During the Celebration of the Midsummer Night people would build bonfires. Some of the bonfires would have "bones" thrown into them to burn. They would also dance around the bonfires and feast. Some people would pick flowers, mainly roses, and if they lasted till Christmas Day then it would be considered a sign of good fortune. Lovers often leapt over the bonfire hand in hand, which was believed to bring them good luck - and those who desired a certain partner often performed love rites or special spells designed to bring them their desires. One of the love rights was that if a maiden didn't eat on Midsummer Eve then set a table with a white tablecloth, placing on it bread, cheese and beer, the man she would (eventually) marry or his ghost would come and have supper with her.
