“On Midsummer Night, the sorcerer goes to the stone of the rapids, pours himself with the rapids’ water and says a spell. Then, when he has poured himself three times, he pours silver into the rapids and bows three times, and then nature is harsh when he curses something.” – Toarie Ohvolasjovna; heard from her father.
