Litha


 

As is recent tradition, Midsummer was held at Claudia & Bob’s home in beautiful Schoharie County.  Please enjoy a few pictures from a gorgeous day.  The ladies wove flower garlands for the altar, while the men sculpted Lugh the Sun God from hay.  We celebrated the longest day of the year with a gorgeous spiral dance & chanting.  Handwritten wishes and thoughts were attached to Lugh, and he was sent off to be sacrificed to the fire and onto the Otherworld.

Lughnassadh is Coming!!!

Fun and games and a little bit of ritual, gather at 1 on August 10th at Tawasentha Park. We will play at games based (loosely!) on the Irish Games where Tailtu (mother of Lugh) was honored. Possibilities are a three-legged race, pick-up sticks, and a blindfolded hunt followed by a championship round of bocce! Pot luck meals and good conversations to follow.  If interested in helping Lou to plan, please contact him at rehderweb@earthlink.net.
