You should place seven different kinds of flowers under your pillow on Midsummer’s Eve to dream of your future partner.
It is an old Swedish folk belief.
On Midsummer’s Eve, nature was thought to be especially magical, and flowers were believed to hold a special power. If you picked seven (sometimes nine) different types of flowers in silence and placed them under your pillow, tradition said you would dream of the person you would marry or fall in love with.
In other words, it’s a mix of fertility ritual, love spell, and Midsummer magic – a playful tradition that still lives on today.
According to tradition, it doesn’t really matter exactly which flowers you choose – what’s important is that you pick seven different kinds (or in some regions, nine).
Common flowers often picked on Midsummer’s Eve are:
Oxeye daisy
Harebell
Red clover
Cow parsley
Buttercup
Meadow flowers (similar to daisies)
St. John’s wort
In folklore, the diversity of flowers and the silence while picking them were the most important – you had to collect them in secret, without speaking, or else “the magic would be broken.”
