1 Lughnasadh Lughnasadh August 1, 2021 Lughnasadh is a harvest festival of the Celts, and is one of the cross-quarter days, halfway between a solstice and an equinox. While not a Roman festival, it is a common day for public pagan celebration. Emphasis in ritual lies with reaping the fruits of prior labor, and achieving that which was previously planned. In ritual, make use of harvest symbols and tools, and emphasize the hard work already done, and the hard work still ahead... while noticing the achievements of the previous year.

8	9	10	11	12 Lights of Isis Lights of Isis August 12, 2021 The Feast of the Lights of Isis recalls a story associated with this Egyptian goddess's search for her butchered and drowned husband Osiris. As her tears fell into the Nile, they became silver lamps, which ran aground on sandbars and in shallow water. Thus they lighted the way for sailors and bargemen on the river, and Isis became the first keeper of lighthouses. In ritual today, consider the role of lighthouses and guideposts of various sorts in your spiritual and magical journeys. How does Light warn us from dangerous shoals, and guide us into deeper streams that carry us to greater destinations?

Later, she became the mistress of magic, and gradually altered from the maiden to the crone. In Roman lore, she became associated with Atropos, the scissor-wielding elder of the three Fates. Today in ritual and meditation, consider the role of 'death' and cutting forces in leading us on our spiritual path, and also note how aging transforms us from upstart and wild youths to beings of maturity and power.

22	23 Hephaestus & Nymphs Hephaestus & Nymphs August 23, 2021 Hephaestus (Vulcan in Roman parlance) was the god of the forge and by extension all crafts and arts of physical labor. The nymphs, usually understood as feminine sprites or wild faeries, were associated with arts such as spinning and weaving and pottery. In ritual, consider the value of beautiful and well-made things. If Hephaestus represents brute engineering, then the nymphs represent elegant design. Let your work with groups and alone today reflect the essential tension and beauty apparent in the relationship between those two capabilities. See more details •	24	25	26	27	28
