Thanks Marie! Isn’t it interesting how certain plants were believed to have protective powers. I wish we still called today “Midsummer” too… All the best to you this summer. Teresa

I’m running out to get some St. John’s Wort now. 😉 Summer solstice is my favorite holiday, but I wish it were still called midsummer. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few extra weeks of summer?

Your post is very informative and right on topic. I have been collecting as many protective plants as I can get my hands on, so this was of special interest to me. Thank you — well done!
