Ravenna's Lughnasadh Log
This
holiday is the first of the three harvest holidays. The work of the spring and
summer is finally paying off in the first harvest. It is known as the time when
the plants of spring wither and drop their fruits or seeds for our use as well
as to ensure future crops.
As autumn begins, the Sun God enters his old age, but is not yet dead. The God
symbolically loses some of his strength as the Sun rises farther in the South
each day and the nights grow longer.
The Sun King, now Dark Lord, gives his energy to the crops to ensure life while
the Mother prepares to give way to her aspect as the Crone.
Wheat weaving, such as the making of corn dollies, is traditional. Bread is
baked and the altar is decorated with fruits and vegetables of the harvest.
