Lugh was the first pagan deity I worked with so Lughnasadh is an important sabbat to me. My yearly ritual is to take bread, berries, and wine or beer up the hill into the woods near my home and sit with Lugh, showing gratitude for everything I can think of while sharing the meal with him. I even have a short song I sing to honor him. At the end, I ask for his blessing and continued support.
My beloved dog, whom passed away recently was named after Lugh as I adopted him 15 years ago from the local Shelter on August 1st! His name was Kingston Llugh. 👑❤🌞💕
I have started to explore my Irish pagan heritage and videos like this are very informative and helpful.I enjoyed it so much I subscribed to your channel.Thank you
Thank you again, Ginny. I’m not sure how to get my hands on grainstalks. Again. Usually I come across a few leading up to Lughnasadh but not enough to make a dolly. I think I’ll complement with some not yet harvested lavender. I’ll harvest my early potatoes and bake bread and applepie and maybe a flan with plum and blackberries. My neighbours will be pleased :) In any case I’m spending this week in my garden!
Wonderful! I wish for you the most beautiful Lammas celebration. May the fae be near to you and help you, may your harvest be bountiful and your autumn be full of all your favorite things of this season! I will be having what's called a dumb supper for the fae and ancestors, where I make an item baked with grain and set it out for the fae and ancestors, along with some of my garden veg and a tea made of mint from my herb garden. I will partake in a dish of those same items myself, so that we are all sharing a meal. I find that dumb suppers are my favorite way to honor Spirit in all it's forms. I mat try my hand at a flower mandala on my lawn as well this year.
Blessings! Blessings! Blessings! Thank you for sharing yet another wonderful video on this beautiful celebration of the first harvest. Along with a dumb supper, I shall try my hand at a mandala on my lawn this Lughnasagh. Yours looks lovely! ❤
Thank you for a lovely, enthusiastic video! One point I'd like to open up for discussion though is the characterisation of Lugh as a sun god. I haven't come across any evidence for this in Irish mythology. The Victorians, possibly at around the time of the Golden Bough, seemed to have introduced this idea. Earlier texts and oral folklore in Ireland doesn't seem to support this idea, however. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
I harwestet some caraway in my garden this week and I will bake the bread and use caraway. It tastes lovely to a good soup. I will make a mandala and put on my dogs grave, she died week ago, from a snake bite. Or would it be wrong to put a mandala on a grave?
What nonsense! There is no evidence of wicker men, sacrifice or spilling blood at Lughnasadh. Lughnasadh means Lugh's Games which he held in honour of his foster mother.
Women did not need to harm to spill blood , we used our menstrual blood to nourish the earth.Perfect!

You may well be right, Gods and their characteristics tended to change with the ages

im so sorry for your loss. what a lovely tribute that would be
I wish you could teach me how to make a corn dolly:)
