It's Midsummer!


It is believed that it is today that various grasses and herbs have the greatest healing power, especially at sunrise. Therefore, it is best to pick them early in the morning, before sunrise, and remember that the herbs must be "77 and a half" — for all diseases and for the "nameless disease".
Superstitions say that on this day the energy of the Sun is at its most powerful and is magically transmitted to water and healing herbs. Therefore, the main rituals today are welcoming the sunrise, bathing in the dew or the nearby river, picking herbs and weaving wreaths and wristbands. ????????????
