A Simple Infusion for Enhanced Oneiric Sensitivity
This is a very simple decoction, but it’s one that I’ve had some great success with, and I was recently reminded of it. This infusion works best when the plants are gathered by your own hand, though buying the dried herbs will likely be far easier and will achieve similar results, given that they will still contain the necessary oneirogenic compounds (namely, Aporphine and Thujone.) If you are able to harvest the plants yourself, try and do so on a Monday.
On the evening of the Dark Moon, combine:
1/2 oz dried Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris)
1/2 oz dried Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea)
2 Cinnamon sticks (not Cassia)
1 tablespoon of whole Cloves
1 tablespoon of Lemon Balm
& approximately 25 ounces of Mead.
Seal it tightly and leave in a cool, dark place to steep. Uncork it on the following Full Moon, strain as needed, and store it thereafter in a cool, dark place.
For improved dream recall, lucid dreaming, and boosted receptivity to oneirc prophecy, drink a glass of the Infusion about half an hour before you plan to go to sleep, followed by any supplications relevant to your practice and cause.
