Lunasa Magic Reminders

The Coming of Lugh by Ella Young, illustrated by Maude Gonne, published in 1909. Note that to my knowledge Lugh was given a flaming spear, not a sword, but I do love the earth cross on his chest and his flaming hair.

Happy Lunasa! Just a reminder that a whole, languorous post on the meaning of the Lunasa holiday and how to celebrate it went out on Monday.

Make your bread! Bless it on your altars! Listen to all the music! Find your inspiration!

In celebration of the holiday, please enjoy this song below by one of my favorite Rastafarian bands, Burning Spear. Obviously, he was singing about Jah Ta Fari, not Lugh. But I like to think that the pagans can stand in solidarity with the Rastafarians, and all groups seeking liberation across the earth and beyond.

Summer Solstice Candle Spell Results

Summer Solstice Candle Spell for Founders Level Subscribers.

I have to admit, this is one of the funnest candle spells I’ve done for y’all. So I expect your results to be fun as well!

Because I was leading the retreat on the literal Summer Solstice, I brought the candles to the retreat, where they sat, nestled behind the big bouquet in the picture, while we danced and sang, and made merry.

If you look very closely to the left of the flower centerpiece (by Krystal Chang) you can see the edge of the box I was keeping your Solstice Blessing candles in for charging.

These candles were CHARGED!! …
