Shownotes

This is a re-release of last year's August Fair Folk Almanac for Patreon about the Irish festival of Lughnasadh, its mysterious history, and its afterlife in modern Irish folklore.
This is the feast of the harvest's beginning, of the shining sun, of first precious golden loaf.
In Irish, Lughnasa is a gathering for the god Lugh, who was responsible for teaching the people of Ireland how to harvest the grain, and for maintaining the four quarters of the year, with the harvest at their peak.
Music:
Intro theme: Forest March by Sylvia Woods
Instrumental track: The Dear Little Isle (air)” by Antóin Mac Gabhann & Caitlín Nic Gabhann with Brian McGrath
