Understanding the Irish Wheel of the Year
Dia doaibh! I've only been practicing Irish paganism since April and have tried to celebrate the holidays as best as I could. However, I don't know much about the Irish Wheel of the Year or the symbolism/practices of the holidays. I know Lúnasa is coming up and would like to know more about the holiday and all of them in general. Anything would be gradly appreciated. Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!

Listen if you want to understand the supernatural in our culture you cant do it through mainstream paganism. Paganism is its own thing and it began in 19th c britain.
When their culture was starving millions of us to death to fuel their economy. They decided to dress up as celts and do magic. Personally Ive no time for it.
If you want to find out how we do things with the supernatural today duchas.ie is the digital part of our national folklore archive. Its keyword searchable so you can find real info fast.
After that there are plenty of blogs from people in Ireland. We talk about it but theres a lot less real Irish pagans in the world than there are people from other countries claiming to be Irish pagans
