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.

Art is amazing! The creative impulse has spurred humanity for thousands of years. We naturally want to tell stories, paint pictures, shape metal and stone into beautiful objects, and perform through song, dance, and theatre. 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. This episode's interview features Elle Vallejos, daughter of Aphrodite, former Daring Girls Counselor, and current Hiring & Recruiting Manager for Plato Learning! Elle is an illustrator and costumer, and she shares some of her journey as a creative artist.

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.

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.

The Fomorians are on their way and Lugh wants to fight, but the other gods are keeping him from the battle. 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.

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.
