Lughnasadh Blessings to you all! Today we celebrate the first of the harvest festivals that occur over the next few months, including Mabon in September and Samhain in October. Lughnasadh or Lammas, depending on your tradition, is the perfect day to celebrate the spirit of the harvest and give thanks for the abundance that Mother Earth is blessing us with at this time.
Lughnasadh gets its name from the Celtic Sun God Lugh. It means the "marriage of Lugh." In Celtic traditions, tonight we honor the God Lugh, the Celtic craftsman, and the God of skills and talents and light. In Celtic mythology, Lugh is associated with the grains and harvests as he once held a harvest fair in honor of his stepmother, Tailtiu. The name Lugnhasadh comes from his name and is in honor of his work and the fair he held that day in tribute to his mother. The three days prior to this festival were considered sacred to ancient Celts, and they used them as a time of purification.
