It was a beautiful Midsummer with these lovelies
And then you had that dream again.

St. Hans bonfire, N/D
Oil on canvas, 35,7 x 35 cm
[Image description: oil painting of a giant bonfire and huge plume of smoke near a river in the mountains, with a whole village of people in traditional outfits dancing and watching. There are other bonfires smoking on the distant hillsides, and a twilight dimness is on the scenery, creating a high contrast with the tall vibrant flames. End description.]

Herbs (Midsummer)
“Fern grows in cool damp sheltered places. Tradition says that if a person collected the seeds of the Fern at 12 midnight on midsummer’s night he would be able to conquer the world. He would have to draw a circle round the fern inside of which he would have to place seven Pewter plates. Then when the clock struck twelve he would have to repeat the following words seven times, acracadabra, wil hocum pocum, after which a fierce foramaun of wind would sweep around the place and the devil would appear in all shapes and forms, endeavouring to put the person off from collecting the seed, and unless he was a very brave man the devil would succeed in drawing him off…” - Baile Ruadh | Co.

- Oberon, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Escaping for an evening to the island we sang, drank, and made merry on the rocks and waves. It is a custom to carry home a coal of the Midsummer bonfire for luck. All of this week I have held close the warmth and friendship from the fire we tended, and I feel lucky indeed.
Midsummer
“When the shades of late, late evening came closely sifting down on midsummer night, the boys began gathering from the glens and the dales, wending their way in twos and threes and half-dozens to the top of Knockdiara Hill, everyone bringing with him as much as he could drag of whins, brasna, limbs of trees, bogfir, turf or broken boxes. And after these toiling groups came bands of merry girls, some shawled, some unshawled, who made the evening ring with laughter. And, finally, the old men and wiseheads of the countryside followed, stepping soberly and chatting gravely, reaching the crown of the hill when the immense heap of firing had [been lit?]…” - Transcription 20th-1-1938.

The world is full of painful stories. Sometimes it seems as though there aren't any other kind, and yet I found myself thinking how beautiful that glint of water was through the trees.

Prayer of the Gnomes
Roi invisible, qui avez pris la terre pour appui et qui en avez creusé les abîmes pour les remplir de votre toute puissance; vous dont le nom fait trembler les voûtes du monde, vous qui faites couler les sept métaux dans les veines de la pierre, monarque des sept lumières, rémunérateur des ouvriers souterrains, amenez-nous à l'air désirable et au royaume de la clarté. Nous veillons et nous travaillons sans relâche, nous cherchons et nous espérons, par les douze pierres de la cité sainte, par les talismans qui sont enfouis, par le clou d'aimant qui traverse le centre du monde. Seigneur, Seigneur, Seigneur, ayez pitié de ceux qui souffrent, élargissez nos poitrines, dégagez et élevez nos têtes, agrandissez-nous. Ô stabilité et mouvement, ô jour enveloppé de nuit, ô obscurité voilée de lumière! Ô maître, qui ne retenez jamais par devers vous le salaire de vos travailleurs! Ô blancheur argentine, ô splendeur dorée! Ô couronne de diamants vivants et mélodieux! Vous qui portez le ciel à votre doigt comme une bague de saphir, vous qui cachez sous la terre dans le royaume des pierreries la semence merveilleuse des étoiles, vivez, régnez et soyez l'éternel dispensateur des richesses dont vous nous avez fait les gardiens. Amen.
O Invisible King who, taking the earth for foundation, didst hollow its depths to fill them with Thy almighty power. Thou whose name shaketh the arches of the world! Thou who causest the Seven Metals to flow through the veins of the rocks! King of the Seven Lights! Rewarder of the subterranean workers! Lead us into the desirable Air and into the Realm of Splendor. We watch and we labor unceasingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the Holy City, by the buried talismans, by the Axis of the Lodestone which passes through the center of the Earth. O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! Have pity upon those who suffer. Expand our hearts, detach and upraise our minds, enlarge our natures. O stability and motion! O darkness veiled in brilliance! O day clothed in night! O Master who never dost withhold the wages of Thy workmen! O silver whiteness! O golden splendor! O crown of living and melodious diamond! Thou who wearest the Heavens on Thy finger like a ring of sapphire! Thou who hidest beneath the Earth in the Kingdom of Gems, the marvelous seed of the stars! Live, reign, and be Thou the eternal dispenser of the treasures whereof Thou hast made us the warders! Amen.
— Eliphas Levi, ‘Oraison Des Gnomes’, Dogmes et Rituels de la Haute Magie, unknown translator (via Dr. Al Cummins)
