The King and Queen are wed at last
while summer's kiss turns fields and grass
to harvest gold, and garden gifts
find sacrafice on earthen lips.

Debts repaid and games of sport,
weather magic - Thor's retort
blessing babies, baking bread
stocking up for winter's stead.

Bonfires, dancing, circle round
fruits and produce from the ground
offer up a feast of praise
while shadows lengthen in the maze.

August sun turns all to bronze
golden children singing songs
fireflies flitter in the dusk
touching all with faerie dust.

Dark Lord melts into the night
taking with him summer's light
merging wishes, law, and might
removing evil from our sight.

Witches gather hand to hand
power raised along the band.
Vortex spiral in its quest
force to form I manifest!

Lughnasadh invocation from Solitary Witch by Silver Ravenwolf

A bit late, but I wanted to do a Lughnasadh piece with Luthien cuz she was overdue for a portrait. I went with traditional symbolism for the holiday - wheat, corn, sunflowers, poppies, the sun - and tied in some Pagan influence along with just a general nature themed pic, and the whole piece is accented with glitter (I just love those glitter pens. lol)

I'm considering selling this piece for charity if anyone is interested, though since I don't have a whole lot of pictures of Luthien it will be hard to let go. If you like this and you just HAVE to own it, send me a note and we'll talk. :)
