$Lughnasadh\/Harvest Celebration (6-7pm)$

Please join the Greenlake Grove in Seattle at north Greenlake to celebrate the rite of Lughnasadh. All those of good intention are welcome, regardless of experience or affiliation.
From the order of Bards Ovates and Druids:
On or around the 1st August in the northern hemisphere, 1st February in the southern, Lughnasadh is celebrated as the first of two harvest festivals, the second being Alban Elfed (the Autumn Equinox).
At Lughnasadh we see the fields of corn being cut, and for some this is the true time of the festival. In the fields John Barleycorn, who laid with the Lady in the woods at Beltane, has grown old, and now stands bent and bearded with a crooked cane. He looks to the Sun as he has changed from green to gold, and he known that his time has come. His life will feed the people, and it is this sacrifice that we honour at Lughnasadh.
