Happy #Lughnasadh everyone! While not something I harvested, today seems appropriate to share this picture I took with #mosstodon and #mushtodon.

🌾 Lughnasa, the ancient Celtic festival marking the start of the harvest, was named for the god Lugh and celebrated with feasts, games & gratitude. Today, honour the tradition by harvesting summer veg & sowing for autumn. The wheel turns—your garden grows. 🥕🌽 #Lughnasa #HarvestTime #GrowYourOwn

One of the theories I explore addresses the question: why are these two Munster-Mórrígna found in seasonal *triples* celebrating #imbolc, #Bealtaine, and #Lughnasa, but not #Samhain? And the answer, I think, is that in these guises they represented stages of the Corn: Planting, Ripening, and Harvest.
That leaves one season and one goddess, but we already have a good idea: the last sheaf of the corn was woven and kept respectfully for next year, and called the #Cailleach - the same name as the goddess of Winter.
That seems to put the Mórrígan in the position of being the representation of the "Maturing/Ripening" stage of the Corn. Planting should be done by Bealtaine! Planting is Brighid's business! :)

#Celtic #FolkloreSunday: `After the death of Nás, identified as one of the wives of Lugh, his other wife, her sister Bói, died of grief at her sister's loss, resulting in Lugh founding the festival of #Lughnasa to lament their passing. The passage tumulus of #Knowth (originally Cnogba) is associated with Bói.`

#Celtic #LegendaryWednesday: `Queen #Tailtiu of the Firbolg was the only mother the God #Lugh had ever known, and when she died, he was so overcome with grief, that he founded the annual Festival of #Lughnasa in honour of his foster mother at Tailten (Teltown in Co Meath, between Navan and Kells), where she had lived and was buried.`
