Canarian Saint John's Eve Rituals: A Night of Dreams and Protection The Canary Islands observe Saint John's Eve with unique traditions, as highlighted in a recent video. These rituals, passed down through generations, involve preparing for sleep with specific actions believed to protect against negative energy and offer insights into the future. One ritual involves placing a glass of salt water by the window, symbolizing the absorption of negative energy. "The salt protects, and the water absorbs," explains the video. Another involves looking into a mirror by candlelight, a practice for self-reflection and seeking answers. Finally, sleeping with herbs under the pillow is said to facilitate insightful dreams. The video concludes with a recommendation for a book, "Harimaguadas Raíz Ancestral," providing further details on these practices. This blend of tradition and spiritual practice offers a unique perspective on the celebration of Saint John's Eve in the Canary Islands.
