As the wheel of the year truns those of us in the northen hemisphere have recently celebrated the first of the harvest festivals, sometimes called Lammas and other times celebrated as Lughnassah. Today I am sharing with you some beautiful artisan crafted items that celebrate the Celtic God Lugh.
I love the idea of these
Magical Melts from
Moonlit Herbals. What a creative way to combine multiple magical components together in a way that can be used without an open flame.
Her
Light of Lugh Magical Melts are scented with Satsuma Oranges, Cassis and Pineapple and contain soy wax, organic herbs and flowers, glitter, crystals and the highest quality essential, essence and fragrance oils.
This gives me an idea to set up a long-lasting spell or altar, honoring Lugh and the Light to last all day, bringing blessings and strength to my home.

This beautiful hand-crafted
Altar Tile featuring Lugh's shield was made by one of my favorite etsy sellers,
Paula of
The Whimsical Pixie. The detail is amazing and I love the grain accents along the edges.
This piece honors Lugh as a sovereign protector and warrior. For Paula, his shield represents ability and versatility,
attributes that have helped us survive long winters for century's.
This tile would be a beautiful seasonal accent for not just an altar but a home as well.
The Whimsical Pixie can also be found on
facebook.
This hand-sculpted pendant depicting the
Spear of Lugh crafted by
Caeruleus Lady of
Hooded Crow Crafts just jumped right off the page at me. The detail is amazing and as the paint is metallic it will shine as it moves.
There are many myths surrounding the Spear of Lugh including one that tells the spear head had to be kept in a pot of water or it would ignite and cause fire around it. This pendant surely brings to light that same fiery and powerful essence.
The talented artisans at Hooded Crow Craft would be happy to work with anyone to create a beautiful and meaningful pendant to honor their own gods. Such work makes my hear joyful.

Mickie Muller is one of my favorite artists when it comes to laying the might and majesty of the Gods onto canvas and paper. I am familiar with her
main shop offering various items with her artwork on them but I have just found out that she is also the creator of a Celtic Ogham Divination Oracle called
Voice of the Trees. This is SO cool. No really... SO COOL!
In her
Voice of the Trees shop you can find prints, mugs, tarot bags, mirrors and home decor with the deep and meaningful images representing the Trees of the Ogham.
Today I chose to share with you a beautiful
wall candle sconce depicting Lugh for the card of
Ash. This card represents transformation and action, breaking inertia and taking care of business. I wish all of us the power of this card in the months ahead!
You can also find Mickie at her
blog and her
art website.
Have a great Friday everyone!
