Which sacred herb is known as ‘herb of the Sun’ and why was it never cut with iron tools?

St. John’s Wort is widely recognized as a sacred “herb of the Sun” in magical traditions. This bright yellow flowering plant reaches its peak bloom around the summer solstice, aligning with the sun’s zenith.

Magically, St. John’s Wort is associated with dispelling negativity, protecting the home, and warding off illness. It’s also known for its mood-elevating properties and ability to promote vitality, confidence, and success – qualities linked to solar energy.

The prohibition against using iron tools reflects a broader magical philosophy of working with nature’s innate energies rather than imposing artificial changes.

For herbs like St. John’s Wort, harvesting by hand or with non-iron tools would preserve its solar essence and magical potency in its most pure, unaltered state.
