Ep 42 - The August In-Between: Lammas, Lugh, and Why You Feel a Bit Weird

Kayleigh Priest Season 3 Episode 42

Feeling off lately? A bit tired, emotional, nostalgic—or like you’re craving comfort and quiet after a busy summer?

You’re not broken. You’re in rhythm.

In this rich, soul-led episode, we dive into the emotional complexity of late summer—through the lens of Lammas and Lughnasadh, the first harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. We explore the story of Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu, the dance between grief and gratitude, and why this time of year often stirs a strange mix of pride, reflection, restlessness, and emotional release.

You’ll learn:

  • What Lammas and Lughnasadh really mean (myth, history, and heart)
  • Why August can feel like a liminal, melancholic, or “wobbly” time
  • How to recognise the emotional and energetic signs of the season
  • Ways to ground yourself in the landscape, your body, and your truth
  • What the Earth is doing right now—and what your soul might be mirroring

This episode is an invitation to slow down, honour what’s grown, gently let go of what’s ready to fall away, and root yourself in the sacred now.

💛 Listen in, exhale with me, and let’s walk the golden in-between—together.
