forgotten wisdom…
Mugwort — Medicine & Magic reveals the hidden power of Artemisia vulgaris.
A journey through history, consciousness, and personal experience—
where medicine meets mystery,
and nature remembers what we have forgotten.
This is not just a plant…
It is an invitation to reconnect.
Mugwort – Medicine & Magic explores the extraordinary story of Artemisia vulgaris, a plant revered across continents and civilizations for thousands of years. Long before modern laboratories, Mugwort was trusted as a healer—used by midwives, shamans, herbalists, and physicians as both medicine and spiritual ally.
The film introduces viewers to the plant itself, then travels through its deep cultural lineage, revealing how diverse traditions—from Europe to Asia and the Americas—have worked with Mugwort for physical healing, protection, and ritual practice. Alongside this ancient wisdom, the documentary examines contemporary scientific research that now supports many of these long-held uses, bridging folklore and modern medicine.
Beyond its physical properties, the film delves into Mugwort’s role in shamanic and psycho-spiritual traditions, where it is honored as a guardian plant linked to dreams, visions, and altered states of consciousness. Known for its connection to lucid dreaming and inner exploration, Mugwort emerges as a guide between worlds.
Interwoven throughout the documentary is the filmmaker’s personal journey with the plant—an intimate reflection on how Mugwort can reopen a doorway to the sacred intelligence of nature. In a time of disconnection and mental strain, Mugwort – Medicine & Magic invites us to remember an ancient relationship we once shared with the living world, and to rediscover healing not just of the body, but of the human spirit.
