La Noche de San Juan

kaoticwordsLegends tell that the Night of San Juan (the night from 23 to 24 of June) the doors of the other world are open, as in Halloween.
Fairies, sprites and all kinds of spirits can cross the line that divides both realities. It's told that poisonous plants lose their menace and the good ones double their qualities. It's a good night to make predictions and spells 'cause the magical atmosphere is everywhere.
In Spain it's common practice to jump through a bonfire to burn the bad experiences of the year and as a prayer to get protection from the gods. Usually the bonfires are lighted on the beach but lately you can find them even in the cities with no coast, in parks.
This is the first year I'm going to celebrate this festivity as it should be: in a park, with fire, a group of celtic music and friends. I'll burn an old amulet and I hope to get a good omen for the rest of the year :)
My very best wishes for all of you, f-list!
