Lúnasa Meditation:
Today marks the next festival on the "Wheel of the Year". It is now high summer and Lúnasa is the celebration of this first Grain Harvest, a time for gathering in and giving thanks for abundance. Our Goddess here is Áine, who presides over the moon, crops, farms and cattle. Aine is revered among Irish herbalists and healers and is said to be responsible for the body's life force. |

Celtic Inspiration:
This is the first of the Harvest festivals and decorations of gold, orange and red are suitable, together with green. You might like to include natural objects: corn and wheat, ripe crops of beans or salads, pretty stones and seashells from days at the beach all make evocative decorations. Bowls of fruit or a cornucopia are both lovely touches, as is a simple wooden bowl of berries and wildflowers, to honour the earth goddess. (Danu Forest) |

A Message from Lugh:
There are no easy choices, but we have never had more choice. All 'Greener' products and service use should facilitate conscious effort to change, limit consumption patterns and put the natural environment and society above individual gratification. It's not about feeling bad about living, for you will find much enjoyment in living a more examined simpler, slower life. |

"Fire in the Head" by Tom Cowan:
In 'The Song of Wandering Aengus' William Butler Yeats refers to the ‘fire in the head’ that characterises the visionary experience. Tom Cowan has pursued this theme in a lyrical cross-cultural exploration of shamanism and the Celtic imagination that examines the myths and tales of the ancient Celtic poets and storytellers, and outlines techniques used to access the shaman's world. Tom Cowan is the author of ‘How to Tap Into Your Own Genius’, and coauthor of ‘Power of the Witch’ and ‘Love Magic’. |

Climate change IPCC report is 'code red for humanity', UN scientists say - BBC News
Heating from humans has caused irreparable damage to the Earth that may get worse in coming decades, a UN climate report has concluded. Humanity's damaging impact on the climate is a "statement of fact", UN scientists have found in unprecedented research combining more than 14,000 studies. The past five years have been the hottest on record since 1850. Extremes including heatwaves have become more frequent and more intense since the 1950s, while cold events have become less frequent and less severe. The authors also show that a rise in sea levels approaching 2m by the end of this century "cannot be ruled out".

Celtic Living for the 21st Century:
The average school lunchbox contains multiple individually wrapped items, and where does the wrapping end up? In the bin. Lets change this starting today. Start by assembling all the re-usable food containers that are already in the house and matching them up with their lids. Use re-usable beeswax food wrap and compostable baking paper, and bring them home rather than put them in the bin. And why not try out a compartmentalised bento lunch box for the new term.
