Then you could simply put it under your pillowcase, but as it dries it will break and flake. Most people prefer to sew a small flat-ish pillow filled with artemisia (and sometimes lavender too) and then put that in their pillow case. Often I'll take out the center rib of the tall summer stalks, or cut it finely, as it becomes like a hard stick when it dries. These dream pillows can be a fun creative project...Kate T.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13633152328900404203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864227486183312059.post-51335233731334417032010-03-20T21:23:59.606-04:002010-03-20T21:23:59.606-04:00well, let me tell you: not much makes me madder th...well, let me tell you: not much makes me madder than the objectification and trivialization of women. what i want to know about is using Artemisia in a dream pillow. this is all new to me - do i just snap a bit off and tuck it in my pillowcase?jeanne hewell-chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968723702291208185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864227486183312059.post-91653437668239876202010-03-10T13:35:53.242-05:002010-03-10T13:35:53.242-05:00Ruth-- I think how I react would depend on my mood...Ruth-- I think how I react would depend on my mood.

Maybe it's time to go out and seek artemesia....<br />Your post made me wonder - how would I want to react in these kinds of situations (instead of beating myself up for all the times in the past where I didn't like how I reacted). I'm not even sure how I'd want to react - would I want to speak up and confront the guy, would I want to just keep walking with head held high....?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982104261384040667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864227486183312059.post-51214759777092134452010-03-08T22:18:53.133-05:002010-03-08T22:18:53.133-05:00Aremisia does bring good stories Sandi..

What a lovely herb to share. I loved the imagery of your healing dream with understanding as the key. Since I am blond and grew up in Mexico I learned very young to tune out cat calls, whistles and honking. Dealing with other unwanted sexual attention has been a trickier issue. Often what I have considered a friendly conversation about a topic that interests me with someone without a chance in hell has been read as sexual interest which I later had to nix, sometimes unsuccessfully as obsession is a strange creature. I wish I had a more warrior like story of cutting through the bull-shit to reveal shiny powerful truth... maybe some time with Artemisia will have a better story for next year.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954279762058554786noreply@blogger.com
