DESCRIPTION: This video was shot in Rauma (Finland) during the celebration of Midsummer's Eve which is from ancient times a festival of the summer solstice. Some people believed that golden-flowered mid-summer plants, especially Calendula, and St. John's Wort, had miraculous healing powers and they therefore picked them on this night. Bonfires were lit to protect against evil spirits which were believed to roam freely when the sun was turning southward again. Witches were also thought to be on their way to meetings with other powerful beings. The Spookfish thespookfish.com thespookfish.bandcamp.com
