San Juan ritual: health, money and love

May 29, 2020

This year it will be especially important to take advantage of the magical energy that the summer solstice provides us. We are going through a difficult time where we have begun to value health and love more than ever, without neglecting money. It is true that they have always been the three requests par excellence, but this desire is now stronger and more necessary.

The night of San Juan is a pagan tradition where bonfires were lit to provide more strength to the Sun, just at night when it was at its highest point. Thus, they gave the star more energy to prolong its light. This ritual was considered the perfect moment to scare away evil spirits and to break with all the bad things that had happened to them.

Christians adapted this tradition, and today we continue to celebrate this special night . The truth is that during the summer solstice there are powerful planetary energies influencing the Earth .

Around the world the solstice is celebrated, and in all cultures the common element remains the fire and the sun . Jumping bonfires or burning desires to leave behind the bad and make way for the new are the most common magical rituals . Tonight's energy will help us in cleansing and purification rituals, favoring the arrival of new goals and material desires , paving the way for us to achieve them.

From Las Velas de Mariano we consider that it is necessary to refocus on the basics and the essentials, that is why we propose a ritual of Saint John with fire and the Sun as central elements and the 3 basic wishes that we will burn both in candle and in parchment . This ritual can be performed from the arrival of the summer solstice - night of June 20 - until the day of San Juan - June 24 -.
