Safety Note

For External Use Only — Do Not Ingest. St. John's Wort oil may increase skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure on treated skin after application, and use sun protection if you expect sun exposure. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. As with any new topical product, we recommend a patch test before regular use. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are taking prescription medications — particularly antidepressants, blood thinners, or hormonal birth control — please consult your doctor before regular or extensive use.

Key Magickal Benefits

This oil's deep red color embodies St. John's Wort's oldest legend — the herb of Midsummer, the sun's peak power, and the blood of a saint.

1. The Herb of Midsummer — St. John's Wort's defining magickal identity. Traditionally gathered on St. John's Eve (June 23rd), woven into garlands, hung over doorways, and thrown into the Midsummer bonfires.
   
   
2. Protection Against Evil — Known by the old folk name "chase devil," St. John's Wort was worn or hung in the home to ward off evil spirits, witches, and the evil eye.
   
   
3. Protection of Home and Hearth — Traditionally rubbed on doorframes and lintels to protect the home from fire, thunder, and storms.
   
   
4. The Blood of St. John — Legend holds that the plant sprang from the blood of St. John the Baptist after his beheading — a story this oil embodies directly, its deep red color coming from the same pigment, hypericin, that gives the legend its lasting power.
   
   
5. Dreamwork and Divination — Traditionally placed beneath the pillow to dream of a future partner.
   
   
6. Planetary Correspondences — Ruled by the Sun, under the sign of Leo, as attributed by both Culpeper and William Lilly.
