A little pretty story for Celebrate this Day 🌞 #Sabbat #Lammas #Lugnasad #Lughnasadh #Lughnasa #LammasNight #Lammastide #WheelOfTheYear ⭐ In a dark land in the corners of Ireland, land governed by the Fomoire, those old gods, arcane and immortal of death and night. Sponsored her steps one by one by the crows, the sorceress in her glass vessel full of souls, escorted the King Balar, a dreaded king, a king without a crown, with one eye on the forehead and another on the nape. Balor Balcbéimnech lived in the air of war, murdered for pleasure and devoured the souls of the old kings fallen in combat, being the best known of these, Nuada, the king of the Tuatha Dé Dannan. The dreaded King thought himself invincible, until a mighty druid saw in the future that the king of demons would be killed by his own blood, his offspring, and forgotten until the end of time. Fearful of the destined end, Balor locked in a tower of twelve stories, with twelve doors next to twelve maidens, his only daughter, Ethne. In order to avoid fulfilling the fate seen in the stars by the old seer of the forest. disguised as old women, a noble blacksmith and a fairy entered the tower, they silenced the doors and slept the maidens, all except Ethne the beautiful daughter of the deceived king. Nine moons passed and just between the summer Solstice and the autumnal equinox, three babies saw the new moon was born at dusk, two babies were drowned by the hand of their grandfather, but one grew under the care of His father, the noble blacksmith. The noble blacksmith, whose brothers had been murdered by Balor in the past, raised the young man as a humble blacksmith, without knowing his destiny in greatness, the young blacksmith, craftsman, magician and carpenter, He seeks to avenge the death of His uncles and the remembered King Nuada. And with a rod reddened in fire, he pierce the eye of the neck of Balor, finally murdering the dreaded king of the demons, granting freedom to his mother and peace to the fallen soldiers. In honor of the brave hero, the Celts gave their name to the Month of Lunasa (August), and every August 1, they and us celebrate the festival of Lammas, Lugnasad or Lughnasadh. All this in honor of the God named Lug, who defeated evil and became King of the World, who every month of Lunasa, spills his blessings on the farms that feed us. #Sabbat #Lammas #Lugnasad #Lughnasadh #Lughnasa #LammasNight #Lammastide #WheelOfTheYear . . . . . #Pagan #Pagans #PagansofInstagram #Paganworld #Paganfolk #Pagangods #Paganism #Wicca #Wiccan #Wiccans #WiccansofInstagram #Heathen #SpiritsoftheNature #Spirits #Nature
