¡NO HAGAS estos RITUALES! | Peligros de la noche de San Juan.

Midsummer's Eve is known as a night for cleansing, asking, letting go, and starting anew. A glass of water on the windowsill. A lit candle. A piece of paper with a name written on it. The sea at midnight. A fig tree in the darkness. A path of burning embers. For many, these are just traditions. Customs inherited from grandmothers, neighbors, relatives… or rituals that circulate online today as if they were harmless. But what happens when something goes wrong? In this episode of Don't Look Out the Window, you'll hear five stories inspired by Midsummer's Eve rituals, beliefs, and traditions in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Chile, Paraguay, and Latino communities in the United States. Stories of people who did something seemingly innocuous… and then felt that their home, their body, or their destiny was never the same. Because some doors can't be opened with keys. Sometimes they're opened with water. With fire. With a half-spoken prayer. Or with a name written on a piece of paper. Have you ever done a cleansing ritual, lit a candle, burned a piece of paper, or made a wish on a special date… and then felt something change? I'll read your comments. And for the love of God… Don't look out the window.
