Lughnasadh

Though it were just this single tongue
That bent to sing the praises
Of Luck, his skills, forever young,
Could not help but amaze us.

When asked his craft, the crafts he had
Were listed for the sentry.
’Twas numberless they were, full glad
The gods to grant him entry

And so it later was when need
Arose and king was lamed
That he it was stepped forth to lead
And was the one they named.

For Luck in all things did excel:
In chess, in war, in song—
And still today, when all goes well
Is when he tags along.

Lughnasadh is an ancient Gaelic festival celebrated on August 1st, marking the beginning of the harvest season and celebrating the Sun God Lugh.

As a harvest festival we will be opening the doors a little early for more social time before we circle round to celebrate. Doors open at 4 with potluck. Ritual will begin at 6. Ritual garb encouraged but never required. Drums and instruments and noise makers are very welcome for this holiday, Lugh was after all a musician.

Please plan to park on adjacent streets. Bring a dish and/or beverage to share in the potluck as you are able, but as always we would rather you be with us either way.
