We are celebrating midnight summer's eve here in Finland and the rest of Northern Europe right now. It's the one day of the year when the sun doesn't set at all during the whole 24 hour period. You can even read inside without having to keep any lights on at 2AM. Of course, most finns choose to celebrate this very special night by getting totally drunk on booze and ending up fighting each other with knives on the yard, but that's another story. Huge bonfires are a common sight all over Scandinavia during this night.



Traditionally, a lot of magical things have been linked with this evening. The planets apparently line up just in the correct order and the whole Nordic area is vibrating with mystic phenomenons. The old spirits of our ancestors roam free on Earth and we may even encounter with talking animals in the woods. This has also been the most potential season to find yourself a loved one for centuries, maybe since the start of all time.



For instance, the old legends say that if youngsters go over to a wheat field during midnight, cross the whole field by running across it without wearing any clothes and perform additional old rites afterwards it, they will be rewarded by being able to see the face of their true loved one in a successive dream once they go to sleep. So I figured I could try all of that this year - it was an interesting experience all in all for sure - but for my bitter disappointment this turnt out to be the face that I ended up having a vision of:

So the wheat field thing worked?

Well, I hope at least I could try to convince him to wear sexy lingerie in bed. Maybe.

How about if I subsitute the wheat field for a vacant lot or street block, could I do that naked to find my true lover?
