		Since this is Lughnassadh (Pronounced Loo-na-sah) / Lammas eve, I think it appropriate to post here a basic background on the celebration of Lughnassadh, not it's Christian assimilated counter part, Lammas.
		During this time of year, the festival of Lughnassadh is celebrated by a massive portion of the Pagan population worldwide.
		The word "nassadh" in historical context means a "commemoration" which most scholars accept as meaning a "solemn occasion." It is also important to note that Lughnassadh is also associated with Lugh's consort, Taillte (Rosmerta.) Thus, the true meaning of the Celebration of Lughnassadh is more akin to the other harvest festivals.
