Build a Bonfire Bonfires were a common practice in olden times, typically held to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. Nowadays it takes on more of a celebratory tone as we gather with friends, tell stories, dance and play. If you’re lucky enough to live near a beach, a bonfire on the beach on the Summer Solstice honors the water element of the sign of Cancer too!
As a small ritual, use the bonfire as a way to let go of something and to release old and unwanted energy. Write down your troubles, regrets, bad habits, anything you want to let go of on a small piece of paper. Then focus on releasing the energy as you toss the paper into the fire, symbolizing release.
