"However you spent your weekend, it’s probably safe to say that it didn’t include disguising youself as a bush, sneaking up on unsuspecting women, and dunking them in a nearby well.
Unless you happen to live in the Swiss village of Ettingen, where people did exactly that. It’s all part of a fertility custom so quirky that even most Swiss people haven’t heard of it: Men cover their bodies in beech brushwood, simulating fauns and forest spirits, before chasing random women on the street, picking them up, and subsequently dipping them into fountain wells."
