Lughnasadh vs Lammas: The Truth About the First Harvest Festival

Was Lughnasadh really an ancient Celtic fire festival, and is it actually the same celebration as Lammas? In this video, I separate historical evidence from modern Pagan reconstruction. I explore the medieval Irish assemblies associated with Lugh and Tailtiu, the English Christian origins of the Lammas loaf-mass, the folklore collected by Máire MacNeill, and how Wicca brought these distinct traditions together on the modern Wheel of the Year. Join me if you are interested in Paganism, witchcraft, occultism, Celtic religion or harvest festivals, and discover how we can celebrate the season meaningfully without mistaking modern mythology for ancient fact.
