From Nordic bonfires to Japanese fire festivals, these rituals highlight humanity's deep connection to fire, the sun, and seasonal cycles.

The book uniquely adopts a global perspective, comparing traditions to reveal both shared elements and unique characteristics. Organized thematically, the book progresses from establishing the historical context of midsummer as a liminal time to exploring case studies from around the world. By drawing upon historical sources, folklore, and ethnographic studies, it analyzes the common threads connecting these events, such as the symbolism of fire and light, while also acknowledging variations in how these fire rituals are expressed. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the universal appeal and enduring significance of these cultural rituals and traditions.
