Cue The Enya

I haven't posted about any neo-Pagan holidays in a while, but today is Lughnasa, the harvest festival marking the end of the summer growing season and the beginning of the fall harvest.

This holiday resonates with my Enya-listening self, because I think the weather here does change around the first week of August--we get some rain and when it clears, the light is different and you can tell it's the beginning of the end of summer.

Or maybe I just need all the help I can get letting go of the warm weather. Like a Druidic 12-step program, Lughnasa gives me six weeks to come to terms with the fall equinox.
