☀️ Happy Lughnasagh! It's my first day of work, and the day before my birthday. Quite a day for me!
I'm grateful for the first harvest of the year, and for all the seedlings yet planted for the autumn to come.
Bless Tailtiu, Lugh's foster mother, for her care and sacrifice. May we honor her with games, generosity, and genial community. ☀️

#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.`
