The Night of San Juan is a very old festivity in which the arrival of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is celebrated, whose main rite consists of light a bonfire The purpose of this rite was “to give more strength to the sun”, which from those days onwards became “weaker” – the days are getting shorter until the winter solstice. Metaphorically, the fire also had a “purifying” function in the people who contemplated it.
The roots of the celebration of the Night of San Juan are lost in time. Our ancestors believed that the Sun was in love with the Earth and was reluctant to leave it. And for this reason he began celebrated on the last night of spring, around June 24, which is the shortest of the year. Added to this was the superstition that this day was the ideal day to drive away evil spirits and attract good ones, as well as to cast love and fertility spells.
take care of your mind
San Juan is a night of rituals and witches, but what really matters is your mind. What really changes your life is the power of your mind, no matter how you focus it, have faith in what you do: be it a ritual, a meditation, a prayer…
An example of a ritual to practice in San Juan
Prepare a quiet space where no one will disturb you. Prepare music to dance, candles and aromas, be it incense or essences. Once prepared, you leave this space to take a bath or shower. Don’t be in a hurry, take a slow bath. Enjoy the aroma, use a soap or foam that you really like and enjoy its smell and touch, run your hand over your skin, caress it, feel it. Let the water that runs through your skin take away your worries. Visualize each worry as a dark spot and watch as the water washes it away. Visualize how the water takes away your darkness. You are not only cleansing your skin, you are also cleansing your mind and soul. Each time, you feel lighter of loads. Enjoy the moment.When you finish, close your eyes and visualize yourself luminous, full of light. Next, moisturize your skin with oil or cream with the essences that you like.
