Lugh
(sometimes referred to as Llew) or Lugus as he was called by the Celts,
is traditionally known not just as the god of the Harvest, but also as
the god of light, skill and ability. He was a sun god of all crafts and
arts, healing, journeys and prophecy. He was very skilled in many areas,
thus his being associated with so many different areas of life. Lugh was
traditionally associated with ravens and according to legend had a magic
spear and otherworldly hounds under his command. His festival is held
on August 1. Artwork by Joanna Powell
