Happy Summer Solstice... the longest day of the year (sort of) and the first day of summer. Also is celebrated as Midsummer's Eve usually with the lighting of a bonfire... here are some pictures I linked too from the web....there is something to a conflagration, even a small fire when I go camping feeds some primal aspect to my psyche. It bonds groups of people and amplifies yet focuses their mysticism and violent inner natures. So beautiful to see yet you can never really join with it without huge sacrifices.
It's a pity we can no longer have these huge fires as part of the rituals of modern life. But I think you need to be a culture that understands these traditions, like in Northern Europe or a small of enough community of people to empathize with one another so that the rituals evoked do not go overboard. In American large cities people light fires in riots or to celebrate a basketball victory (and turn over someone's car while their in it ). Unfortunately we have whole aspects to our cultural that are to immature to be playing with fire.
