    MIDSOMMARSTÅNG: the Midsommarstång is a traditional Swedish maypole erected during Midsummer celebrations to represent fertility & Soring. There were many variations of maypoles all throughout Europe, but the most popular in Sweden nowadays is the cross with the two rings. It is also the maypole represented in Midsommar. It is common for children or young maidens to dance in various known movements & gestures around the pole, some of which are based off everyday tasks like folding laundry or washing oneself. Sometimes, the Små grodorna (“the little frogs”) is performed around the pole by the children, as well. The pole is often made of wood, fresh, leaves, & sometimes flowers & ribbons to symbolize Spring, fertility of the land, & to honor the trees.

    Place your Midsommarstång on your altar or window sill to let the sun shine through the rings during the Summer Solstice. Add ribbons to the rings & use it as a functional table top May pole!


    MAJ DROTTNING DOCKA: The docka (Swedish for “doll” or “poppet”) is based on Dani’s character & her transition into becoming the Maj drottning (Swedish for “May Queen”). Doused in a gown of floras & an extraordinarily large flower crown, she is overcome with self-realization & realization of the natural world, & becomes the maiden that ushers the sun to its highest peak, the erection of the trees, & blossoming of the flowers. The May Queen in many cultures represents growth, fertility, vitality, & youthfulness. In some European traditions, she represents the Fairy Queen from the realm of the Fae

    Each one is made to order & may have slight variations from the photos, including placement & color of flowers.


    *Although these items are based on Pagan traditions that have been celebrated by various cultures for centuries, they are deeply inspired by the movie Midsommar by Ari Aster.
