    About this series

    ierne (Morrighan Corvidae) of Glas Celli presents a short handbook to introduce traditional pagan information, ritual, meal plan and activities for new pagan families celebrating Samhain.

    Samhain, also known as Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Festival of the Dead, La Samhna, Feast of All Souls, Samana and Fire Festival, is the final of the three harvest Sabbats. It is at this time of year that the livestock is sorted, and those to be butchered are chosen and separated from the rest of the brood.

    Samhain is the time of year during which we honor our dead; the ancestors, the friends, all those that have gone through the veil to the Undying lands. We welcome them back into our homes at this time when the veil between worlds is thinnest.

      ierne (Morrighan Corvidae) of Glas Celli presents a short handbook to introduce traditional pagan information, ritual, meal plan and activities for new pagan families. Yule, also known as Saturnalia, Alban Huan, Sol, and Midwinter, is celebrated at the winter solstice, on or around December 21st. It is the time of darkness, and yet a returning of the light. The night of the solstice is the longest period of darkness each year; with the breaking of dawn, the light returns a little more each day, until the summer solstice in June. It is now that the Oak King returns to defeat the Holly King, symbolically replacing the aging deity with a younger, stronger self. The son replacing the father to become the son once more, the circle of life - the wheel of the year - facilitated by the Great Mother. She has given us her greatest gift, and in exchange, we honor both herself, and her son.

      Also known as Candlemas, Brigid's Fire, Oimelc, Lupercalia and—here in North America—Groundhog's Day, this Sabbat is celebrated on the 2nd of February. The rituals surrounding this day evoke light, fire, hearth, health, cleansing and crafting. Though the nights have been getting shorter since Yule, it's only after Imbolc that it truly becomes noticeable. In some places, the weather has already begun to warm, with the first rains of spring melting snow and baring the earliest flowering buds.

      Beltaine is also known as Baal Tinne, Beltane, Bel's Fire, Cet Samhain, Mayday, Tana Festiva, or Walpurgisnacht, and is generally celebrated on or about the first of May. In many cultures, Beltaine celebrates the beginning of the growing season with the plowing and planting of fields. Fertile ground accepting the seed of new life; the coming together and mating of Mother Earth and Father Sun, resulting in the conception of the young god, the cycle having come full course.

      Also known as Midsummer, Summer Solstice and Alban Hefin, Litha generally falls in the third week of June, usually between the 17 and 23 of the month. It is the time of the longest day of the year – after this, each day becomes progressively shorter until Yule – the longest night of the year. Traditionally, this is a great time to harvest wild or cultivated young herbs to stock your magickal pantry. Young plants have a great energy, and are far more likely to recover quickly from a small harvesting. One must request the permission of the Goddess and of the spirit of the plant itself. Gently take hold of the plant or branch, and politely ask if the spirit will share its bounty. You'll know, trust me, if you receive permission.

      Lughnasadh, also known as Hlaf-mass (Loaf-mass), August Eve, Tailltean Games, Lammas, and Harvest Home, is named for the Celtic God of fire and sun, Lugh. It is the beginning of the end of summer, of the growing season, and marks the first harvest of grain, garden and orchard. It is one of the cross-quarter festivals, a Great Fire festival, where bonfires are lit to give strength to the aging sun.

      Ostara is also known as the Vernal or Spring Equinox, Eostre, Alban Eiber, Bacchanalia, Lady Day, and Festival of Trees. It is celebrated on or about March 20-23, depending on the lunar cycle. The Vernal Equinox is the official first day of spring, exactly six weeks since Imbolc, so really it doesn’t matter whether or not the Groundhog saw his shadow; spring officially begins now. The light and dark, feminine and masculine are equal; the energies of earth, sky, water and air are balanced perfectly.

      ierne (Morrighan Corvidae) of Glas Celli presents a short handbook to introduce traditional pagan information, ritual, meal plan and activities for new pagan families celebrating Mabon. Mabon, also known as Alban Elfed, Harvest Home, and Second Harvest, is celebrated at the Autumnal Equinox which generally falls between the 21st and 23rd of September. The autumnal equinox is the time of pagan thanksgiving, and we celebrate it in a similar manner. We give thanks for the wealth of the harvest, for the summer past, and ask boons for the winter ahead.
