🌼✨ St. John’s Wort ✨🌼
Right around the solstice and just before St. John’s Day on June 24th, the golden flowers of St. John’s Wort begin to bloom, bright, sun-kissed, and humming with energy.
In folk tradition, this herb was gathered at dawn on St. John’s Day, when it was believed to hold the height of solar power. People would hang it above their doors for protection, place it under pillows to invite healing dreams, or carry it to guard against heaviness and fear. Some called it “chase-devil,” believing it could lift even the darkest moods.
Modern herbalism still honors this. St. John’s Wort is known for its ability to ease mild to moderate depression, support the nervous system, and help restore a sense of lightness when things feel heavy. It’s also used topically as an oil for nerve pain, bruises, burns, and muscle soreness. It may help to soothe not only the emotional body but the physical one too.
