St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) has been revered for centuries, not only as a medicinal herb but also as a symbol of protection and light. The plant gets its name from St. John the Baptist, as it traditionally blooms around June 24th, the date of his feast day.

In medieval Europe, St. John’s Wort was believed to ward off evil spirits, bad luck, and even the plague. People would hang the yellow flowers over doorways or place them under pillows to "drive away nightmares and negative energy". Warriors and travelers would also carry it as a "protective charm", believing it would shield them from harm.

Beyond its folklore, the herb was widely used by Greek and Roman physicians. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, praised its ability to soothe wounds and promote emotional well-being. During the Renaissance, herbalists prescribed it for melancholy and nervous disorders, a tradition that continues today with its well-documented mood-supporting properties.

Interestingly, scientists have since confirmed that St. John’s Wort contains compounds like hypericin and hyperforin, which may support serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, explaining its long-standing reputation as a natural mood enhancer.

From ancient healing traditions to modern herbal remedies, St. John’s Wort remains a powerful botanical with a history as bright as its golden flowers.

On the Finer Side Of Dragons

According to legend, the very first dragon appeared to the mythical emperor Fu-Shi in order to right several wrongs that had occurred at the hands of the monster Kung Kung. He was said to have rent a huge hole in the sky, and was a terrible presence who had to be stopped. Luckily the dragon filled in the hole and set the tone for how the world would function for the rest of time. The rhythms by which it lived its life – sleeping, waking, breathing, eating, flying – resulted in the creation of day and night, seasons and weather, and all the familiar patterns we recognize today.
