Midsummer, or the summer solstice, which is traditionally celebrated on June 24, has always been viewed as a magical time. It is associated with springtime and the growth of new life, fertility and love. It was common to have celebrations involving bonfires at night to drive away evil spirits who are thought to be especially active at this time.
