Llewellyn Publications,U.S. Lughnasadh

The first of three harvest festivals, Lughnasadh represents the delight of seeing the first signs of effort beginning to pay off. It's the beginning of the culmination of summer-time's toil, and what you personally have sowed is now in the early stages of being reaped. This well-rounded introduction to the holiday comes complete with correspondences, rituals, recipes, and lore. Lughnasadh recipes include bean soup, baked bread, squash casserole, apple tart, and more; crafts include corn silk blessing wand, magical berry ink, and corn dolly.
