Here's the Taivaannaula video I mentioned: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJN_tdmhhrSqnpM.html Great channel and website in general for Finnish folklore and tradition! This was a lighter episode this time and relatively quickly put together. That's why the music is too loud. Well, these things happen sometimes. Happy Midsummer.

Latviasta tunnetaan keksikesän juhlintaan liittyen tapa, jonka mukaan juhannusyönä "jokainen nainen on neito" eli naimaton. Toisin sanoen jokainen nainen on vapaa avioliiton rajoitteista, ja juhannusyönä oli lupa mennä ja rakastella kenen kanssa mieli teki. Tällä on kenties haluttu turvata myös hedelmättömien aviomiesten vaimojen mahdollisuus lapsensaantiin.

Mielenkiintoista! Sopii hyvin käsitykseeni suomalaisenkin juhannuksen eroottisesta luonteesta. Kiitos valistamisesta.

Here’s a couple of midsummer traditions I used to do, when I tired to find out who my future husband is: 1. Collect 7 different flowers and place them under your pillow on midsummer eve and then you will see your future spouse in your dreams when you sleep on them. 2. Dance around a well 7 times and look at the reflection on the water and you will see your future partner. I recently found out Swedes and Danes have similar traditions, so I’m not sure where these “spells” originate from.

@Anttimation

The first one I think is still quite common! And to the second we could add that if you see your current partner in the well, they've already drowned 🤔

I don't live somewhere that you can do bonfires, although that would be fun. I have an Ukonvasara that I recently put in my car to hang in the window for Midsommar. All I can do. I think ancient Finns would have had a level of fun in their rituals despite the hard times. Just my opinion ❤

I think its the same with anything, some thought the rituals had power and most went along mindless. In this capitalistic world every weekend has sort of become Juhannus...before the dreaded workweek. Id be interested to know were there any athiest minded "trolls" back then who thought the rituals were stupid, i am guessing a member of a town maybe had to take part in them to some extent...they were very tight communities who relied on eachother to survive. Love the videos!

Ukko won't let go of his party that easily, even if it needs to happen under someone else's name. That being said, John the Baptist might wonder why he is celebrated by drinking booze and burning bonfires.

Drinking alcohole isint a sin, drunkness is a sin. And bonfires and fire, gose far back as the old testament. if Fire was just pagan alone, the whos paganism is the true Bonfire?

@herrakaarme

@@thatwhitewolf5222 Considering bonfires, the elements seem to clash. If John the Baptist is known for the ritual of baptism, which is performed with water, then bonfires, which are all about fire, the element opposite to water, doesn't seem fitting. Juhannus has traditionally had quite a lot of drinking in excess.

I was worshiping Satan at metal festivals but hail Ukko as well! I didn't do any spell-casting other than heavy drinking but I did see my potential partner as I went there with her!
