Lughnasadh Ritual

Lughnasadh–also called Lammas, or Loaf-mas–is the festival of the first bread, and with it, a celebration of the god Lugh. Lugh, god of the lightning strike; Lugh, the master of many tools; Lugh, the quick-tongued warrior who uses truth as one of His weapons; Lugh, the unlikely leader who knows the ins and outs of resisting empire. In this season, we follow His lead, celebrating not only the gifts of the earth that sustain us, but also the sacrifices that allow us to survive. Bread is baked; yeast eats its fill of summer sugars and dies gloriously in the heat of the oven. The land reclines in the warmth of August, but the days are already growing shorter. And Lugh knocks at the gate, inviting us to speak our truths, to use our many tools of resistance, and to look for what will feed us through the season of long nights.
