| "Lughnasadh" means "Games of Lugh". Lugh is a Celtic God, and that is his time to shine. Lugh is a hero God, a father God. He is celebrated through feasting and games. This holiday is especially celebrated by people with talents for crafts, healing, smithing, music, and Lugh was the God of all of these things (and others). This is a time of knowledge; of sharing what you have learned, and learning what others have to offer you. It was traditionally a time to celebrate the harvest, and the modern Pagan uses this time to celebrate the harvesting of fruits of knowledge. Students may use this time to concentrate on goals for the upcoming school year. However, it is important to note that this holiday is a festival. Care should be taken to dance, eat, drink, frolic, and be merry! |
