Kupala An ancient Kupala belief proclaims that on the eve of Ivana Kupala
ferns bloom. Prosperity, luck, discernment and power would befall on whoever finds the fern flower.
Villagers would roam through the forests in search of magical herbs
and the elusive fern flower; celebrants would jump over the flames of
bonfires and swim naked.
Love and magic is in the air. Forest nymphs and other magical
creatures come out to play. Unmarried women, signified by garlands on their head will float them downstream seeking foresight
into their fortunes of love. Men hope to capture the flower wreaths in order
to find the one.
