Herbal smoke wands are an easy way of bundling fresh, aromatic herbs to be burned once dried. They smell wonderful, and depending on the herbs you use, the smoke can also cleanse the air physically and energetically.

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a plant well known for its association with the dream realm. After demonstrating the basics of wrapping a smoke wand, I'll talk further about affinities and uses of Mugwort.

Let’s learn about the Big Three of astrology with Kayle of Other Dust at Good Day Shop!

We’ll cover how planets, zodiac signs, astrological houses and transits all work together and what it all means for you personally. You’ll walk away with a beginner-level knowledge of how to read your chart to better understand yourself and the people around you. 

After the workshop, we’ll build our own burner bundles with gems, plants and colors associated with our sun, moon and rising signs to set intentions for the months to come.
