I'd like to add a word of caution as an affected person myself: don't consume st. john's wort when you are taking antidepressants! It might cause Serotonin Syndrome :)
I can only agree, whilst I’ve never suffered from depression nor taken anti depressants I did for a spell (many years ago) take St John’s wort supplement as it was recommended by a friend to help relieve period pains, I only took them for around 10 days but had to stop as they were making me suffer with “tremors” never suffered before or since so yes anyone reading this please be careful xx
@@sarab2324 you're welcome :) I'm on zoloft :) I also have to be careful with grapefruit - maybe check the information leaflet of your meds for this and other interactions. I had to be told by my friends and a nice pharmacist, first, too!
@@sarab2324 You're very welcome :) I also can't have Grapefruit...it's all in the leaflet of the packaging but friends had to point out to me to read it :)
It will just be two of us and we won't have a bonfire per se, but we're going to go to a local park and grill some food and enjoy nature for our Midsummer 💛
Our midsummer will.include about 12 of us. There will be lots seafood and dishes made with strawberry because this solstice falls on the strawberry moon. We meditate, pull cards, share poetry and have a bon fire. There is wine for those who desire.
Be careful with the seafood if you're in the U.S. Oysters, clams, and other shellfish from several places in Oregon, Washington, and California have poisoned people this month after being affected by a red tide.
A caution with st John's wort it is a blood thinner so don't take in if you are having a surgery soon my mother friend almost died cause she didn't tell her doctor she was on it.
I was born on Midsummer on a Sunday at 10:10 am. Just in time for Brunch. I have a very summer Sunday-brunchie vibe about me. It’s one of the things I like best about me. I also rock a beautiful flower crown. Because of this video, I’m definitely going to make a flower crown and wear it the entire day! I’m so excited. Thank you ❤
Wow! I absolutely love this video and your simple examplenations helped so much! 🌞🌷🧚♀️ The whole video was magically colorful and the plants were so beautiful, it made me feel like I was there too very beautiful mid summer scenery. 🌿 I can't wait to make my flower crown and jump over my litha bonfire!! 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you so much this video helped me so much and not just on the beautiful scenery but also helps me to plan my Litha Ritual. Im super grateful for this video 💖💖💖
I really enjoy your videos, they are so interesting and you present them in the most wonderful, interesting way. Thank you. Pssst! I am not comfortable with people either. 😊
❤ I'm a third. Generation which my great-grandmother and myself are witches.I live in virginia United states. I'm not too sure.If it's the same, but what does chick weed is used in U k. I would love to get your advice on what it's used for my grandmother said something that I just don't understand what she's saying she says good for stomach problems and call me calming and relaxing. In your next video, it would be great if you could give us more of a detail on the herbs.What they're meant for I would really like that very much.Or you could respond to my question at a later date.You take care and have a blessed day.May the goddess what's over you always. 🧹💐🐝🌺🌼🌿🍃🌱🥰
Chickweed can be eaten. Some people are allergic to it though. It's usually put in a salad just because it's edible, not for medicinal purposes. There are claims It's good for stomach trouble and constipation.
Ohhhh the Fae are working overtime in my garden this year! Soooo many Volunteers! Redoing my wards for the house tomorrow before Litha. The Dead like us too much, I'd rather just have our family visit. So excited for Litha!
I was raised and still live in the United States my Momma and I when I was little used to make clovers crowns with the little white flowers on them I also used to wear flower crowns 👑 with different color ribbons hang down from them.❤ great childhood memories 😊
The herbs and wildflowers are all behind here, the weather has been unusually cold. The St Johns Wort and Yarrow haven't flowered yet, and the Elder has only just come out.
In Norway we celebrate Midsummer on the 23rd, so I might have 2 celebrations. One the day the sun turns, and one on our Midsummer. Here the old tradion is for a young girl to pick 7 different flowers and jump over 7 fence-gates. And then put the flowers under your pillow, and you will dream of your future husband. We don't have midnight-sun where I live in Norway, but the nights at this time of year are bright. On the 20th the sun sets at 12.49 pm and rises in the next morning at 03.05 am. We had the tradition to attend the arrangement at our lokal Museum with dance and bonfire when the children were young. This year we will be at our summer house at the coast where I have my herbal garden. In later years my husband and I have usually been there.

I do love how you styled your hair in the explanation video.
Lovely❤
A beautiful video! Looking forward to a Summer Solstice ritual this weekend! 🎉❤
so charming!
What a good timing - just watched your older Midsummer videos literally an hour ago and was wondering when another one is gonna come :) thank you!!
Most of my favorite people are dogs but I could probably find a couple of hoomans to invite so long as there’s food. 😂
I'd go. ❤
A caution with st John's wort it is a blood thinner so don't take in if you are having a surgery soon my mother friend almost died cause she didn't tell her doctor she was on it.
also can be dangerous if you take antidepressants already! please check medication interactions whenever taking an herb!!

Magic is one of 4 lethal energy's 😮 enjoy Jesus energy wash starting ❤
Could Litha also be Lilith. The church demonized women and goddess worship.
This is an eerily similar name.
🌬️💙🌀
See I wondered that too
May you have a wonderful midsummer solstice everyone blessed be to you all
I adore the wreath! Thank you for your channel... You're one of my favourite witches ❤

I'll celebrate with my canine friends and the birds and insects, animals, plants and trees stars and clouds etc in Devon
I’m in Devon too! Ive not had much luck finding witchy pagan friends here. I shall probably be doing the same as you
Wonderful video, Ginny 😊☀🌞
