Kupala Night: A Vibrant Slavic Holiday and Its Magical Rituals

BY LENA LENARD

upala Night begins with lighting the “holy fires” in forest clearings as well as on the banks of rivers and lakes. Participants strike fire from ash, birch, or oakwood. In sacred places, they drive birch pegs into the ground and place ash hubs on them—that is, wheels with spokes wrapped in tarred straw. They spin the wheels so fast that the friction causes them to burn. They roll the burning wheels to nearby piles of wood and straw—symbols of home and hearth—and flames burst into the sky, sparking and roaring, symbolizing a new, clean home and hearth. At the same time, there’s singing and dancing. Women collect magical herbs and flowers. They weave wreaths and gird themselves with wormwood.

It’s a night of celebration and erotic awakening, with all-night revelries among the smoke of bonfires and the intoxicating smells of a summer night outdoors. In the past, marriages were arranged by the head or the elders of the family and matchmakers… but for the young women who had not yet been engaged and wanted to avoid the usual form of mating, here, among the flame and flowers, was a chance to win a loved one. A boy might even “kidnap” a dancing girl from around the fire and try to woo her.

and ofc, i couldnt not also request "love is being stupid together" :3c

“Lenn” or “Leno” would be more effective translations, but a little too on the nose, and “Lennan” is too likely to be mispronounced. “Lenard” and “Lenhart” are reasonably effective, but given their old-fashioned natures are both too likely to end up shortened to “Len” and then they’d be right back to being too on the nose again. 

. . . hm. Though, if he wants to name it after Lena and simultaneously encourage Superman just assuming where he got the name and not actually asking . . .
