Lughnasadh arrives when the Sun reaches 15° Leo—the height of summer's power, when the first grain harvest begins. Named for the Celtic god Lugh, this is a gateway of skill, mastery, and the fruits of sustained effort. The work you've done is ready to be gathered.

This cross-quarter day asks: what have you mastered this year? What skills have you honed, what craft has matured? Lughnasadh celebrates not just abundance but competence—the satisfaction of work well done. It also carries a note of sacrifice: to harvest is to end the growing. Honor what must be cut to be claimed.
