I tried to be semi-serious about it, I really did… but the only thing I could think the entire time was “he looks like he gets good reception”

Pagan posting hours:
I've decided to make steps towards Lugh intentionally, by means of a trial of sorts.
More about it under the cut, cw: weight loss mention.
For a while now I've been trying to intentionally loose weight, since I don't physically feel happy with where my body is at, and by trying the usual methods, I seem to just keep sabotaging myself because apparently, I'm not very high up on the list of people to honour in this whole journey. Paradoxical, but true.
It's slammed me right up against the wall of my own insecurity and lack of self worth and why that exists. And having a higher power and motivation to report to is something I could see helping me.
I've felt called to do this by Lugh for a while now, so I hope it goes as well as I've envisioned. My aunt died young due to extreme obesity and its related impacts, which was caused by family trauma similar to the kind I deal with.
I won't let that be me. I love life and living, and I want to keep my body in shape for it. It's time for healing, bitches

Empress ~ The Creative ~ Lugh Samildanach ~ God Tarot.
Irish.
Lugh Samildanach, the many skilled, stands before a cornfield as it approaches harvest. At his feet is a basket of fruits and vegetables from the summers growing season, and above his head as a beehive buzzing with activity. Lugh bears a blazing red sun his chest to mimic the bright sunlight of the day and to attest to his status as God, whilst a tool belt hangs at his hip ready for creative use. With one hand he says sows seeds (Containing his title “Samildanach”) into the ground, and with the other he holds a long spear with the runes Jera, Berkana, and Ingwaz on its shaft. He stands by a birch tree, from which a peaceful green man stares.
responding to Nature
relating to plants and animals
embracing the natural
feeling connected to the Earth

I've been pretty motivated to draw my god in the Hades style, so here he is. The Shining One himself, as best I could do him justice.

Merry Lúnasa
Wishing you all a wonderful first harvest weekend, whether you celebrate Lúnasa, Lammas or Yorkshire Day! All three have meaning for me, but Lúnasa is the festival I celebrate most. Click the link for a poem named for Samildánach, one of Lugh’s epithets.

🌻Lughnasadh🌻
Around August 1
Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-NA-sah) or Lammas is celebrated around August 1st. This marks the first wheat or grain harvest of the year.
Lammas literally means ‘loaf mass’ a celebration of bread. Honoring the forces of the powerful Sun’s light and feasting on the fruits of labor. Neighbors take a momentary break from gathering and preserving food in preparation of the colder months to participate in contests of skill, dancing, and laughter.
The name Lughnasadh means ‘gathering of Lugh.’ The Celtic Sun God Lugh (which is where the name Lughnasadh derives from) is known as Lugh Samildanach- the Master of All Arts, for he is skilled in every craft. He is also known as Lugh Lamfhada- Lugh of the Long Arm; for he wields the Spear of Lugh, which never misses its target when thrown in battle.
Instead of Lughnasadh being held in his honor however they were in memory of his earth mother Tailtiu. She gave her people the gift of cultivation and taught them how to sow/reap the crops. While clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture, she became weak from the intense work. That before she died, she told her people her son, Lugh, would pour his spirit into the grain which would then sustain them over the cold winter.
Lugh mourned over his mother’s death and then asked the people to honor her with their crops and to celebrate the bounty of their harvest.
Bake a loaf of bread for Lammas. Make an attempt to add something you’ve harvested (herbs, veggies, edible flowers, etc.) to your bread. Imbue your bread with an awareness of Mother Earth as you work with it. You can also light candles to honor the Sun. Or spend the day having fun; dance, laugh, celebrate!

This day is lugh's day
Bardit de Lugh
Devant toi je m’incline, Ô Lugh, protecteur du Monde,
Protège-nous aujourd’hui, protège le Savant et ses Etudes, Protège l’Artisan et ses Outils, l’Agriculteur et ses Champs. Protège nos foyers et ceux qui y vivent, inspire l’Artiste et ses Œuvres.
Accorde nous aussi la santé, pour que ce soir, en nous laissant dans ta lumineuse gloire, Tu nous quittes sains et joyeux, Comme tu nous a trouvé à l’Aurore !
Ison son bissiet !
/|\
‐---------------------------------------------
Lug, Lugh ou Lugus est une divinité majeure de la mythologie celtique. Il apparaît en père de la création, véritable spécialiste de la communication et protecteur des arts. Sa fête était célébrée au jour de la Lugnasad, le 1eraoût et parfois les jours suivants. Il est aussi présent sous des formes variées et complexes dans la mythologie celtique des îles britanniques.
Issu du couple indo-européen des Dioscures, les Jumeaux divins, une des plus anciennes figures du panthéon indo-européen.
Lug Samildanach « aux multiples arts » par son intervention restaure l'ordre et le droit lorsque les autres dieux sont tombés dans l'oppression.
Étymologie :
L'étymologie exacte de Lugus est discutée. La racine proto-celtique du nom lug, pourrait être dérivée de la racine indo-européenne lug : noir, leuǵ « casser », ou leug « prêter un serment ».
Elle est plus vraisemblablement dérivée du proto-indo-européen : leuk « briller », en dépit des difficultés que pose cette étymologie notamment parce que le proto-indo-européen k ne produit jamais en proto-celtique g. Néanmoins, à la suite de Françoise Bader, selon qui la racine indo-européenne de la « lumière » serait leu et non leuk, elle est à nouveau considérée comme la plus convaincante par les spécialistes pour qui Lugus signifierait « le lumineux ».
Lug dans la mythologie gauloise :
Dans la religion gauloise, Lug a pour emblème symbolique la lance, la harpe, le sanglier et la fronde, mais aussi plus trivialement la tige ou paille, le fil ou la corde, le crin ou le poil, le lien ou l'attache.
L'importance de Lugos, Lugus en Gaule et dans les régions anciennement celtes est attestée par un certain nombre de toponymes dont les plus connus sont Lugdunum (Lyon), Laon en France ou encore Legnica en Pologne actuelle. On peut citer Lugano en Suisse (canton du Tessin).
Jules César, dans ses Commentaires sur la Guerre des Gaules tente de l'identifier au dieu latin Mercure et le présente comme le plus haut dieu gaulois : « Le dieu qu’ils honorent le plus est Mercure : ses statues sont les plus nombreuses, ils le considèrent comme l’inventeur de tous les arts, il est pour eux le dieu qui indique la route à suivre, qui guide le voyageur, il est celui qui est le plus capable de faire gagner de l’argent,de protéger le commerce ».Les historiens des religions, plutôt qu'une assimilation stricto sensu au Mercure romain voient dans la description de ce Lugus Mercurius l’équivalent du Lug Samildanach mobilisateur des fonctions souveraines et artisanales.
Le Lugus gaulois est à la fois un dieu lieur par la magie, ainsi qu'un dieu lié avec des chaînes. Selon l'universitaire Patrice Lajoye, son culte dans la Gaule christianisée sera poursuivi par celui de Saint Léonard, représenté tenant des chaînes et qui balise les frontières d'espaces géographiques.
Lug dans la Mythologie celtique brittonique :
Lug est appelé Llew Llaw Gyffes (« à la main adroite ») au Pays de Galles. Il apparaît dans la littérature dans les récits des Mabinogion .Le Levelys est un Lugus aux paroles de miel dont le rôle est de conseiller et d'aider son frère Lludd à remettre en ordre son royaume menacé.
Lug dans la mythologie celtique irlandaise :
En Irlande, il est mentionné notamment dans le Cath Maighe Tuireadh, la « Bataille de Mag Tured » et dans le Táin Bó Cúailnge, la « Rafle des Vaches de Cooley ». De nos jours, Lug est présent dans la fête du 1er août : Lugnasad(Lúnasa en graphie moderne).
Les Tuatha Dé Danann :
Selon les sources irlandaises, la société divine est structurée de la même manière que la société humaine, et l'organisation des Tuatha Dé Danann, les Gens de la tribu de Dana hiérarchisée en trois classes fonctionnelles. La société divine est articulée autour du roi représentant la société entière, Lug Samildanach ou Nuada, le roi des dieux, avec la fonction sacerdotale représentée par Dagda, le dieu-druide, la fonction guerrière prise par Ogmios, le dieu de la magie guerrière et du savoir.

Born out of tragedy
I have a goal: To write and publish a book about how to safely and effectively present elements of risk and menace in public ritual. That goal arose from experiences I have had during the past 25 years or so that I’ve been attending and participating in public rituals throughout the Pagan community of the Puget Sound. I have seen choices made in public ritual presentations which were ill-advised and even dangerous, sometimes with tragic results. I understand that sometimes an element of risk or menace is useful to create the desired intensity and focus in a ritual, to better raise and direct the magick - but it needs to be done in a manner which keeps the participants safe, especially in public ritual. With a background in various martial arts and experience in theater and stage combat, as well as extensive experience presenting large public ritual (including choreographing ritual combat for several different groups in and around the Sound), I feel that I am uniquely qualified to provide some useful guidance in this arena.
First, though, let me tell you about the event which first set me on this path: the most catastrophic public ritual in which I ever took part:
In the July of 2005, I was involved in an amazing weekend of public ritual, in which several instances of truly powerful magick occurred, and during which I personally experienced a deeply magickal event. But that weekend began with disaster.
At the time, owing to my background in stunts and theater as well as presenting large public ritual, I was the leader of the Sword Circle of the Cascadian Sean Ciall tradition of witchcraft. For that weekend, I was also High Priest, and for most of the festival I would be Invoking Lugh Samildanach, the Celtic God of Many Skills. For the purposes of the festival’s harvest theme, Lugh had been conflated with the Sacrificial King, a.k.a. John Barleycorn.
During the festival’s opening ritual, anyone interested in carrying the god was invited to prove themselves by passing three challenges, one for each of the Circles of Sean Ciall. The combat challenge was a brief duel I had choreographed with wooden swords. The Song Circle challenge was, if I remember correctly, a riddle. The Spell Circle challenge was to call flame from water.
I, of course, challenged. The combat went well, but just as I struck aside my opponent’s last “attack,” and pointed the tip of my bokken at his throat, we all heard the whump of a small explosion. A moment later, someone began to scream; quietly at first, but quickly scaling upward.
“It burns. It burns! I’m burning! I’M BURNING!”
The magic trick of the Spell challenge was created through an exothermic reaction; a powder was placed into the chalice into which I was supposed to pour some water, which would trigger the reaction. My entrance into the ritual circle had been the cue for one of the Spell Circle presenters, a woman named Kelsie, to pour the powder into the chalice. The magician who had provided the powder was supposedly knowledgeable, and things had gone well enough in practice.
But today, things had gone horribly wrong. That July weekend was the hottest on record, and the retreat where the festival was being held bordered on an extensive wetlands.The air around the site that evening was quite humid, so the reaction occurred too early, and a ball of fire erupted out of the chalice. Katie had been bent over the cup, so her face, neck and upper chest were bathed in flame and burning powder, which seared its way into her flesh.
All hell broke loose. The ritual collapsed as people freaked out. I, sad to say, was deeply into the ritual headspace, and was slow to respond. Thankfully, another presenter had the presence of mind to scoop Kelsie up and carry her, running full tilt, to the outdoor showers a couple hundred feet away. The two of them stayed there until the ambulance arrived.
This debacle could have been prevented, had I paid enough attention. I wasn’t the ritual director, but nevertheless as High Priest, and given my background, I should have seen the possibility of what could go wrong, and taken steps to prevent it.
The person who had provided the pyrotechnical powder had claimed a level of expertise I later discovered wasn’t accurate. A story was related to me of a time when he nearly set himself on fire, thanks to a leaky container in his backpack. But despite having spent time as a member of a fire-stunt safety team, I never thought to verify his credentials and simply trusted his word.
We had fire suppression ready, but it had been prepped to control the fire if it somehow spilled, and spread. We never anticipated the small explosion which actually happened. That, too, I should have taken steps to prevent. Relying on our pyrotechnician, who told us he had only so much of the expensive powder, we had only used a small amount of powder in a test, and not during our dress rehearsal. This was a breach of every rule of stage safety, and Kelsie paid the price for our negligence.
Kelsie survived with mostly second-degree burns, though in places they verged into third-degree. Her recovery was both medically remarkable, and an object lesson in the dangers of even benevolent magick - but that’s a story for another time.
Next time I’ll relate how we kept the festival going, and the incredible magick that occurred later that weekend.

Lughnasadh/ Lamas
Original post here (Facebook post).
So, we have the wheel of the year, and the wheel is based upon the sun, the moon, and the seasons.
We have two equinoxes: Spring and Autumn; Also, two solstices for the Winter and Summer. In-between these we have 8 subsections: the sabbats.
It is important to note that while all cultures have had significant ties to the seasons and the changes they bring, the concept of having all exact 8 holidays together as presented in the wheel of the year is a more modern (and Wiccan centric) idea.
This means not all pagans celebrate these specific holidays but may still celebrate festivals that are closely related in meaning. Now to the history of Lughnasadh.
Lugh is the Irish Sun God. This is a very simple title and, as with many deities, he has epithets that show his domain rules over more than just the sun. He was known as a young warrior figure and was also called by the epithet Samildanach, which means ‘the many- skilled’. He is a part of the group called Tuatha De Danann, which is recognized as the last generation of Gods to rule over Ireland before the invasion of Milesius or the ancestor of the present-day Irish. In Irish mythology Lugh is a very well respected and celebrated God. There was a prophecy foretold that Balor would be killed by his grandson, which would be Lugh. To try and avoid his end, Balor planned the death of Lugh. Magic and fate intervened and Lugh survived, and was secretly raised by Tailtu. Many years pass as well as many endeavors and Lugh in turn is now grown and has many legends and stories to his name. It is after some time that his foster mother Tailtu took it upon herself to clear land for a plain so that food may be grown. She labored by herself, and after the work was done exhaustion overcame Tailtu and she died. In her honor Lugh commemorated a funeral festival. It has been known as Oenach Tailten and can be compared to the modern-day Olympics. This was a time for pacts and peace. There were sporting competitions, crafting competitions, trading, and general merriment. Grain and bread were possibly present as symbols of Tailtu for her gift of the plains. This festival, while in honor of Tailtu, also celebrated Lugh particularly for his element of having many skills. This festival became known as Lughnasadh.So where does Lammas come into play? Lammas was actually a Christian holiday.
Lammas is a time for blessing the loaves of bread made from the newly harvested grain. There is also suggestion that this day was also tied to the feast of Saint Peter in Chains. I couldn’t find much information on how this holiday was celebrated though it seems it was more of a holiday that was about taking pagan roots and giving it a Christianized facelift for the sake of making conversion more appealing and easier. In medieval times it was also tied with an Anglo-Saxon ritual of taking your blessed loaf of bread and breaking into pieces to put in different corners of where your grains.
So that is the historical notes on Lughnasadh and Lammas. Today many wiccans and neopagans celebrate them as the same holiday with both names being interchangeable. Now that we know the history time to move on to modern day celebrations.
If you are on the path of Wicca or celebrate the Gods and Goddesses specifically tied to Lughnasadh then it should be fairly easy to figure out how the celebrations can fit into your worship and beliefs. What if you don’t fall into any of those categories? Well then you have to make some decision, mainly if this holiday and its ideas are one you want to implement into your worship. If you worship deities from other pantheons then you can see if there are any ‘replacement holidays’ if you will.
Since we have already discussed the traditional ties of Lughnasadh and Lugh and Tailtu lets instead look into the motifs that make up this celebration so that those who are secular or worshipping other deities can figure out how to make this holiday work.
Step back from the visual aspects of this holiday for a moment. The basis of this holiday, if you are celebrating it close to its Celtic core, is that it is about giving thanks to Tailtu for her sacrifice. Grieving her death and celebrating the new fields for harvesting. Thanks is also given to Lugh for his power in the sun, as the sun is important to the growth of plants. With the competitions and crafting that went on in these festivals the aspect of Lugh being many-skilled is also celebrated. Away from the ties to the Goddess and God, it is about celebrating the first harvest, which would have been the difference between thriving in life or suffering with famine in the days before grocery stores. This is also a day about reaping what you sow, which can be taken figuratively or literally. Now what about the physical aspects that you can add into your worship and festivities?
Well bread and grains is a huge thing!
Corn dolls are popular. In reflection of the wheat, gold and yellow is a big color to use. Any tools that are used in agriculture can be used in ritual, such as a scythe or a sickle. Of course, these are only a small sample, you can include anything that feels right to you! We encourage you to share what you would personally associate with this holiday in the comments! So what if you worship a completely different pantheon? I would suggest looking into deities with similar connections as Lugh and Tailtu. Gods or Goddess that is connected to agriculture fertility, the sun, crafting and skills would be where you want to look. Speaking from a Hellenistic perspective this would be a good day to worship Hephaestus, Athena, Demeter, and Kore, and possibly Hestia. Kronia is actually very similar to Lughnasadh in that it is a festival celebrating Kronos as holding domain over harvest. For witches in hiding who need to integrate their celebrations in with mainstream American celebrations then Thanksgiving can be a good time to implement these ideas.

Lugh’s Lesson
I walk up to the gates
And I tell them
How much I have to offer
How much I have to give
But they don’t want to know
They’ve seen it all before
You don’t write better
Sing better
Fight better
Than any we’ve seen before
Ok, I say, the way
Through your closed-mindedness
Is clear
No fear, I’ll show
Instead of tell
I’ll write the words
That make you
Laugh, cry and sleep
I’ll sing the song
That brings…
