[2020] Hypericum perforatum (Sonnwendkraut/ St.John's wort) "As long as your Sun does not Shine with infamy upon your brothers, she will fill you with divine joy "

The Summer Solstice is a sacred time, commemorated by our ancestors through fire and ceremony, honoring the Sun as it peaks high in the sky and stretches the day into the longest of the year. It’s often said to be a time of new beginnings; with the changing of the seasons, we say goodbye to a long, stagnant period of self-reflection and welcome the fiery energy of the Sun to propel us forward.

This very physical changing of the seasons is a powerful time to manifest spiritual transformations. Rituals to release, cleanse and renew, sacred scents, and other tools from nature’s pharmacopeia paired with ancestral wisdom can be applied and adapted today in simple yet effective ways.

Around the world, here’s how diverse traditions celebrate this occasion:

🌞 Mayan Solstice (Guatemala x El Salvador) - Balancing Earth’s energy for abundant crops.

🌞 Inca Ritual (Bolivia) - Honoring Mother Earth with music, dance, and gratitude.

🌞 Celebrating Yin Forces (China) - Recognizing feminine forces with symbolic gifts and culinary practices.

🌞 Astrofest (Croatia) - Stargazing and waiting for sunrise to honor life’s sustainability.

🌞 Ivan Kupala Day (Belarus x Ukraine) - Collecting herbs, jumping over fires, and testing romantic fate.

🌞SOLAR MEDICINES🌞 in our apothecary to channel the energy of the SUN!

As I am studying for a BSc (Hons) @lincolncollegeuk to train as a clinical herbalist. Getting a chance to wander into @napiers1860 whilst in Edinburgh was an absolute joy.! Great to chat with staff and having fun trying to pronounce all the botanical names for the herbs 🌿 Lovely to be able to get what I needed, though I could have bought half the shop! Adding all these lovely tinctures to my collection of herbs and essential oils. #tinctures #herbalism #studentherbalist #undergrad #herbs #woodbetony #stjohnswort #vervain #cornsilk #ribwortplantain #ladysmantle #limeflowers #yarrow #agrimony #naturalhealth #clinicalherbalistintraining #Edinburgh #hometown (at Napiers Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLWtZVMnUC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A beautiful and underrated topical healer (though photosensitizing), St. John's Wort is a long-time fave. Gold rutilated quartz for the flower, blood red garnet for the hypericin constituent 🤓 The perforation part didn't quite translate into the silver, but we know they're there ;) https://www.etsy.com/listing/540710608/hypericum-perforatum-st-johns-wort
