Winter Solstice was spent in and around the Llangollen area.

August has been a busy month – socially, and in terms of holidays and druidry. So at the end of August begins our stories about Lammas, Lughnasah, or Lunasa – whichever you prefer. I used to call it Lammas, but I’m coming around to the ideas of using Lunasa, as it contains a more direct … Read More “Lammas 2013 p1 – Lunasa, Lunacy and Re-balancing” »
