Midsummer Madness
June 24 marks Midsummer Day, traditionally a time
ot tire and water rituals Fire, the Sun's symbol, is
associated with many cleansing celebrations, so
summer bontnes are popular In New
England, we burn the blueberry fields
in hopes ot renewing their bounty
Midsummer bonfires are similarly
connected with renewal and fertility
In pagan rituals, the bonfires were
considered necessary for purging
evil Special herbs or salt might be
cast into the bonfires to ward off
witches or bad luck Summer camp
celebrations feature wooden boats decorated with can
dles and flowers and launched onto a lake or stream.
Rituals have the power to reset the terms of
our universe.
