ST JOHNS WORT
SUMMER PLANT INITIATION
11 DAYS 𖤓 JUNE 24 - JULY 5
WORKING WITH PLANTS AS ALLIES TO BIRTH THE INNER LIGHT
This plant initiation is offered as a donation based online journey where you will learn The Art Of Self-Initiation guided by The Divine Mother through the devic kingdom of the plants.
It is a beginner friendly 11 day ceremonial journey which will guide you into a deeply transformative and healing relationship with Nature, your own soul, and The Cosmic Mother who is the great being that initiates us through each of our Earth incarnations. When we become students of her mysteries we begin to unlock and remember our own inner mystery. The map of the Soul and the Wisdom of the World awakens within our innermost being. We are guided by the devas of nature to realize our highest potential as we embark on the great adventure of soul retreival, self-realization, and integration of our higher purpose to develop our unique gifts that we are here to offer the world through our inner liberation.
If you want to know your true self - the original and divine spirit essence within your heart - you must explore the dimensions of your inner world. This is an invitation to break the collective curse of oppression against the True You by diving into the mystery that lives in your soul and give yourself permission to express, feel, create, transform, and liberate your Self through the dance of surrender, allowing, loving, and listening to what is alive and present in the depths of your being.
This self-initiation is offered as a guide and an entry into The Mystery School Of Mother Earth, where you become a student of the higher devas that are angelic beings with healing powers and teachers of divine wisdom who guides the aspirant through the sacred mirror of life and secret language of nature. They initiate us into the birth of the soul consciousness (higher self) which is a long process of many lifetimes. and they teaches us how to transform the lower personality matrix by integrating and synthesising the inner polarities (your light and darkness - masculine and feminine) through Love as the unifying principle. This is the Green Path of Magic, Mystery, and Creation towards divine inner union where we begin and deepen the process of purification and catharsis through our discipleship with the Divine Mother and the master teachers that are the plant spirit devas.
The Mother Loves All Her Children. No matter how far out of love that we fall, how "bad" we once were, she will always be there inviting us to follow her eternal heart back to her womb of creation where we may rebirth ourselves and restore the innocence and purity of the heart as we learn, evolve, and expand the soul through each of our earth incarnations.
This is your invitation to reclaim your inner magic, reignite your creative fire, and begin or deepen your relationship with Mother Earth and the Spirits of Nature to heal and awaken the Heart Seed.
BAPTISED BY THE SOLAR LIGHT
HYPERICUM PERFORATUM
St John's Wort was the fifth plant ally that entered my journey during my second year of discipleship with the Divine Mother. This great deva presented itself to me shortly after I arrived back home to Sweden from my 3 months in the Amazon, which was where I experienced the most difficult initiation I have undertaken since I began this journey. When I arrived back home from the jungle I was psychically fragmented and often experienced intense episodes of anxiety and cognitive dysfunction, I felt unsafe in my body and mind due to the many difficult and challenging processes I had during my initiation in the Amazon. I endured mystical illness, parasitic infestation - both internally and externally, soul fragmentation, heightened psychic abilities which revealed a wide variety of negative occult forces that seemed to work against my liberation, a loss of connection between my heart and soul which resulted in me feeling abandoned by god. My deepest shadow; all that I feared; became a living reality. However I knew this was all apart of my learning and trusted that I would find my way through it.
St John's Wort appeared the first week after my return to Sweden. The plant was growing in places I've never seen before on my walks through the forest, it was loudly and vibrantly calling me into a connection, an invitation that turned out to be the ultimate remedy for me at that time. This spirit and medicine helped me reestablish a strong inner energetic foundation through clearing and balancing my solar plexus chakra and astral body, which had been infiltrated by negative forces and severely destabilized during my time in the jungle. This initiation was incredibly important as it offered support and an energetic bridge for my body and consciousness to integrate the growing light and wisdom which was awakened as a result of my previous initiations. St John's Wort came in as a potent purifier and light bringer, it helped me regain a sense of inner safety through illuminating a new facet of the mystery of my soul's journey. I began to understand the deeper meaning and processes of my path with the plants.
TRADITIONAL ORIGIN
MEDICINAL AND PSYCHOSPIRITUAL PROPERTIES
I will refer to the deva of St. John's Wort as holding a powerful masculine signature and vital force, it is one of the strongest solar infused plants in the world and some may even say that it is the Sun embodied in plant form. Ruled by the sun and the zodiac sign Leo, St John Wort when harvested during summer solstice becomes a powerful magical ally and medicine which most potently encapsule the most high energies of this cosmic portal and the vital forces of the sun - This medicine symbolically represents and hold the signature of the triumph of light over darkness. It uplifts the spirit and filters out negativity and lower forms of mental and emotional energy that drains and darkens the inner life.
In folk medicine St. John's Wort is used as a potent wound healer - both external and internal; emotional, mental and physical. The oil is the best and most effective remedy for burns, scalding, corrosive poisons (even inwardly), greasy splashes into the eyes, wounds, abrasions and insect bites.
As a nerve agent St John's Wort s widely used as a remedy for the nervous system to treat mild depression. Rudolf Steiner noted that the plant works on the rhythmic systems of the body. It is used in anthroposophic remedies to help the astral body (the vehicle of feelings and consciousness) connect properly with the physical nervous system, which is why it is frequently utilized to treat melancholia, nervous exhaustion, and mood imbalance. The astral body is linked to the Manipura or solar plexus chakra, and Hypericum is an important remedy for treating conditions of the enteric brain or neural gut.
Paracelsus writes: “In St John’s Wort, God has created a special will and a particular arcanum for the human being, whether this person is good or evil. Just like the sun shines on all things, the good and the bad, so does the medicine.” (Vol III, p. 629) St John’s Wort is a special herb, because it presides over the others. The power that God has put into the Perforata is the power that drives out bad spirits and worms and heals wounds, leg fractures and bruises.
St John's Wort has been considered a medicinally valuable plant for over 2000 years. The Greek physicians of the first century, Galen, Dioscorides, Pliny, and Hippocrates, recommended the herb as a diuretic, wound-healing herb, treatment for menstrual disorders, and cure for intestinal worms and snakebites.
Dried flowering tops placed in olive oil caused the oil to turn red after 3 weeks. The ancients believed the plant had mystical qualities, and plants were collected for protection from demons and to drive away evil spirits. In fact, the generic name Hypericum originated from the Greek name for the plant, hyperikon. Literally translated, the name is an amalgamation of the root words "hyper" (meaning over) and "eikon" (meaning image or apparition), referring to the plant’s supposed ability to ward off evil spirits.
Sixteenth-century herbalists including Paracelsus, Gerard, and Culpeper all recommended St John's Wort preparations to treat wounds and alleviate pain. In 1525, Paracelsus recommended it for treating depression, melancholy, and overexcitation. The SJW’s use as a medicinal herb continued in Europe, spreading to other continents, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was commonly made into teas and tinctures for treatment of anxiety, depression, insomnia, water retention, and gastritis. Over the years, vegetable oil preparations have been used for treatment of hemorrhoids and inflammation. Others have used SJW extracts to treat sores, cuts, minor burns, and abrasions, especially those involving nerve damage.
WORKING WITH THE DEVAS OF NATURE TO RESTORE DIVINE RIGHT ORDER AND HARMONY
During my 6 years of devotion to this path I have journeyed, studied, and created with over 20 different plant devas. All of them appeared at moments in my journey when important internal processes and shifts was initiated in my soul and unexplored aspects of my psyche started speaking to me. My inner mystery gradually opened up and revealed itself as I on a daily basis declared my aspiration to live in truth and honour my hearts highest calling. When I moved out to the forest to begin my journey in solitude with the spirits of the land in 2020 I had no idea what was about to unfold for me, I only knew that I needed to live in nature and that the plants had something important to teach me. I had never done a ceremony or worked with the spirits of non-psychoactive plants until that point, but as I followed my inner guidance I discovered that my soul knew how to perform this great work as I have done it in many lifetimes before.
This is my soul's path of evolution, and I believe many more are here at this time to awaken the mystery and medicine of the Great Mother within. through the Green World I have over many lifetimes cultivated co-creative relationships with spirits and devas of nature that never dies. This is why I began remember my true self and heal in greater depths when I started reconnecting with nature again. My relationships with these spirits and angelic beings awoke from their dormancy and the journey into a profound adventure of soul retrieval, ancestral healing, karmic retribution, self-realization, inner liberation, and the revelation of my highest path began to unfold. The Great Mysteries of Life transformed into living art through my creative channel, where I co-create with the great Spirits of Life that are guiding the soul's evolution through each incarnation.
This is a highly mystical and magical journey to embark on, for it unfolds naturally as the greatest revelation of truth that one can experience oneself through. No book or human teacher can reveal the depths of your soul to you. You must discover it for yourself. When we return to The Great Mother Goddess we return to ourselves - She is the Soul and the Wisdom of The World, which we are all an extension of. To know the Mother is to know the Soul, to know the Soul is to know The Mother.
The Mother's medicine is that which helps, guides, and inspire us to restore divine right order and harmony within. She has many faces and forms to teach us through, each of which is a living archetype within the kingdom of the soul. When we become her initiate, student, and disciple we enter into a profound relationship with the Divine Feminine and learn to become a steward of her Eternal Heart. She reveals to us the path of inner liberation, what our unique gifts are, and how to utilize this for the greater good and evolution of Humanity and the world. Unconditional Love as the template of the Christos essence becomes the inner reality through the initiations of the Great Mother.
This a path of great inner transformation, self-realization and reclamation - where we have matured through lifetimes to now step into the process of receiving our initiations from the Divine instead of a human guru or teacher as a middle hand.
We all choose how deep we want to go and what we are ready to meet within ourselves. Our intentions and personal declaration is what fuels and directs our ceremonies and rituals. We never ask for more than what we are ready and capable of learning about, in outmost reverence and gratitude for the love and teachings that are given to us as we begin or deepen our relation with the Divine within our ow hearts and that of Nature, the mother who never stops giving.

We are going to make an amulet with the herb so it's advised to have some dried or fresh plant available.

It is a self-study that invites you to connect with, receive, and develop a unique relationship with this spirit that will awaken and inspire creative action and revelation of an aspect of your own inner mystery and medicine.
✶ HOW TO PREPARE & PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: When ingesting large amounts of St Johns Wort it increases the body's photosensitivity which makes us more sensitive to sunlight. This is why we will be working with the flower essence during this journey and only ingest small or mild doses of the actual herb. Flower essences are great options to work with when one wants to avoid ingesting the herb, because it is pure energy - the vibrational essence of the Spirit, which does not contain the herbal chemistry that effects the physical organism in the same way. I did a 7 day initiation three years ago and had no problem being outside in the sun at all during that time while ingesting smaller amounts of herb.
It is also known that St Johns Wort should be avoided by anyone who is taking allopathic medicines such as antidepressants, birth control and blood thinners, as the herbal medicine influence liver enzymes and alter serotonin levels which knocks out the effects of other medicines and may cause other symptoms. Again, you should be able to work with the flower essence if you're on other medications, however you must make this decision and discern for yourself what is right for you.
It is advised to focus on healthy nourishing living the days leading up to the initiation - avoid unhealthy oils and sugar, eat organic wholefoods, hydrate properly, do a cleanse if possible - I recommend Spirulina and liquid Chlorophyll to purify the blood and detox the body of heavy metals and toxins, take activated charcoal or chlorella before going to bed which helps the body bind and flush out the toxins that are being released. Do this for 14 or 7 days before the journey begins. We want to be clean and open to receive the essence of spirit - doing this will purify your physical vessel, your mind, and emotional body, which enhances your ability to sense and feel the energy and inner guidance with greater clarity. It also signals to spirit that you take it seriously and are willing to do the work necessary to enter into a potent connection and experience.
It is not obligatory, but if this is the first time you enter a plant initiation it is highly recommended.
Pay attention to any symbolic dreams or messages entering your days leading up to the initiation to get a sense of what themes your process or journey might involve. Your inner being will begin communicating with you when you decide to join the journey.

-
1-2 hours of devotional time spent by your altar or outside in nature each day, where you engage with the daily practices and build your relationship with the deva.
