“The Night Garden”
Night falls, and the world softens.
You step into your bedroom as if entering an ancient temple.
The air hums with quiet anticipation, the kind of stillness that comes before a journey.
On your bedside, four small glass bottles wait, catching the lamplight like tiny moons: White Sage, Mugwort, Chamomile, Yarrow.
Each holds more than scent, they carry the breath of the plant itself, distilled under sun and star.
Tonight, they will be your companions, your gatekeepers, your guardians.
~~~~~
You begin with White Sage, sweeping away the day, clearing the pathways between waking and dreaming. The air feels lighter, like a curtain has been drawn back.
Then comes Mugwort, the ancient dreamer’s ally, and with one breath you feel the door begin to open. Shadows stretch into stories, colors deepen into symbols.
Chamomile follows, her golden calm sinking into your chest, coaxing your heart to loosen its hold and let the current take you.
Finally, Yarrow ~ quiet and sure ~ traces a protective circle around your bed. She is the sentry at the threshold, ensuring only dreams meant for you can find their way in.
By the time you slip beneath the covers, the temple is ready, and so are you.
The dream world waits, not far away, but just beyond the next breath.

The dream world waits, not far away, but just beyond the next breath.
By the time you slip beneath the covers, the temple is ready, and so are you.
🌙 Dreamer’s Night Tonic
-
1 cup warm water (or mild herbal tea like chamomile)
-
1 tsp chamomile hydrosol
-
½ tsp mugwort hydrosol
Stir gently and sip slowly 10–15 minutes before bed.
Set an intention as you drink
“I open the gates to my dreams with peace and clarity.”
Best done 5–10 minutes before lying down.
You can mist each hydrosol into the air above your head, around your body, and lightly over your pillow or bedding.

4. Yarrow – Seal the Threshold

Four plants, four keepers of the night ~
one to clear, one to open, one to soothe, one to guard.
Together, they weave my path into the dreaming.
💤 Tip for Amplification:
Place a notebook and pen by your bed. Upon waking, record anything you remember — images, feelings, fragments of words. Over time, your recall will sharpen and patterns will emerge.
