The Autumn Equinox has been celebrated by cultures around the world for centuries. In ancient Egypt, it was a time to honour the goddess Isis, who was associated with the harvest and the cycle of life. The Celts celebrated the Autumn Equinox as Mabon, a time to give thanks for the harvest and to prepare for the coming winter.
Lughnasadh is the festival of the Celtic god Lugh, who represents fire, light, skills and crafts. Lammas is an ancient Celtic harvest festival that is celebrated on 1st August. It is a time to give thanks for the first fruits of the harvest and to mark the beginning of the harvest season.
