Midsummer is held on the second full moon after Beltane (usually the full moon in June). It can also be called Fae Day. It is a more subdued holiday as this is when respect is given to those fae one has allied with as well as honoring the Fae in general. Aid is given and received between humans and fae on this day, and Midsummer is a good day to form new alliances with fae. Gifts are left for the fae. Good gifts are sweet desserts for food, wine for drink, and stories and tales. Food for the feast should include fae favorites such as milk, honey, and sweets. A good symbol of Midsummer is the herb eyebright, as this herb assists one in being able to see the Fae. Good colors for Midsummer are blues and yellows and an optimal time to celebrate is evening or early night, as this is when the Fae like to show themselves. |
