On Kupała evening, a beautifully dressed girl left the house.
She walks around the village and thinks: where are the boys?
There are no boys and there will be none. To hell with them.

On Kupała night, the longest night of the year, girls make daisy chains from aphrodisiacs and throw them into rivers. There are dances around the fire and singing. Couples go into the forest, looking for the magic fern flower. Non-marital sex is allowed and a part of the sacred tradition. It is a celebration of sexuality, fertility, life, and love.
