Lugh is a god of every skill and many domains, I was determined to make this the most accurate depiction of Lugh possible, based on Celtic mythology, history, and archaeology, with the generous help of Kevin MacLean, a master of mythology and Lugh in particular.
Every detail has symbolism, and his weapons and attire are historically inspired.
Lughnasa Blessings!

Juniper is known for its stimulating and mind-clearing properties and its cleansing and purification of the atmosphere. Its also known for its calming and relaxing effect on the nerves, and its sharpening of mental awareness and alertness.
When burned Juniper clears negative energies but it can also create a safe, protective, positive and healing space when that negative energy is removed.
In Scottish folk magic juniper was used to sain (bless, purify) objects, people, places and livestock. This purification process was there to remove influences that might be overlooked or to remove negative spirits. Juniper is the most used plant to sain with but Rowan was also used regularly. They would usually sain a new house by burning juniper in every room enough to fill the whole house with smoke and they would sit in the house until they coughed from the smoke, this was also done every new year as well.
Spell shells!
My coven sisters and I went to a ritual honoring the Goddess Nehalennia yesterday and were asked to bring a small offering. So I decided to try something new: spell shells!
What you need:
🐚 a shell
🐚 herbs and stones
🐚 soy- or beeswax candle
🐚 greaseproof paper
What you do:
- take you shell and place it on the greaseproof paper, hollow side up
- put in your herbs and stones
- melt and poor in your wax
- let cool
And that’s it! You have a cute little pocket spell that you can take with you or leave somewhere as an offering. You can even decorate your shell with runes or sigils to add a bit more magick! 🌙
