On the first episode of Three Ravens Series 6, we are making a right old fuss about an often overlooked county when it comes to folklore - Bedfordshire, the county of John Bunyan, little blue spacemen, and mysterious Medieval serial killers... We start off chatting about both St Winwaloe's Day, which is surprisingly saucy actually, and all the madness of Shrove Monday, after which we bustle across to Bedfordshire!After chatting through some amazing aspects of Bedfordshire's history, as represented by three pretty jaw-dropping historical finds, including the Dunstable Swan Jewel, a magical Viking sword, and a bunch of long-hidden skeletons, Martin then sits us down for Afternoon Tea, revisits the topic of Clangers, and introduces us to Chocolate Toothpaste, all of which are contenders for Bedfordshire's County Dish!After that, we get stuck into some folklore, including the spooky afterlife of the airmen who died in the R101 airship disaster, the now-leveled ancient henge arena and worship ground where the Celtic god Lugh drank the wellsprings of revelation, and discuss Bedfordshire's plethora of Shucks - all supplemented by some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with local historian David Longman, who has a very naughty rector he wants to warn you about...Then it's on to the main event: Martin's story "The Devil's Fingermarks" which combines the Dark Lord himself with horse-stealing Georgians, Horace Walpole, William Beckford, and a rather haunted gothic castle!We really hope you enjoy it, will be back on Thursday with a new Magic and Medicines bonus episode about Ley Lines (and for the Three Ravens Second Birthday Livestream on YouTube!) all before the full interview with David comes out on Saturday!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. This episode focuses on a forgotten Goddess in Irish mythology. We celebrate Lughnasa or Lughnasadh as the first harvest day, but there was once a greater celebration known as the Tailteann Games in Meath and all over Ireland. These games were in honour of the Goddess Tailtu, foster mother of Lugh, whose name we remember as the God of the summer sun and the archetypal mythic warrior… but what of his favourite foster mother? Today's episode is dedicated to Tailtiu as we are in the middle of August, which in Irish is the month of Lughnasa. We will resume our Fianna series in the next episode after this story. Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story includes mentions of family separation and physical violence.

Subscribe to my Substack newsletter: https://enthusiastica.substack.com/ Join the Cave of Dreams workshop series waiting list: https://danicaboyce.myflodesk.com/b7gtzedsam In this episode, Daniel Allison tells the story of the god Lugh (after whom Lughnasadh is named) at the hall of the king Nuada, leading us into a discussion of how we might approach Lughnasadh folklore and mythology now. Then we share what each of us has been up to lately, especially emphasizing the role of pagan devotion in each of our work, and diving into the role of “permission” to embody sacred traditional culture.

Lughnasa, also known as Lammas, has always fascinated me as one of the lesser-known festivals.  But it is deeply significant when talking about Celtic festivals. Celebrated on August 1st, this one marks the beginning of the harvest season, a time when the first grains and fruits of the year are gathered. The festival is named after the Celtic god Lugh, a deity of light and skill.  Lughnasa is one of the celebrations on our wheel of the year calendar …. Which represents the cyclical nature of the seasons (which I just love). Join me today as I talk about the history of Lughnasa and some fun things we can do in our practice to celebrate it! https://witchyworkwishes.com/

This St. Patrick's Day, Paul and Dan discuss the rich history of Irish myths, legends, and stories in the D&D game. From Druids and Bards to the Banshees and Firbolg, what are some of the best ways to spice up your game with inspirations from the Emerald Isle? Irish mythology is the body of myths indigenous to the island of Ireland. It was originally passed down orally in the prehistoric era. In the early medieval era, some myths were transcribed by Christian monks, who heavily altered and Christianised the myths. Irish mythology is the best-preserved branch of Celtic mythology. The main supernatural beings in Irish mythology are the Túatha Dé Danann ("the folk of the goddess Danu"), also known by the earlier name Túath Dé ("god folk" or "tribe of the gods"). Early medieval Irish writers also called them the fir dé (god-men) and cenéla dé (god-kindreds), possibly to avoid calling them simply 'gods'. They are often depicted as kings, queens, bards, warriors, heroes, healers and craftsmen who have supernatural powers and are immortal. Prominent members include The Dagda ("the great god"); The Morrígan ("the great queen" or "phantom queen"); Lugh; Nuada; Aengus; Brigid; Manannán; Dian Cécht the healer; and Goibniu the smith. They are also said to control the fertility of the land; the tale De Gabáil in t-Sída says the first Gaels had to establish friendship with the Túath Dé before they could raise crops and herds. They dwell in the Otherworld but interact with humans and the human world. Many are associated with specific places in the landscape, especially the sídhe: prominent ancient burial mounds such as Brú na Bóinne, which are entrances to Otherworld realms. The Túath Dé can hide themselves with a féth fíada ('magic mist'). They are said to have travelled from the north of the world, but then were forced to live underground in the sídhe after the coming of the Irish.

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…Whether you call it Lughnasadh, Lunasa, Lammas, or Freysblot marks the beginning of the harvest and takes place on August 1st, or the nearest weekend, which is about halfway between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. In the southern hemisphere, it's celebrated on Feb 1st.This sabbat, which is named after the Celtic god Lugh, celebrates abundance, growth, fertility, solar energy, the harvest, honoring the dead, visiting holy wells, athletic contests, baking bread, visiting markets or fairs, hiking, and entering into contracts (marriage or otherwise).

Lughnasadh, or Lammas, honours the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox. This year it is on Monday 7th August in the Northern Hemisphere. This festival's name is based on one of the most prominent gods in Irish mythology, Lugh. He is a warrior, king, master, craftsman and saviour. He is associated with skill and mastery in multiple disciplines, including the arts. This is a time when we mark the turning of the wheel of the year and start to prepare for the departure of the warm summer months. Be sure to take time to relax and reflect on your achievements and the good times that are abound. This episode explores how you can get into the spirit of Lughnasadh no matter where you are in the Northern Hempishere.

A look at the folk traditions surrounding the early August feast that opens the harvest, also known at Lugh's Funeral Games. Stay tuned for part 2, coming this week.

Lughnasadh is a cross quarter sabbat in the Wheel of the Year. This holiday is celebrated on August 1st, the closest full moon or when Leo is at 15°. Throughout Paganism, the first harvest is celebrated midway between Summer Solstice and the Fall Equinox. Lugh is known as the Sun God or a God of Light and is the foster son of Tailtiu, a Femorian who survived the invasion of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. Tailtiu was known as an earth goddess. This celebration marks a time of harvest, gratitude and the beginning of letting go as each night gets darker and darker in the sky. As the feminine reign takes over, we remember to give way to the natural flow of letting go with grace and ease.

LUGHNASADH -THE FIRST HARVEST The Wheel of the Year continues to turn for Pagans with the great Cross-Quarter Sabbat Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas. Named for the Irish God Lugh, this holiday marks the 1/2 way point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. Lugh is a Storm and Sun God with skills like crafting, fighting, musical artistry, and sorcery, and he wins the gift of agriculture for the Tuatha Dé Danann in battle. The holiday is also known as Lammas, which means loaf. Lammas Season comes to us at the hottest part of the year. It marked the beginning of the harvest season for ancient peoples in the Northern Hemisphere. But we can see this miracle of abundance in our modern world right now. Here in the Americas, the grain harvest has begun in the South and will continue up the continent until it arrives in Canada in mid-August. Green Corn Ceremony will be held by Indigenous tribes all over the country. For modern Witches and Pagans, this is a time to step into our power and begin harvesting and sharing the gold in our lives (hint: it starts with knowing how to identify it!) In this 2 hour lecture, we'll look at the origins of this ancient fiery Sabbat celebrating the bounty of the Earth. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-7 weeks of Lammas season, learn how you can observe this time of abundance for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pot of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also include magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart.

In this solo episode, I talk about the importance of recognizing the seasonal transition from summer solstice to autumn equinox, and connecting with nature during this time. This includes celebrating the Celtic Fire Festival called Lammas or Lughnasa, the story of Lugh (an Irish mythic hero), practicing traditional harvesting techniques, speaking out and harvesting responsibly, and connecting with the energy of the goddess, Demeter, a frequent companion of Hekate, Mother of Persephone, and a great teacher for standing in our power and taking account. Finally, this is an opportunity to practice harvesting your life's abundance while aligning root, heart, and crown energy centers through a meditation. I read from The Celtic Spirit: Daily Meditations for the Turning Year by Caitlin Matthews Watch the video version of this episode, with CC and searchable transcript HERE. READ my deep dive on Demeter. Find out MORE about Crossroads and Keys and The Hekate's Keys Program.

Lughnasadh, also referred to as Lamas, is the midway point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. This festival begins on August 1st & is honoring of our harvest season and recognizes the God Lugh. Today, we learn about Lugh, the God of Craftsmanship and the important roll that he plays. Danica shares her wisdom, walking us through traditions and rituals that we can practice to honor this transitional point in our year.

In this episode, we explore the mythological connections to all those ways of expressing creativity! From the Muses of Greece to the Hindu goddess Saraswati, from Anansi the spider to Celtic metalworkers, we'll introduce some of the most epic figures related to arts and crafting.

Many people have encountered Ireland over the millennia. The Emerald Isle has hosted scholars and poets, as well as fierce warriors and mighty High Kings. All have been touched by the land differently, and no one has left the same. We see this in the oldest stories of the old Celtic gods, the Tuatha Dé Danann, including figures such as the Dagda, the Morrigan, and Lugh, and their battle against the Fomoire, the fierce anti-gods including Elatha, Bres, and Balor, the giant champion with a destructive evil eye. Cath Maige Tuired (Mag Tuired or Moytura) details from the mysterious arrival of the gods in Ireland to their battle with the Fomorians, and gives us glances into ancient Irish culture and spirituality through its depictions of war and peace.

The DepartureWe left our house at 1 am Sunday morning to make the two and a half hour journey to St Louis to catch our flight. Maybe I should stop right here at the beginning and tell you I am terrified of flying. I was in a minor plane crash when I was a child and I have feared flying ever since. Our pilots did not realize the electrical system wasn't on until we were in the air. It was a medium to small plane, and they had no means of contacting the tower or ensuring the landing gear was down, so we “landed” in a farm field.Oh, and did I forget to mention I have a fear of crowds and being around people, especially now with the rampant transphobia in the world. I am so used to being judged and harassed because of that I avoid the opportunity to receive such treatment. So, here I am in a car on my way to get on a plane to travel through crowded airports to meet a bunch of people that I have only ever met online. Terror would have been a kindness to the whirlwind of rumination and fear assaulting me. Why had I agreed to this? Why was I going? How was I ever going to survive the trip?My husband and I talked the whole drive to St Louis about the trip and my fear of flying, devising a plan to keep me from freaking out. The St Louis airport was a bit of a nightmare. They took my cane away from me and had me get out of my wheelchair to walk through the scanner. I fell a couple times in the scanner, but I suppose it did its thing. At this point, they pulled me aside for a pat down, which was explained to me very simply. He then proceeded with the back of his hands until he got to my genitals. He had me spread my legs, and he reached up and fiddled with my downstairs mixup a bit before pulling the front of my shorts and underwear open to inspect the contents. After all that I was allowed to hobble to the wheelchair and only after I was seated did they return my cane. I expected a violation of my personhood at the airport from stories I've heard, but this was worse than I expected.  With all this wind added to the storm of emotions raging within me. I vibrated in the chair as we waited to board the plane. There was no turning back.I couldn't breathe as they wheeled me onto the plane. My fears danced around me with a devilish glee, singing songs and celebrating my impending doom.The FlightThe plane took off at sunrise and we raced away from the sun, desperate to remain in the darkness where terror reigned and the shadow needn't struggle to reach out to grab me. Light prevailed, driving back the night, but the fears remained.Fronts pressed in, disturbing the air and shaking the plane. To a confident flyer, I am sure it was minor turbulence, but in my panicked heart, each shake foretold my impending doom.Shlama laki Mariam… Hail Mary, full of grace,ripe with power and healing.Hold us in your loving arms,cradle us close to your heart.We fly to your patronage…We fly…“Let me enter the Path of Darkness, peradventure thus shall I obtain the Light”Like a neophyte at the temple as the first golden rays of the dawn broke over my soul, I prayed all the way to Denver and again on the second flight to Oakland. The second flight shook more than the first.The seat belt dug into my left hip, leaving a dark bruise. Panic ruled me, but we arrived safe and prayed up.Like Cleopatra's procession into Rome, I returned to Oakland for the first time in too many years. They assigned three people to the wheelchair, two to push and one to march before us, proclaiming, “Out of the way, wheelchair coming through.”Embarrassment married fear in the terminal as I covered my face and they raced us to the rental car shuttle.As Brian sorted out the rental car, I continued to meditate and pray. Entering the way of silence, I let go of my fear and embarrassment. In the inner grove, in the ground of Alaha, I found the relief and rest I needed for my soul. With the Shekhinah guiding us all on this retreat, I knew I was in good hands, but needed to remind myself of the good graces of God, because like all humans, I am forgetful.Our hostess, Carolyn Million, greeted us with love and grace. Though we had not met in person before, we had talked so much online; I felt at home and at ease. We were not strangers. I apologized for my disheveled traveler's appearance, and we visited, going out for sushi and getting more personally acquainted over the delicious meal before checking into our hotel to rest up for the days of meetings ahead.MondayIt was difficult to get up the next morning. My back and legs were already done in from traveling and the lack of sleep on the journey out. I was up for over 36 hours before I finally fell asleep in the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Slowly, I pieced myself together and we made our way to the host's house for the first day of meetings.As the sun fell behind the clouds and the meeting began, I arrived just before the last, to find a kind welcome. With open arms, we embraced in gratitude and love, Our distance melted away, in the light of community above.We prayed with our bodies, our hearts, and our minds, Sharing dreams, concerns, and challenges of every kind. For daring to envision a future in a world so dark, We imagined a path forward, with a flame that sparked.Our hearts yearned to awaken the world to a new dream, Words struggled to form, but we pressed on, it would seem. With a will to listen to the cry of wisdom's voice, We caught her words, and made them our choice.While we wrestled with angels of hope, dream, and possibility, Brian prepared our lunch: a handmade, gluten-free udon noodle bowl with his signature ginger teriyaki sauce with mixed vegetables and fish. It was delicious. At first, I feared he forgot to make the noodles gluten-free because I didn't know they were until he said something about it. We discussed our lives and our work over lunch before returning to the work we travelled together to do.I led the group in Rabbi David A. Cooper's beautiful and powerful middle pillar meditation to recenter ourself after lunch. We stood together as a grove of trees of life, rooted in Malkuth in the center of the earth feeling the energy of the cosmos rain down from the supernal realms. It flowed into Chokhmah, then to Binah, before filling Da'ath and flowing down the middle pillar before entering the earth and then feeling the return of the energy back up into the cosmos.As we gathered to discuss the future's hue, Wisdom joined us, with her vision anew. Entrusted with the four paths and their mysteries to keep, Through gifts, outreach, and membership we shall reap.Spirit mediated, helping guide our cares and concerns, Leading us towards the path where consensus turns. Each voice added to the chorus of aspiration, We teased out the way, with hopeful determination.Raucous debate and compassionate listening intertwined, As we wrestled the Nereus beast called vision, to find A form we could barely make out, with our sight so thin, As the first day came to an end, and our vision closed in.To the LabyrinthIn a fitting cap for the day, we all journeyed into San Francisco by ferry to add to our number and walk the labyrinth at Grace Cathedral.If you haven't guessed yet, I have a fear of boats and traveling over water. I know, I know, so many fears. I said several prayers as we waited to board the ferry, calling out to Mary, to Lugh, and to Manann to give me strength and peace. They answered my prayers better than I could have imagined.The bay was rough and the ferry rocked quite a bit, but I never got seasick. The most amazing part was that I never felt fear. I enjoyed the ride and might even say that I loved it.We took an Uber or a Lyft from the Embarcadero to Grace Cathedral, I cannot remember which, and Mary Ann Wamhoff taught us how to walk the labyrinth.I was so tired so I walked the circle around the labyrinth chanting the Tehora he: “Elohi neshama shenetatabi, tehora he.” “My God, the soul which you placed in me, she is pure.” Then I sat while everyone else walked the labyrinth reading the clouds. Three times I saw a fire chalice open in the clouds to bless us and I read four messages for those there. As I read each message, I asked who it was for, and either a bird flew over only one person or a bubble popped over someone.I hope you can see them in the pictures. As the others walked the labyrinth, a man set up at the bottom of the steps leading up to the cathedral with a bucket and a hoop between two poles. When he raised the hoop out of the bucket, the wind carried bubbles of all sizes up into the air and over the labyrinth.It was a magical surprise that added to the beauty of the moment.I have not felt such a deep peace for a long time. It was a beautiful day. There air was just cold enough to numb my knees and back and keep them from hurting too much while we were in the city.After the labyrinth, we went to Chinatown to eat dinner. The food was delicious, but I wish it had a bit more heat. Our server warned us that the food was very spicy, so you could choose from four levels of heat: none, mild, medium, and hot. Because we wanted to not be distracted by the heat so we could visit, we ordered medium heat, which I would call mild at best, but it tasted so good, I quickly forgave it.The conversation was great, and after an adventure to get back to our cars then back to the hotel.My legs spasmed the moment I laid down, but I quickly got them to calm down and drifted off to sleep.TuesdayI didn't wear exactly what I wanted to on Tuesday. Originally, I was going to wear the yellow top in the picture with a burgundy wine skirt, but it was colder than I expected and raining, so I layered up and wore the heavier, black skirt to keep warm. My hair was a disaster the entire trip, but I figured it only manifested the wildness I felt in my heart so I didn't fret about it too much.I felt like a feral animal around all these educated and cultured people, but I learned Creation Spirituality in the wild with Brian, experience, and a few books to guide me. My appearance was the least of my concerns. They accepted me for me and that was all that mattered.The path was found, but now to tread,From one generation to the next, wisdom spread.Many matters at hand, we discussed with fervor,Healing waters of words, flowed on further.At times, the stream rose, threatening to sweep us away,But never too far, from the path, did we stray.With open hearts and minds, we set our sights on goals,Yet, our vision foggy, and unknown language stalls.The way we should go, stands guard before us,Unique paths to many, yet the goal never lost.Words escape us, as we grapple with the new,As we move forward, towards the goal in view.Brian made a quinoa salad with a medley of olives, artichokes, and oranges, topped with calamari and fish. I will remember it for such a long time and hope to have it again soon. The interplay of the olives and oranges made a magic that haunts my pallet and I long to have it again.In our final session, an elder spoke,With clear vision, he named the path bespoke.We organized ourselves to spread the message wide,Gathering those who hear, to walk beside.Merging the old with the new, we found our way,Reaching towards the future, where our purpose lay.Mission defined, vision held, everything clear,The path before us, now devoid of fear.Priorities set, we rested in the work well done,So much accomplished in so little time spun.Collecting the words, we set our course anew,With understanding, of the paths we must pursue.Next steps discussed, present fears and future lead,Discernment of the group, to do what's best, we agreed.A mantle offered, held in prayer, I will serve,As needed, my faith in the paths we preserve.Dinner with Matthew FoxFor dinner, Brian made a play on fish and chips with a roasted root vegetables and gluten-free panko crusted fish and fruit dessert that has yet to be named. It had a crushed pecan crust and layers of banana held together by one layer of strawberry compote and another of blue berry compote. It was phenomenal.Matthew Fox arrived early and we all talked while munching on a roasted sweet potato and goat cheese hors d'oeuvre. He asked about the work each of us was doing, and when it came to me, I talked a little about the Whisper in the Dark series I will be coming out with soon.The others filled him in on the other things I do from the music to the art, because, well, I don't like talking about myself. I did an oracle card reading for everyone and wasn't surprised that everyone pulled a card the reflected their personality and mission perfect.Matt pulled the Archangel Gabriel, and I thought I saw him blush a bit as I explained the meaning of the card which described his mission perfectly.Over dinner, he told us about the books he is working on and spent a lot of time talking to Brian about the food, the restaurant, and the spirituality of cooking and hospitality.I was happy to be able to talk more to Michael, and in fact my only regret from the trip is that I didn't get to spend more time with him and Randy. Two dinners together wasn't enough.Matt brought books to give to us, and put my head down not wanting to impose.As he talked about Nature, Man, and Society in the Twelfth Century by M. D. Chenu and what he called the renaissance that worked, I looked up and saw both Patty and Diedre point at me and mouth the words, “That is for you.”When Matt asked who wanted the book, Diedre spoke up and said it was for me and I turned red in the face. I explained to Matt the new renaissance project we had been working on, and he smiled and said, “Oh, yes, this is for you. then. There is a chapter in this book that explains how the renaissance started from the ground up.”I accepted the book.He also brought several copies of his own book, Julian of Norwich: Wisdom in a Time of Pandemic — and Beyond. I already owned the book and as much as I wanted a signed copy, I didn't speak up. I already received a book and didn't want to appear greedy.Two of the three copies were snapped up. As the meal ended and we were about to go our separate ways, I noticed that there was one copy left and mustered up the confidence to ask for one.As we were milling around about to leave, Patty asked me what Matt wrote in the Chenu book, and I told her I didn't think to have him sign it since it wasn't his book. She explained to me that it was about lineage. Chenu taught Fox, and Fox taught me through his work and gave me the book, and she pulled it out of my bag and got him to sign it.What a blessing! I am so glad she did that for me.We have discussed behind the scenes, for quite some time, about the need for a new renaissance and I have seen all the neon signs from the cosmos encouraging me to work harder on the project. So I will not only be reading the Chenu book, but I will be posting about it here so you all can follow along, so if you want to get a copy to read along with me, this is the time to do that.We returned to our hotel filled with blessing and inspired for the work to come. My mind is still racing about all the plans made both for the CSC and for what we are going to be doing with Creation's Paths itself. WednesdayWe had some time before our flight on Wednesday so we visited more with Carolyn and went out for a tasty Korean lunch.After we said our goodbyes we went to the park and visited with the bay for one last time before leaving. I miss the Bay Area so much. It was wonderful to visit with all the people from the CSC, but it was also wonderful to return, even if for a little while to one of the only places I ever felt at home.The trip back was an adventure. This time, I didn't have any trouble at TSA and they didn't make me get out of the wheelchair and scanned me with the wand.We did have one snafu with the wheelchair on the way back. As we approached the boarding ramp my intuition told me to move my cane so I held it in the middle of my chest pointing out. I am so glad I did. As we went down the ramp, the front left wheel hit the stirrup and locked up, throwing me out of the chair. Fortunately, my cane hit the floor first and I sprung into a standing position instead of falling to the ground. This happened twice on the way to the plane. I hope they fix that chair so no one gets hurt.The flight back was a miracle. I wasn't afraid at all. I actually enjoyed the flight and started writing this post on the plane on the way home.As we raced the sunrise on the way out, we flew into the night on the way home.The flight was late taking off from Oakland due to weather, so we arrived at Denver with 12 minutes to get to our connecting flight. They put us on a cart and drove us to the opposite side of the airport and I grabbled onto the safety bar arriving with 5 minutes before boarding.We arrived in St Louis to a number of issues, but they were all minor annoyances so I am not going to bother going into them.The biggest issue was that our allergies hit us hard the moment we stepped outside. They were made worse by the nasty smell that looms over St Louis as a warning the not spend long there.The Dance of Chaos and CosmosI really didn't know what I was doing when I joined the board last October. I had already started Creation's Paths and didn't know how my work fit within the bigger picture of what the CSC was doing or how I personally fit in with the larger work either.Now, I have a deeper understanding of both, and I apologize for being vague about both at the moment. It is not my place to discuss the plans of the CSC, and I will unfold the new plan for us Wayfarers over the next couple months as each element arises.I have never felt so inspired and energized and I have a vision of hope for the future. So much good came from this retreat and I cannot wait to share them with you. Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…What exactly is the Celtic pantheon? It's a mish-mash of several different western European deities, that often get lumped into one camp. And unfairly so—there's enough information, history, and lore for each region to have their very own deep dive! In fact, you may be surprised to know that they weren't all natively worshipped in the same region. In this episode, we discuss the various regional deities that make up what is commonly thought of as a Celtic pantheon. Where they come from, what they're worshipped for, their appearance, and a brief list of correspondences. We go over the most popular deities attributed to the Celtic pantheon: The Dagda, Lugh, Brigid, Cernunnos, the Morrigan, and many more.

Convinced his destiny is to defeat the sinister Balor, he bides his time and prepares his fellow deities for the coming confrontation.  We talk about the concept of destiny and ask "what would a Fomorian victory mean for Ireland?" credits Written, presented and produced  by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh.

LUGHNASADH - LAMMAS - FIRST HARVEST The 2022 Wheel of the Year Cycle rolls along for Pagans with the great Cross-Quarter Sabbat Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas. This holiday marks the 1/2 way point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. This Holy Day is named for Lugh. Lugh is a Storm and Sun God with skills like crafting, fighting, musical artistry, and sorcery, and he wins the gift of agriculture for the Tuatha Dé Danann in battle. The holiday is also known as Lammas, which means loaf. Lammas Season comes to us at the hottest part of the year. It marked the beginning of the harvest season for ancient peoples in the Northern Hemisphere. But we can see this miracle of abundance in our modern world right now. Here in the Americas, the grain harvest has begun in the South and will continue up the continent until it arrives in Canada in mid-August. Green Corn Ceremony will be held by Indigenous tribes all over the country. For modern Witches and Pagans, this is a time to step into our power and begin harvesting and sharing the gold in our lives (hint: it starts with knowing how to identify it!) In this 2 hour lecture, we'll look at the origins of this ancient fiery Sabbat celebrating the bounty of the Earth. But the work isn't done after one night! We'll take a look at what we can expect for the coming 6-8 weeks of Lammas season, learn how you can observe this time of abundance for yourself or with your community, and get ready to Do The Work. Grab a friend, a journal or some art supplies, maybe make a pitcher of tea and a snack, and settle in. I also encourage folks to create sacred space for themselves by lighting a candle and/or some incense. You might also gather together magical tools like Tarot and your natal chart. Folks who would really like to dig in can subscribe to my Patreon at the Venus level or higher get access to a 20 page workbook and 7-8 week calendar, a copy of the video and tons more.

It's Lammas, or Lughnasadh, the Sabbat where many Wiccans and Pagans celebrate the beginnings of the harvest. This Sabbat is about the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth -- the grain god dies, but will be reborn again in the spring. Depending on your tradition, you may also observe this Sabbat as the day of the Celtic craftsman god, Lugh. Lugh was known to the Celts as a god of craftsmanship and skill -- in fact, he was known as the Many-Skilled God, because he was good at so many different things. Take the opportunity this day to celebrate your own skills and abilities, and make an offering to Lugh to honor him, the god of craftsmanship. So this week we'll celebrate Lamas as we look at both the tradition of the Harvest Festival and the honoring of Lough. Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh! Lammas actually just means loaf mass and Lughnasadh is named for the Welsh god Lugh. Lammas is the first harvest festival and occurs on August 1st each year in the northern hemisphere, marking the halfway point between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. (In the southern hemisphere, it occurs on February 1 each year.) It celebrates the grain harvest and first fruits and veggies of the year. It is also a harbinger that we are over halfway through summer and fall is on its way. It's traditionally celebrated by baking bread from wheat or corn, but there are many ways to celebrate this sacred day of abundance. Lammas occurs when the sun is in Leo each year. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Leo and the full moon in Aquarius, activating this axis of individuality within the collective and of how our creativity serves the greater good. At the opposite end of the year, the festival of Imbolc occurs during Aquarius season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but Lammas and Imbolc always activate this Leo-Aquarius axis. Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate Lammas. I'm also talking about how to manifest at this time in your own real, modern life.
