“When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.”

― John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace

Sean writes:

“Lugh the magician who frees the land from the corrupting gaze of the tyrant Balor.

An old name for the season between now and Samhain — Brón Trogain.

Brón Trogain means “sorrow of the land.” Why does the land grieve? Ask her.

Brón Trogain also means “birth pains of the earth” It may seem paradoxical to speak of birth in a season when things are dying back, but late summer is the season when plants are focused on bringing forth fruit and seed. Most modern Pagans think of Bealtaine as the season of fertility, but more properly speaking, it is attraction and pleasure and flowering and pollination that we experience in spring – it is autumn that the forest and field are fecund. Fecundity and fertility are the maturation of the friskiness of spring. Lughnassadh is the time of fruition but also the time the first seeds are nestled in the soil.

Three questions for the season:

What died that we might live, that we might have this harvest, and how shall we honor it?

What labor of ours will this harvest nourish that will help give life to the world to come?

What seeds shall we plant in the burned over soils that forest and meadow might grow again?”

I Ching, (Stephen Karcher version) chimes in:
