The Magic Nature at Summer Solstice

June 21st, 2013 by Tobias


Previously it was believed that nature is magical in the midsummer eve (the night between Friday and Saturday). Dancing elves and trolls were behind the trees. Moreover, it was said that the morning dew could heal sick animals and humans. Therefore, we collected some dew in a bottle. This was also used for baking, the bread and buns which were large and delicious, it was believed. Similar is also still practiced in Lithafest, which has no relation to the UK.

Seven Flowers: Unmarried girls to pick at night seven varieties of wild flowers of seven different fields, which they then put under her pillow. Then they should according to the legend of the dream, she will marry someday. But you must be absolutely still while picking and the next day she must not tell anyone, from whom they have dreamed, otherwise the dream will not come true.
