A little pretty story for Celebrate this Day 🌞 #Sabbat #Lammas #Lugnasad #Lughnasadh #Lughnasa #LammasNight #Lammastide #WheelOfTheYear ⭐ In a dark land in the corners of Ireland, land governed by the Fomoire, those old gods, arcane and immortal of death and night. Sponsored her steps one by one by the crows, the sorceress in her glass vessel full of souls, escorted the King Balar, a dreaded king, a king without a crown, with one eye on the forehead and another on the nape. Balor Balcbéimnech lived in the air of war, murdered for pleasure and devoured the souls of the old kings fallen in combat, being the best known of these, Nuada, the king of the Tuatha Dé Dannan. The dreaded King thought himself invincible, until a mighty druid saw in the future that the king of demons would be killed by his own blood, his offspring, and forgotten until the end of time. Fearful of the destined end, Balor locked in a tower of twelve stories, with twelve doors next to twelve maidens, his only daughter, Ethne. In order to avoid fulfilling the fate seen in the stars by the old seer of the forest. disguised as old women, a noble blacksmith and a fairy entered the tower, they silenced the doors and slept the maidens, all except Ethne the beautiful daughter of the deceived king. Nine moons passed and just between the summer Solstice and the autumnal equinox, three babies saw the new moon was born at dusk, two babies were drowned by the hand of their grandfather, but one grew under the care of His father, the noble blacksmith. The noble blacksmith, whose brothers had been murdered by Balor in the past, raised the young man as a humble blacksmith, without knowing his destiny in greatness, the young blacksmith, craftsman, magician and carpenter, He seeks to avenge the death of His uncles and the remembered King Nuada. And with a rod reddened in fire, he pierce the eye of the neck of Balor, finally murdering the dreaded king of the demons, granting freedom to his mother and peace to the fallen soldiers. In honor of the brave hero, the Celts gave their name to the Month of Lunasa (August), and every August 1, they and us celebrate the festival of Lammas, Lugnasad or Lughnasadh. All this in honor of the God named Lug, who defeated evil and became King of the World, who every month of Lunasa, spills his blessings on the farms that feed us. #Sabbat #Lammas #Lugnasad #Lughnasadh #Lughnasa #LammasNight #Lammastide #WheelOfTheYear . . . . . #Pagan #Pagans #PagansofInstagram #Paganworld #Paganfolk #Pagangods #Paganism #Wicca #Wiccan #Wiccans #WiccansofInstagram #Heathen #SpiritsoftheNature #Spirits #Nature

Lughnasadah, Mabon, and Samhain: The Three Harvests

Of the three harvests Lughnasadah or Lammas is first and it focuses on the hard work of harvest. It is the grain harvest. Unlike fruit, grain is not instantly food after picking it. There is much more work to be done. Lugh is about the labor we must give in order to harvest. It is for this reason many pagans chose to honor the sacrifice of  the grain by fasting.

Mabon is second and it focuses on the gratitude we give to the land and fruits. It is the fruit and vegetable harvest. The bounty of the Earth is on full display and we celebrate the last of the light before the dark half of the year. The fast of Lugh comes to an end. This is the reasons many witches feast on Mabon eve. 

Samhain is the last of the three harvests and it focuses on the finality of harvest. It is traditionally the time when animals are slaughtered. The forage will run out soon and the nights are cool enough to keep the meat from spoiling. It is a time to take stock of what to keep and what to let die. It is a time to remember the dead.

Lammas/Lughnasadah

It’s time for summer to come to an end as the grain is done 

   The Light God is honoured along with his father God of the Sun  

 The Sun God ripens the grain so we may eat 

   There is then a feast before the labourers rest their feet 

    It’s a time to celebrate by making fires and baking fresh bread

    It’s a time to celebrate the Goddess’ of the harvest with a candle 

of Red  

 Go for a stroll in the forest and feel the fading summer breeze

   And smell the scent of the summer trees 

   Now is a time for rest Before we begin another fest
