☀️ 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 #MythologyMonday for #EarthDay2024: #Tailtiu gave her life to clearing ‘a great plain’. To Ali Isaac „it seems possible that the great plain referred to signifies the landscape; Tailtiu came from the great plain and spent her life serving it, and returned to it after death. She is a daughter of the landscape. In other words, not a harvest goddess, but an earth goddess. She shaped the land just as the #Cailleach did."

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: `#Tailtiu’s task was to clear the land for the Danann, as they were not an agricultural people. They did not grow crops, they farmed cattle. According to the Dindshenchas, Tailtiu spent a year clearing forest to make way for a “plain blossoming with clover”. She shaped the land to create a meadow for grazing Danann cattle.`

#Celtic #LegendaryWednesday: In ancient #Ireland „it was expected that a foster child be reared in accordance with the role they would fulfil in life as an adult. Foster parents were responsible for ensuring the child was taught the knowledge, business, or trade suited to their rank. If the quality of the fostering was found to be inadequate in any way, the foster parents would be subjected to a hefty fine of two thirds of the original foster-fee.
#Lugh was known as the Samildanach, or ‘Master of all Arts’, because Queen #Tailtiu had seen to it that her foster son was taught not just in the battle arts, but many other skills also, such as healing, playing the harp, composing poetry, working metals as a smith, to name but a few.“
