Ok,.I have to start my answer with another superstition: that elves/fairies really exist, that they inhabit a world of their own. and that there's a physical "gateway" or "door" between their world and our own. Find the door, pass through it, and you will step into the other world. There's only the one door, and it is very hard to find (in our world at least) BECAUSE IT MOVES ABOUT. And it moves from one location to another on Midsummer's night...
PS: The Faeries' world is where the dragons have gone to.
PPS: next Midsummer's, the door could open somewhere in YOUR neighbourhood....
One superstition about Midsummer's night is that it is a time when the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds is thin, making it a prime time for supernatural occurrences. Another superstition is that rolling naked in the morning dew on Midsummer's Eve can bring luck and enhance fertility. Additionally, it is believed that herbs picked on Midsummer's night possess powerful healing properties and protective qualities.
