A Midsummer Bloom
St. John’s Wort is a bright, cheerful yellow flower that blooms around Midsummer. This flower is associated – obviously enough – with sun and light. It’s also used for protection, and to promote joy, happiness and good luck. These make a beautiful and appropriate decoration on your Midsummer altar, or as an offering to the Goddess and the God.
These brightly colored blooms have healing, divinatory and protective qualities, and help in rituals and spells for banishing negativity and for protection against evil spirits and negative energy.
St. John’s Wort is a powerful ally for those seeking spiritual enlightenment. It helps open the mind and heart to new ideas, and it can also help one connect with the divine. It is also appropriate for any sort of fire or solar magic, and adds extra vitality to rituals involving sexuality, passion, power and energy.
