In Poland, KUPALA NIGHT - Eve of Saint John’s (Noc Świętojańska) blends ancient Slavic midsummer rites with Christian tradition. Celebrated on the shortest night of the year, it honors fire, water, and love - marked by bonfires, floating flower wreaths, and folklore about magic ferns. A night where nature, myth, and community meet.

Happy Summer Solstice! (June 21st 2026)

This day of days marks the point when our regal death star is at its furthest point from the equator, delivering unto us the longest span of sunshine and the briefest night we’ll see all year.

suffering every day when remembering how little we know about ancient slavs since the christians have purged so much, yet the glimpses that survived allow us to see a freer, queerer culture that we will never be able to fully know ​

Another amazing art from PannaN 🥺🥺💖💖  

"Roses and cherry trees! Silesian girl and Japanese girl in Furisode. 🥰🌈✨🌹🌸

Roses are very important in Silesian art and culture - i think I can call it Silesian flower."
