Love and light to you. What an interesting article, these practices are new to me! Although a Druid told a large group how wonderful it was to roll naked in the Dew of Midsummer morning! Thank you

Thank you. Love and light to you too. Happy to hear that you enjoyed learning about this custom. I can imagine how invigorated the Druid must have felt after that! The average person bathes their face for a youthful complexion but he obviously wanted a full body upgrade. Thank you for sharing that, The image that has been conjured up in my brain is extremely funny!

Thank you, and Midsummer blessings to you too. That will be lovely to make some St John's Water for yourself. It is a beautiful thing to be engaged all year round in a healing ritual of the land. The wonderful part about working outside every day is that you get the chance to notice the subtle shifts of nature's ways as her wheel turns. That's magic x x

Oh absolutely, my eye has become more and more accustomed to it, and there's something very magical about being alone working in a nice garden in midwinter too, i always look forward to it 😊but this week I will begin to gather a few cuttings for the magical midsummer water β›² xx

Thanks for this, Elissa. I'll tuck the info away and add it to my seasonal traditions for the summer solstice in 6 months' time.

That's great to hear. I look forward to seeing what beautiful herbs and flowers you gather where you live. It would be lovely if you can share photos of that with your community too.
