Traditional French summer solstice festivities are linked to Saint Jean (John the Baptist), celebrated on the 24th of June. Customs declined in the 20th century but are still alive in some places. Fires lit on the occasion may have their origin in bringing prosperous harvests.
Bonfires are lit, with dances sometimes going on all night long. Specifics depend on the area but it's customary to jump above the fire, especially for young people, the celebration being linked to youth and life.
There are references to ashes from the bonfires being used to enrich the soil. A charcoal taken from such a fire and placed inside the house is told to keep it safe from lightning and fire.
Certain flowers are picked on the 24th. John's wort is the typical plant associated with that feast but other plants with healing properties are gathered. They are said to be most potent when picked at this time when the sun shines the longest, and to keep their potency all year long. Bouquets are also left to dry and protect the house.

How do we find back to our roots?
Short clip of German ethno-botanist and author Wolf-Dieter Storl where he talks about the importance of ancestors and the influence of a specific environment on a culture or people.
When he talks about "forest people" he specifically means Teutonic, Celtic, Slavic and Baltic tribes, amongst others, regarding the northern hemisphere. He writes about that in his books.

Wie finden wir zu unseren Wurzeln zurück?
Über die Vorstellungen und das Verständnis der Welt der ersten Menschen können wir Schlüsse ziehen aus dem, wie die Naturmenschen, also die naturnahen Völker es erleben.
Die letzten Jäger und Sammler. Sie sind so nah mit dem Naturgeschehen verwoben, dass…

Here is what I say to invoke the spirits I want to aid me in my rune draw. The first is for Elder Futhark runes, the second is for animistic animal wights and an animal divination set I’m excited to begin working with!
Remember, dogma is designed to stop you connecting and using your own intuitive agency. Do what feels right for you. You can let these words inspire you to come up with your own, you can use them as is if they feel right to you, or you can do something completely different! Your spiritual experience is your own!
Oakwise invocation to the Norns to invite their hand in Futhark divination:
Ladies who do weave my Wyrd,
standing at the Well of Urd,
look inside and please do see
what the future has in store for me.
And my invocation to animistic wights for an animal rune divination set:
Diana’s children, Eostre’s friends
in field and thicket, wood and fen,
of the ponds and tops of trees,
what message do you have for me?

Gothicism or Gothism was a cultural movement in Sweden, centered on the belief in the glory of the Swedish Geats, who were identified with the Goths.
At the very beginning of the Romantic era, and the Enlightenment we began to become racially conscious again. (supposing we ever stopped being so during the Christian era)
It did not take decades, or centuries.
Despite over 1700 years of anti-racial genocidal Christian brainwashing, it did not destroy our racial consciousness.
Our racial consciousness is the fabric of our being, yet we're told race means nothing.
Never apologize for being racially conscious, White man.
NEVER apologize for following the will of tribalism, of nature, of OUR nature.
YOU ARE NOT A CRIME
YOUR LOVE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR PEOPLE IS NOT A CRIME
