happy Midsummer, everyone!!


Hauskaa Juhannusta, happy Midsummer! Have fun, don't burn yourself in bonfires, and don't forget to do Midsummer spells! ;-)

Haha, Midsummer is definitely my favorite pagan holiday in Finnish calendar! I love bonfires, midnight sun, all the spells, and the idea of ghosts wandering the earth upon the solar solstice. Also, keep your eyes open for will-o'-wisps tonight -- those mark hidden treasures (most likely buried troll or goblin gold) and Midsummer midnight is the only chance for a mortal to dig the treasures up (just be careful, goblins are nasty bastards, so get ready to run fast!). I'll spend this Mittumaari with my sister & her family, and I think we'll have fun - bonfires, BBQ and so on, and even the weather seems great. Lovely.

xxo

yours truly-
