“Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep, deep, woods, and I’d look up into the sky–up–up–up–into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I’d just feel a prayer.”
— Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery
"Out of Gorias was brought the Spear that Lug had. No battle was ever won against it or him who held it in his hand." The youthful Lugh Mac Ethlinn was a king and warrior of the Tuatha Dé, renown for his great skill in all manner of disciplines, which earned him the epithet Samildánach (master of every art). Among his many powerful artifacts, Lugh was said to possess a deadly magical spear that made him undefeatable in battle. Based on historical Bronze Age Irish spearheads, this design features three major art styles found in Ireland: Neolithic spirals, Iron Age La Tène motifs, and Medieval knotwork. The name "Sleg Lug" is written in Brecor Beo, a variant of the ogham alphabet from the Book of Ballymote.

Cedar
Recently I found myself drawn to the magical power of the cedar tree. By recently, I mean for the past 3 years. Something about cedar just spoke to me and I didn't understand why, but I new that it was my protector and mentor.
It wasn't until today that I remembered that I was introduced to the cedar tree in elementary school. Going to a school called Cedarmere, named after the surrounding trees. It was probably the first tree I learned about outside of the pine tree. I remember getting to know the trees and thinking it was so cool how big they were. I can't believe I forgot about these small moments of connection with this tree. It kinda explains this need to reconnect. I'm sure there is more ancestral reasons to love this tree, but today, I will remember our past friendship.

Brighid is an embrace that ends with the gifting of a sword. She is the morning greeting from the cat, the steam coming off the pot of soup, the vibrations humming from the crystal. She is the fluttering of pages and the smell of wet ink. She is red hair and a green dress with hot-iron burn marks–she is cadence and comfort and coal-sparks lighting the night.
If you travel up to the middle of nowhere in the UK, you might be lucky enough to find the remnants of a long lost people. (5413x3609)

If you don’t mind me asking, is your blog safe and welcoming for trans people? I would love to follow more Gaelpol blogs but I’ve had trouble knowing whether some blogs are safe for me as a nonbinary person. I love the content you seem to make but couldn’t find a sign you were or weren’t pro-lgbtq and etc. so I just wanted to double check. Btw, hope you had a good Lúnasa last month ❤️
My blog is welcoming to all who wish to immerse themselves in Gaelic Polytheist beliefs. Maybe I shall make a post about myself and this blog in the near future.
On another note, 2021 Lughnasadh was extraordinary; I hope yours was as well!
