I like the word “witchery” because of its linguistic similarity to “fuckery.” Witchcraft is fuckery; fuckery is witchcraft. They are inextricably connected in my mind and it makes me happy.

Important Facts about Lughnasadh from an Irish Celtic Reconstructionist
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spelling and Pronunciation
OI. Lughnasadh (Loo-na-sa), sometimes spelled Lughnasa or Modern Irish Lúnasa. Not to be confused with other harvest festivals like Lammas.
Dates
Most reconstructionists celebrate Lughnasadh on July 31st - August 1st from sundown to sundown by the Gregorian calendar, while others choose to celebrate the transitional period between the months as they would have been by the Julian calendar (about 13 days later by the Gregorian calendar).
Traditionally this festival likely would have happened as the grains were ready for harvesting or possibly even when the wild bilberries were ripe (as some scholars mention that if the grains were not ripe they would still preform a ritualized ‘first harvesting’ but it is possible this tradition came after the festival was firmly tied to a calendar date.)
Importance in the Mythos
In the mythologies it is well documented that this festival coincides with Lugh’s funeral games in honor of his foster-mother Tailtiu, known as Aonach Tailteann. In the mythologies she is said to have died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agricultural needs. The first documented instance of Lughnasadh in the mythologies was in the Wooing of Emer, Tochmarc Emire, which makes sense given the importance of marriages at this time of the year. It is not known specifically but widely speculated that the curse of the Ulstermen by Macha took place at a horse race for this festival.
In later time periods it is common to see a form of struggle, normally between the ‘protective’ forces and ‘destructive’ forces. The modern equivalent being the struggle between Saint Patrick and Crom Dubh but this is likely a reflection of an early struggle between Lugh and Balor (which I previously mentioned in my info-dump on Bealtaine).
Celebration Traditions
Aonachs, funeral games, have (to the best of our knowledge) been a custom in Ireland since the bronze age and were practiced on and off into the middle ages. They had both personal and community functions and occurred in three stages. Stage one was the funeral proceedings themselves. They would last one to three days, likely depending on the importance of the individual in question. Mourning songs and chants were participated in by both the attendees and the Druids. The second stage was for proclaiming of laws. Aonachs were a time when universal peace between túaths was declared. The third stage was that of Cuiteach Fuait, games that tested mental and physical abilities. These games included the well known horse and chariot races, wrestling games, boxing, high jumps but also competitions in strategy, singing, story telling and between various skilled craftsmen.
It was incredibly common for marriages to be arranged and preformed during this festival. More well known ‘trial marriages’ (lasting a year and a day) were still preformed at this festival up until the 13th century. It is likely that the coupling occurring at this time of year had an effect on the relationship to births seen at Imbolg (which falls 9 months later).
MacNeill, a leading scholarly expert on the festival, notes that a ritualistic bull sacrifice was made at this festival and the bull would then be eaten. I could not find any definitive evidence to support the idea, but I think it was likely that bulls in general would be culled from the herd at this point in the year to supply the feast.

LUGHNASADH SWEET CORNBREAD
Unlike regular cornbread, this is a more southern-style cornbread that's a lot sweeter than cornbread. But really good!
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
A splash of cream
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
Pinch of sea salt
For The Honey Butter:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. In a separate bowl mix butter, sugar, and honey together. Then, whisk in your eggs, cream, and buttermilk.
Pour dry ingredients in increments to wet ingredients until just combined making sure not to overmix. Pour into a buttered and floured baking dish.
Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick/knife comes out clean when stuck in the middle. This was just will my oven so cook times could be different when it comes to you. Make sure after 30 minutes, you check every 10 minutes.
To make your honey butter just combine your melted butter with honey and mix.
Serve in squares and top with honey butter and a tab of salted butter on top.
Enjoy! Have a blessed Lughnasadh!

I have a question about Deities that you can TELL weren't brought into existence by you, but take on a form of fictional media that you hyperfixate on?
Hyper-fixation vs 'Real Deities'
Heya anon~♥
The term you might be looking for is Pop Culture Paganism or the inclusion of popular culture into your practice. I have my own hyper-fixations and moods that I go through with my path so I'll speak from my place and hope that it translates well enough ^^); b There are forms of media that mean everything to me. Things that have helped form the very basis of who I shaped up to be. Through these medias I was able to define my very sense of self and I feel a deep connection towards them. In a way they are anchors to me, holding me together. Tethers to the parts of myself that I don't want to lose.
There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with adding your pop culture fixations to your craft or to your path as your path helps to define you as a whole. These medias that you enjoy help to define you too. You see yourself in the characters, their struggles, their triumphs; their stories. It is natural to want and crave those characteristics for yourself, add them to your path or even celebrate them.
Ancient Greeks wanted the Strength of Ares, the Wisdom of Athena, the Beauty of Aphrodite. Were they not also stories that were told and are still told to this day? One of my personal beliefs for Pop Culture Paganism and the worship of Pop Culture entities as deities is that you just have to believe. Belief is part of what makes the magic real, what makes it happen.
Tumblr media
-oOo-
Pop Culture MAGIC is something a little different but I do that over on my @pokemonmagic account more where I would utilize Pokemon for all the magical aspects they can provide to my craft as a whole~!
Some more great links and discussions about these topics can be found with these lovely people's posts!

Kitchen Magic: Chive Infused Vinegar
Tumblr media
Chives are a wonderful but underused ally to the witch who works in the garden and in the kitchen. They are an easy herb to grow - far easier to manage than its other allium cousins, onion or garlic, and they can produce all season long with a bit of care. Plus, like the other alliums, they convey the magical properties of protection and hex-breaking which are always welcome in a witch's home.
Here in Southern New England, the first shoots of chives break ground in late April or early May and they are ready to harvest by the end of May or early June. We try to wait until they have flowered for the first time to harvest and then we cut them back to about 1 inch. This can be done every two to three months throughout your harvest season giving you a near-endless supply of herb to use in your kitchen and in your magic.
Tumblr media
We cut up the green shoots and store them in the fridge where they can be added to any dish that you might use onion but the flowers - oh, they are a treasure all their own! They can be put into salads for a spicy flower treat or added to dishes as an edible garnish but I wanted to share with you my secret for preserving the beautiful flavor of chive: chive blossom-infused vinegar.
If you've been hanging around for a while, you might have caught on that I love using long-form infusions in my witch work. Stored safely in a ball jar, you can infuse your intentions into your work over and over again as you return to it daily to shake the contents. Then, depending on your intention, you can charge the final product with any number of things (sunlight, moonlight, candles, insert your favorite method here) to finalize your ingredient. This can then go into further spellwork or be used as-is.
Tumblr media
Making chive vinegar is easy: harvest and wash your chive flowers. You want to use flowers that are opened but not at the seed phase yet. You can add in some greens, too, if you want, but this is not necessary. Add your chive blossoms to a sealable jar (I prefer ball-styled jars for this purpose but a reused jar will do so long as it seals well) and top with white vinegar. I use about twice as much vinegar as chive blossoms but you can add more or less - just make sure that your blossoms are submerged. Put your vinegar in a space out of the direct sun and let it sit for three weeks - return to it daily (or as often as you remember) to give it a good shake.
After the three weeks is up, strain out the chives parts and store the vinegar in a pourable container - you might want to use one that see-through because it is the most beautiful color pink.
Tumblr media
There are so many ways that you could use chive vinegar. You can use it to quick pickle things or in a salad dressing. You can clean with it if you think that your house needs hex-breaking and/or protection. Mix one tablespoon of vinegar in with the water when you wash your floors or use it as is to wash windows or mirrors. You could add some into bathwater to create a hex-breaking bath.
Or, how about a combination of all three? Clean yourself (internally and externally) AND clean your house.
Do you like my work? You can support me over on KoFi by tipping me, purchasing an astrology report, or buying some of my art.

The Summer Solstice: Embracing Litha, Alban Hefin, and Midsummer
Tumblr media
The Summer Solstice, also known as Litha, Alban Hefin, or Midsummer, is one of the most significant and ancient celebrations in pagan and Druidic calendars. This festival marks the longest day of the year, a time when the sun is at its peak and the Earth is brimming with life and energy. Let’s delve deeper into the origins of this enchanting celebration and explore ways to honor and celebrate it with joy and reverence.
The Origins of Litha, Alban Hefin, and Midsummer
Litha is a term derived from the Old English word "liða," referring to the gentle and warm months of summer. The term was popularized by modern Pagan and Wiccan traditions to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Litha is a time to honor the sun, the Earth’s fertility, and the abundance of life. The festival itself draws from ancient Anglo-Saxon traditions where midsummer was a significant period for community gatherings and celebrating the peak of agricultural productivity.
Alban Hefin, meaning "Light of the Shore" or "Light of Summer" in Welsh, is the Druidic name for the Summer Solstice. The Druids, who were the priestly class in ancient Celtic cultures, held profound respect for nature and its cycles. For the Druids, Alban Hefin was a time to celebrate the power and life-giving energy of the sun. The Celts believed that the sun was at the height of its power and used this time to seek blessings for fertility, health, and prosperity. The festival also symbolized the balance and interconnectedness of life, as the sun’s peak also marked the turning point towards the darker half of the year.
Midsummer has deep roots in European traditions, pre-dating Christianity. In ancient agricultural societies, Midsummer was celebrated as a pivotal time of the year. The Celts, Norse, and many other cultures held feasts, bonfires, and various rituals to honor the height of summer and to ensure a bountiful harvest. The Christian church later adopted and adapted many Midsummer traditions, aligning them with the feast of St. John the Baptist on June 24th. Despite this, many of the original pagan customs have survived and continue to be practiced today.
​Celebrating Litha, Alban Hefin, and Midsummer Celebrating this time of year can be a joyful and enriching experience, filled with traditions and activities that honor the sun, the Earth, and the cycles of nature. Here are some ways to celebrate Litha, Alban Hefin, or Midsummer:
Rise with the Sun
Start the day by watching the sunrise. Find a beautiful natural setting, such as a hilltop or a beach, and gather with loved ones to greet the sun. Reflect on its energy and the light it brings into your life. Ancient Druids would often gather at sacred sites like Stonehenge, where the sunrise aligns perfectly with the stones.
Create a Sun Altar
Build an altar dedicated to the sun. Use yellow, gold, and orange decorations, candles, and sun symbols. Adorn the altar with seasonal flowers, herbs, and fruits. This can be a focal point for meditation, offerings, and reflection throughout the day. The altar can also include representations of the sun gods and goddesses from various cultures, such as Ra, Apollo, or Helios.
Host a Midsummer Feast
Prepare a feast using fresh, seasonal produce. Include dishes made from fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are abundant at this time of year. Share the meal outdoors if possible, basking in the warmth of the sun. Incorporate traditional foods such as honey, bread, and mead. In ancient times, communities would come together to share in the bounty of the harvest, strengthening communal bonds.
Light a Bonfire
Bonfires are a central element of Midsummer celebrations. Fire symbolizes the sun's power and its life-giving energy. Gather around the fire with friends and family, sing songs, share stories, and enjoy the communal warmth. Jumping over the bonfire is a traditional practice believed to bring good luck and purification. This custom dates back to ancient times when fire was seen as a protective and purifying force.
Engage in Nature Activities
Spend time in nature, appreciating its beauty and abundance. Go for a hike, have a picnic, swim in a natural body of water, or simply relax in a sunlit meadow. Encourage children to create nature crafts, such as flower crowns or sun catchers. In many cultures, gathering herbs and flowers at Midsummer is believed to be particularly potent for healing and magic.
Hold a Solstice Ritual
Conduct a simple ritual to honor the Solstice. This can include lighting candles, reciting poems or prayers, and making offerings to the Earth and the sun. Reflect on your personal growth and set intentions for the coming months. Druids might conduct rituals that include offerings to the spirits of the land and prayers for protection and prosperity.
Meditate and Reflect
Use this time for personal meditation and reflection. Find a quiet spot in nature or near your sun altar. Meditate on themes of light, growth, and balance. Contemplate your journey so far and the path ahead, embracing the energy of the sun to inspire and guide you. The Solstice is a powerful time for setting new goals and letting go of what no longer serves you.
Celebrate with Music and Dance
Music and dance are integral parts of many Midsummer celebrations. Play instruments, sing, and dance around the bonfire or in an open field. Create a playlist of uplifting, sun-themed songs to enjoy throughout the day. Traditional dances, such as the Morris dance in England, are often performed to celebrate the vitality of summer.
Plant a Solstice Garden
Start a garden to symbolize growth and renewal. Plant herbs, flowers, or vegetables that thrive in the summer sun. Involve children in planting and caring for the garden, teaching them about the cycles of nature and the importance of nurturing life. Herbs such as St. John's Wort, traditionally harvested at Midsummer, are believed to have powerful healing properties.
Litha, Alban Hefin, and Midsummer are times of celebration, reflection, and connection. These traditions, rooted in ancient practices, offer a way to honor the sun, the Earth, and the cycles of life. By gathering with friends and family, creating meaningful rituals, and spending time in nature, you can embrace the spirit of the Solstice and carry its light within you throughout the year. Celebrate with joy, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for the abundant gifts of the season.

Honor the Sun: Summer Solstice ☀️
As the warm rays of the sun envelope us, we find ourselves at the Summer Solstice, also known as Litha or Midsummer. This holiday celebrates the sun’s power. 
Tumblr media
Summer Solstice is observed on June 21, 2023. This is the longest day of the year, and the shortest night. Litha is about the power of the sun. Before we welcome the dark side of the year, we acknowledge the peak of the solar year. 
Many see Litha as a time of balance between light and dark, masculine and feminine energies, and our realm and the other. It’s a time to connect with nature, and enjoy the company of others.
The sun is shining the brightest on this day, symbolizing the peak of light and the triumph of the sun over darkness. The warmth of the sun gives us a sense of renewed strength and inspiration. It’s a reminder to embrace the abundance of beauty and nature surrounding us.
The Anglo-Saxons brought Litha with them to the British Isles when they settled in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Celts celebrated Litha, with the planting season just passing and wanting to call in a great harvest. It was essential to appease the solar Gods in some way. They would have hilltop bonfires and dancing. Many people would jump over the bonfires for good luck.
Many cultures have honored Gods and Goddesses of the Sun. These deities can be worshiped during Litha.
Some traditions believe in the battle of light and dark, where the Oak King and Holly King fight for control. During each Solstice, they battle for power and the balance shifts. The Oak King, who represents daylight, rules from the Winter Solstice to Litha. During this time, the day steadily gets longer. During Litha, when the Holly King wins, the days get darker until Yule.
Litha Correspondences:
Key Words: Warmth, Manifestation, Love, Light, Fertility, Unity, Success, Strength
Symbols: Sun, Flowers, Trees, Mushrooms, Honey, Bees
Herbs & Plants: Chamomile, Lavender, St. John’s Wort, Rosemary, Sunflowers, Daisy, Oranges
Colors: Gold, Green, Light Blue, Orange, Pink
Animals: Bees, Cows, Horses, Dragonfly, Songbirds
Tumblr media
How to Celebrate Litha:
For most modern-day Pagans, Litha is a day of inner power and brightness. Fire rituals and barbecues are a common way to celebrate. This holiday celebrates Earth’s abundance and personal power. 
Decorate the House and your altar. Adorn your altar with symbols of the sun, flowers, herbs and items that represent Litha. Some ideas: gold objects or coins, yellow and white flowers, lavender, circular items, symbols of the sun, seasonal flowers, fruits or crops (strawberries, sunflowers), citrus fruits.
Gather loved ones for a Litha feast, abundant with seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs. Having a summer barbecue counts! Savor the flavors of the Earth’s bounty and share in the joy of community. As you dine, express gratitude to the land for the nourishment.
Kindling a bonfire is a time-honored tradition of Litha. Traditionally, people stayed up all night on Midsummer’s Eve to welcome and watch the sunrises. Bonfires were lit on tops of hills and at sacred places to honor the Sun. A bonfire represents the Sun at the peak of its strength. People danced and leaped around them. Coals from the Midsummer fire were scattered on the fields to ensure good harvest. Today, you can gather friends and family to hold a Midsummer Night’s Fire Ritual. Celebrate the season with a big bonfire and form a circle around the dancing flames. As the fire crackles, offer gratitude for the sun’s life-giving energy. Release any burdens of negativity into the fire, allowing the power of flames to cleanse or renew your spirit. In addition, you can write these things down and burn them in the fire to symbolically let go of what is no longer serving you.
If you prefer spending your time alone this Summer Solstice, there are plenty of small ways you can celebrate.
Craft a beautiful flower crown using vibrant blossoms or herbs that correlate to the holiday. Wear it as a symbol of your connection to nature.
Take a stroll through a blooming garden, a lush forest, or a sunkissed meadow. Listen to the melody of a birdsong, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the majesty of nature. Allow yourself to be in the present moment, embracing the interconnectedness of all beings. Gather flowers, herbs, or stones that resonate with you to use in rituals or as decoration.
Meditate about the light and dark forces in the world or in yourself. Find ways that you can bring more lightness into your life and get in touch with the joyful parts of life. Journal, do yoga, practice self-care or take a walk. Stargazing is another way to reflect on yourself.
Focus on your goals and nurture your intentions. You should see results in the harvest season. 
Find a natural body of water such as a river, lake or ocean and immerse yourself in the waters, or at least a part of your body. As you do this, visualize negative energies or emotions being washed away. Offer a prayer of gratitude to the water element for its purifying properties. 
Cast spells of fruition. It’s a great time for spells of success, abundance, love, purification, protection and parenthood.
This celebration beckons us to embrace the power of the sun and revel in the abundance of the summer season. Celebrate life, growth, and the eternal cycle of nature. May the blessings of Litha fill our hearts with warmth and inspiration through the year!
