🌿 Celebrating Ivan Kupala · Magic, Rain & Flower Crowns in Belarus

Come with me to celebrate Ivan Kupala — the most magical summer night of the year. 🌙This ancient Slavic holiday is all about fire, water, flower crowns, and one very special fern flower that blooms only at midnight. In this vlog, I'm taking you to Sula — a place where history comes alive, with drakar boats, pagan temples, Baba Yaga's house on chicken legs, and a bonfire you jump over holding hands. We made a flower crown (barely!), ate tarkavanka from the oven, got caught in a downpour at the perfect moment, floated our wreath on the water, and waited for darkness and the magic of Kupala night.This is Belarus like you've never seen it — cozy, messy, rainy, and full of wonder. ✨ Welcome to RinaNook - cozy moments, handmade things and one very opinionated ginger cat from Eastern Europe 🍂 🧵 Small moments & daily life: @rinanookvlog (Threads) 🎵 Music: "Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under CC BY 4.0 → https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
