The turning of the wheel now brings us to August Eve, Lughnasadh (LOO-nus-uh), Lunasda, also known by its medieval Christian name of Lammas, named in honor of the Celtic god Lugh, a name which means “light” or “shining.”
Lughnasadh is the first of three harvest celebrations the time when grains are harvested. The Goddess is acknowledged as the Corn Mother, Demeter or Ceres or any other Goddess of harvest, abundance and bounty or of the season. The God is acknowledged as Lugh, John Barleycorn(wiccan).
Lughnasadh occurs 1/4 of a year after Beltaine. True astrological point is 15 degrees Leo, but tradition has set August 1st as the day it is typically celebrated. Since the Ancients Celts passed their days from sundown to sundown, the celebration would usually begin the night before on July 31st. Lughnasadh is also the last Fire festival for the Pagan year.
