#FediCoven 2026 Q7: What have seasonal changes taught you that books or teachers could not?

I've learned more from nature in general that I ever would have in school when it comes to many subjects. I allow myself to truly feel (and love) the changes during the year, throughout the seasons, and that alone has done a lot for me. Just as we as people change, Mother Earth does as well throughout the year. Change is good. It cleanses and renews.

#FediCoven 2026 Q6: What relationship do you have with the moon and its phases, and how does that show up in your craft?

Ever since I was little, I've always felt connected to the moon. That hasn't changed, nor will it. The moon plays a big part in my practice, as I'm sure it does for many others as well. I usually work my schedule and spells around its phases.

@floofpaldi I love when somebody hits it off with you & we start talking energies, herbs, or spiritual court. Then others join in with their experiences.

What doesn’t work for me when you bring something up that could be better & you’re greeted with apathy. I’ve left circles over this. #Pagan #Paganism #Wicca #Wiccan #Heathen #Fedicoven

#FediCoven 2026 Q5: What helps you feel welcome in a pagan or witchy space? And what doesn't?

A true feeling of "otherness" and a lack of crosses. LOL. In all seriousness, though, just a genuine sense of self, unapologetically and authentically them, so I can get a read on the person, an idea of who they are or what they like, and we all decorate differently. That final part makes things fun.

Just be yourself.

#FediCoven 2026 Q4: How do you identify? (Witch, druid, pagan, shaman, medium, 'all of the above'?)

These days, I generally only use a single word: pagan (because it's simple, easy). Feel free to call me anything you want, though. None of those words bother me. Also, random: I'm a medium, or a clairvoyant, psychic, etc. I even have a paranormal podcast.

#FediCoven 2026 Q3: Are you out of the broom closet?

I was raised in an Irish Catholic family. With that being said, my father practiced his own sort of Paganism, having been close to and dear friends with so many indigenous peoples, and my mother is Wiccan. So, of course, to some family members, I'm out. To others, I'm not. I actually live with my grandmother, my nana, and she thinks I just collect crystals. She also thinks I might be agnostic. It is what it is.

#FediCoven 2026 Q2: What role does self-care play in your practice? Any tips?

Self-care is a huge part of my practice. A major one, actually. We have to take care of ourselves before we can even think of taking care of those around us. No matter what your religion is, that should play a role.

As for tips? Do what's right for your body. Listen to what your body needs. Drink more water. Take your medication if you're reading this and you haven't yet. Every little thing matters.

#FediCoven 2026 Q1: For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined or deterministic?

Thank you, @HeliaXyana! :11111:

In some ways, I believe it is. In others, I do believe we forge our own path. You could ask any pagan and they would probably give you a different answer. While I think some things are set in stone, others might be changed.

Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, is a Pagan holiday celebrated on August 1st in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the Earth. The origins of Lughnasadh can be traced back to ancient Celtic traditions, particularly the festival dedicated to the Celtic god Lugh, who was associated with craftsmanship, skill, and the harvest.

Lughnasadh is a Celtic fire festival that celebrates the first fruits of the harvest and the blessings of the land. The name Lughnasadh comes from the Celtic god Lugh, who was honored at this time of year for his role in bringing about the successful harvest. The festival was traditionally celebrated with feasting, games, and contests, as well as rituals to ensure a bountiful harvest in the coming year.

One of the key elements of the Lughnasadh celebration is the making of corn dollies, which are braided figures made from the last sheaf of corn harvested from the fields. These corn dollies are often used as symbols of the harvest and are left in the fields as an offering to the land spirits. Another important aspect of the festival is the baking of bread from the newly harvested grains, which is then blessed and shared with the community as a symbol of the Earth’s abundance.

Lughnasadh also has strong associations with the cycle of life and death, as it falls halfway between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. It is a time to reflect on the turning of the seasons and the impermanence of life, as the energy of the sun begins to wane and the days grow shorter. In many Pagan traditions, Lughnasadh is seen as a time of sacrifice and transformation, when we let go of the things that no longer serve us in order to make way for new growth and abundance.

Correspondences for Lughnasadh include the colors gold, green, and yellow, as well as symbols of the harvest such as cornucopias, wheat sheaves, and sunflowers. The element associated with Lughnasadh is earth, representing the fertile soil that nourishes the crops. Offerings for the festival may include grains, fruits, and bread, as well as herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and sage.

Overall, Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate the fruits of our labor, both literally in terms of the harvest, and metaphorically in terms of our personal growth and achievements. It is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the Earth and to honor the cycle of life and death that sustains us all. Whether you celebrate with a traditional ritual, a feast with loved ones, or a quiet moment of reflection in nature, Lughnasadh is a reminder to be grateful for the blessings that surround us and to sow the seeds of our future intentions with care and intention.

May the spirit of Lughnasadh bless you with abundance, growth, and transformation as you navigate the changing seasons of life.
