Weyland’s Whey, Lughnasadh 2025 Column

Blessed Lughnasadh!

Also known as Lammas or Lughnasa. It’s a Gaelic festival that marks the start of the harvest season. Named after the god Lugh. In medieval times, huge gatherings included ceremonies, horse racing, athletic contests (think Tailteann Games. Look it up, I had to) and matchmaking. In more recent times. Lughnasadh celebrations include baking bread, feasting and community events. Some areas recognize the festival as a time for trial marriages, signifying new beginnings and partnerships. Am I the only one wondering about trial divorces as well? Might be popular…
