Midnight Sun Fortune-Telling Magic
You’ll need:
- A bonfire
- Any of the following herbs: sage, mugwort, heliotrope, tobacco leaf
- A journal and a pen
In some areas, particularly those in far northern latitudes, June 22nd is celebrated as the day of the midnight sun. It’s the point in the year when there are 24 hours of light, and in a lot of magical traditions this makes it a perfect date to do a bit of magical fortune-telling. You may not live in a place that’s illuminated all day long, but around the time of the summer solstice, you’re getting plenty of sunlight, to do a bit of divination in the hour right before full darkness descends.
As a sunset beyond the horizon, lights your bonfire. Take a moment to get a good blaze going, then toss the herbs into the fire. Close your eyes, and breathe in the fragrance of all the herbs, all of which are associated with divination. Focus on the questions you have about the future, then open your eyes and look into the flames. What do you see? Shapes? Patterns? Figures of people or animals? Write down what you observe so you can remember it later. Once you feel like you’re no longer seeing anything new, allow the fire to go out on its own. Take some time to think about what you’ve seen, and how does images relate to your question.
