its a celebration of the summer solstice, signifying the peak of summer. a lot of rituals are performed, most of them related to the ancient kupalo rites. kupalo was a god in slavic myth. he was exploring the sea with his sister until he got drawn away by singing of the sirin. https://t.co/kIUMgABQvC

Loved today's @BacklistedPod live solstice celebration. Replying to someone who asked if Andy, Nick or John would ever write fiction, Andy said, "I still don't really know how the trick's done." That wonder and enthusiasm is exactly what makes Backlisted so special. Thank you! https://t.co/bITWhM9Hna
