Spring equinox marks a powerful turning point in our year.

Lammas is traditionally celebrated on August 1st, and it is the first of three harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. It is also known as Lughnasadh (pronounced loo-NOSS-ah), as on this day some traditions celebrate Lugh, the Celtic warrior god of grain and the Sun.
