Whether Midsummer is an ancient festival or not, people have been celebrating it in Britain since at least the late 14th century. It's a time of divination for the remainder of the year, summer parades and bonfires, casting spells, and community celebrations.
This talk by Icy Sedwick will explore the history of summer solstice celebrations, the plants associated with Midsummer, the long-running link with fire, and the magic most often discussed at this time of year - including love magic!
