Over dit e-boek
""Summer Fire Festivals"" explores the widespread phenomenon of midsummer fire celebrations, examining their historical roots and cultural significance across diverse societies. From Nordic bonfires to Japanese fire festivals, these rituals highlight humanity's deep connection to fire, the sun, and seasonal cycles. One intriguing fact is the role fire played in ancient belief systems, often seen as a way to ensure a bountiful harvest or ward off evil spirits. 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.
