A historic home gently bathed in sunlight belies the magic and pranks to ensue during the Summer Solstice in Dan Campanelli’s “Mid-Summer’s Day.” Campanelli, famous for his historically accurate renderings of 19th-century buildings, was a practitioner of the earth-based religion, Wicca. Followers of this religion consider Mid-Summer as their most important holiday. It is said that during Mid-Summer’s Eve, witches, sprites and other magical creatures freely roam the earth engaging in various hijinks. Campanelli and his wife, who was also a Wiccan, playfully referred to their own home as the Flying Witch Farm.
