RADIANCE. VITALITY. HAPPINESS. CONNECTION.

Saint John’s Wort blooms around the Summer Solstice and grows wild throughout the heat of the summer. She’s a flower of solar power, vitality, and the bright light of summer, connecting us to the wild freedom within ourselves.

Happiness can never be delivered in a 1 oz bottle. Saint John’s Wort reminds us of our own vitality, strength, bringing warmth back into the dark places in ourselves, in our lives. The medicine of Saint John’s Wort is in it’s buds, when they’re smashed in hand, they reveal a reddish purple color. The color has an affinity towards the blood, bringing warmth back into our bodies, deep into our blood.

She’s also relaxing, easing tension and warming our spirits. She floods us with light, relaxing us into freedom, wildness, happiness.

My experience with her is that she just has so much light, strength, warmth, I can’t help but feel it radiate through me. She’s a life bringer.

Moving into the Winter Solstice, she brings the light, warmth, and protection of the Summer Solstice. As the dark hours grow longer and we drop into our depths, she provides a remembrance of the light, the warmth in the dark, and the knowing that the light always returns.
