It begins what is called "the chase of Lugh". Lugh is the Celtic Sun God, and He rains down upon the crops, living within the golden fields. At this celebration, we give thanks to the Earth for its bounty and beauty. It is from these harvests that we eat through the upcoming winter. Many games and sports are played to celebrate strength and good health and to honor Lugh. The grain Goddesses Demeter and Ceres are also usually honored. This is a time to harvest the goals you've "planted" in yourself earlier in the year. |
