I realized (okay, I already knew this, I think I was consciously forgetting it) that if I want the next Lake Effect (local pagan newsletter) out on time I have to get a lot of it ready before we leave, because I'll only have a couple of days once we get back. So I've been working on that. Luckily it's small, so I think a general piece on different harvest holidays and one on Lugh ("Putting Lugh Back into Lughnasadh"--but I'll refrain from being too obnoxious about that one :)) should do me. I think I'm supposed to be getting some poetry in as well, so will leave room for that when it arrives.

What I'd like to include is something about Finnish paganism--with our large Finnish population, I think that would be of interest to folks--but I haven't managed to find any decent resources on it yet.

And I made a blueberry pie (it's Dan's birthday and he doesn't like cake) today with some help from younger daughter.

The girls are playing the Sims on the PS2 this afternoon--actually elder daughter has convinced younger daughter to torment the little virtual creatures by removing doors and so forth. Generally she just likes building stuff.

Jen and I did that to an unwanted child the other day. We laugh and call him "The child who shall remain nameless". LOL

And yeah, it deeply disturbed me, but had to be done.

LOL! I'm not sure where they got the idea from, it's kind of twisted, which would bother me less if they were older, for some reason.

"Putting Lugh Back into Lughnasadh"--but I'll refrain from being too obnoxious about that one :)

Okay, I'll bite. What's the deal about Lughnasadh? (And does it piss you off if somebody calls it Lammas? ;))

[hearthstone.livejournal.com]

Oh no, folks can call it whatever they want as far as I'm concerned (and if you're not honoring Lugh himself, Lammas might be a better name to use). It's just going to be a brief profile of the god himself (it will have to be brief, as I don't know the Celtic gods all that well). Just with a title like that, there would be room for obnoxiousness (obnoxicity? :)).

Ah, okay. I'd seen someone else with "Keep Lugh in Lughnasadh!" in their sig and wondered if it was tongue-in-cheek or some kind of actual movement.

AFAIK it's just tongue-in-cheek--that was all I had in mind was the play on words thing
