The 2019 Lammas Ritual and Games will focus on the Irish myth of Lugh as he presents himself at the gate of Tara before Nuada, on the eve of battle with the Formorians to take back the kingship of Ireland. Our writer and RE director has taken a few liberties with versions of the story to keep it in line with the rituals and crafts she has been teaching the children in the Pagan Family Connection and Tween & Teen groups.
Games, Vendors, Ritual, Picnicking, fun for all ages!
