Midsummer Day—June 24
Although Midsummer Day occurs near the summer solstice, or what we think of as the beginning of summer, to the farmer it is the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvesting, and an occasion for celebration.
Midsummer Eve (June 23) is considered sacred to lovers. On this evening, pick seven different wildflowers and then walk home silently and backward. Place the flowers under your pillow and dream of your future husband or wife.
In the ancient Celtic calendar, Midsummer Day was a “Quarter Day,” one of the days that marked the four major divisions of the year
