The first of three harvest festivals, Lughnasadh represents the delight of seeing the first signs of effort beginning to pay off. Its the beginning of the culmination of summer-times 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. n
