What do bread blessings, hilltop fairs, and a Celtic god of light have in common? In this video, I explore the real history of Lammas and Lughnasadh, the first harvest festival in the Pagan Wheel of the Year. Drawing on peer-reviewed scholarship and historical sources, I trace the festivalโ€™s roots in ancient Celtic rites, its Christian transformation into Loaf Mass, and its creative revival in modern Paganism. Join me as I unpack the myths, magic, and meanings behind this rich seasonal tradition.
