Welcome to Gaia! ::

I celebrate Freyfaxi and Lammas at this time of year.

I'm calling the holiday Anagantios for now, after the month it takes place in on the Coligney Calendar. It's possible that the Gauls didn't celebrate it at all, but it's sort of ingrained in my brain from other Celtic Reconstructionist paths. I usually offer prayers and songs to Brigindona and do things like inviting the goddess to the "hearth" of my home (I don't really have a hearth) and make preparations looking forward to the first arrival of spring in a few months, usually by cleaning and reorganizing my living space. If I had a hearth I would probably do something surrounding that, but unfortunately I can't have fire in my building.


What is Freyfaxi? I haven't heard of that, although I'd guess that it's connected to the harvest in some way... Or am I completely wrong about that?


Would you mind elaborating a little on this?

I celebrate Lammas too. ^^
Which reminds me...I have to get a wriggle on and plan something...

Hmm. I like to make candles for Imbolc. I also tend to make a new offering for my Bríd shrine, and prepare to unveil her and close down my Callieach shrine for the year. If I have wheat straw I make Bríd's crosses. I tend to clean up all my shrines and altars, and my magical tools and jewelry.

I need to make a new priapic wand this year. I don't know if I'll make a Bride's bed this year, since I never got out to glean new wheat in late summer.

We're still up in the air about a coven meeting or not. Weather typically makes travelling dangerous at this time of year, and unpredictable, so we usually end up not having one. If I'm at home I'll light a candle in every window, and have my own small ritual and feast.
