#FairyTaleTuesday 🌞🌼🌺 On St. John's Eve, German folklore tells of witches gathering on Brocken Mountain beneath the solstice moon to dance and work their magic. 🔮 In Slavic tradition, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia celebrate Kupala Night, when witches, spirits, and enchantments are said to roam sacred forests and hills as the veil between worlds grows thin. 🌲🔥 Both traditions hold that St. John's wort, gathered at midsummer, protects against witchcraft and ill fortune. 🌼✨ 📚 Sources: James G.
