Dear all out there,
We are on the eve of Lughnasadh. On the night of August 1st to 2nd, the Wheel of the Year turns from Litha to Lughnasadh, also called Lammas.
We celebrate the beginning of Autumn and the first harvest of the year, which consists of grain and fruit. Hence, Lughnasadh is also called Grain Festival.
Lughnasadh, the period or celebration of Lugh, refers to the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. The power of the Sun is waning and its energy has been transferred to the wheat that has matured.
The first harvest festival is the end of the ‘Summer Holidays’, the Summer’s Rest, and heralds the beginning of a time of activities and hard work. It used to be the time when the warriors came back to help on the land.
Over the next two or three months, our ancestors prepared for the coming Winter.
How are you preparing for the coming Winter?
With love,
Elke )O( The Alder Scrolls /|\
