Mevlana Jelalludin Rumi was a 13th century Mystic and Poet. He was born into the Persian Empire in what is today Balkh, Afghanistan, and lived out his life in Konya, Turkey. His two signature literary works, "The Mathnawi" and the "Divani Shams i Tabriz" are considered second only in importance to the Koran in the Middle East. In the West, he has outsold Shakespeare in the English language for two decades, becoming the best loved poet in America today.

 Crystal Cleansing 101
05/14/2012 - 5:49pm
Jessica

One of the most common questions we receive at Wonderworks is “how do I cleanse my crystals?”, probably closely followed by “do I need to cleanse by crystals?” Generally, we do recommend cleansing crystals because in their journeys from where they were first mined to being in your hands they have been many places, and can take on the energy of many different persons and locations.  It’s also a good idea to regularly cleanse crystals already in your collection, not just newly acquired specimens.

Thunderstorms & the “Supermoon”
05/04/2012 - 4:34pm

This Saturday, May 5 will be the largest moon of the year, and it happens to be a full moon.

The moon passes through cycles of “perigee” and “apogee”, in which it moves closer (perigee) and further (apogee) from the earth, because the moon’s orbit isn’t completely circular. This full moon will be only 221,802 miles from earth, making it appear 16% brighter than average. Notably, this perigee moon will affect the earth’s oceans more than usual, creating much stronger tides for a few weeks.

Interestingly, this year’s largest moon coincides with the onset of the thunderstorm season here in Southern Ontario. Thursday evening (May 3) saw the first major storm of spring, with sheet and forked lightning spreading across the sky and booming thunder. The humidity still in the air suggests more storms to come.

The Magic of Mugwort (Part 2)

Mugwort
Artemisia vulgaris


(Part 2 -- see Part 1 here) 

In magic, mugwort is an essential witch’s herb. It is a herb of intuition, dreams, and prophecy, connected to the moon, Artemis, and Spirit. It has long been used to enhance clarity and lucidity of dreams, and can be used to aid inner journeying (Shamanic journeys, trance work). It enhances our psychic and intuitive abilities in general. In Ayurveda, mugwort is used for general unwellness and malaise, and cardiac troubles.

To enhance your dreams:
-drink mugwort tea before bed
-add mugwort to a dream pillow
-burn mugwort as incense
-take mugwort flower remedy (see info below)
