05/03/08 St. Piran's Day – Kernow (Cornwall). St. Piran
(Welsh, Perran/Latin, Piranus/English, Piran). St. Piran is the most
popular of the Patron Saints of Cornwall (the others being St.
Michael and St. Petroc). His family origins are obscure, but the
tradition that he came from Ireland is extremely strong. Misguided
medieval hagiographers identified him with St. Ciaran of Saighir.
Though the two names are arguably the same, identification with St.
Ciaran of Clonmacnoise, whose father is said to have come from
Cornwall, is much more likely. Piran's father and mother are both
given Irish ancestries.

of the Commonwealth, Her Majesty The Queen, who issues a special
message, through Commonwealth Prime Ministers and Presidents to the
citizens of the Commonwealth, particularly school children.

21/03/08
VERNAL EQUINOX. Vernal Equinox, also called Alban Eiler,
which means 'Light of the Earth,' the Vernal, or Spring, Equinox
takes place on or about March 21. An 'equinox' refers to the time of
the year when the sun crosses the plane of the Earth's Equator,
making night and day equal length all over the planet. Crops were
typically sown at this time, a time of transition. This rare balance
in nature represented a powerful time of magick to the ancients.

01/05/08 Beltane. Beltane (pronounced Bee-YAWL-tinnuh)
Beltane, one of two Celtic fire festivals, is a celebration of the
return of life and fertility to the world, which takes place on April
30th. It is sometimes referred to as Cetsamhain, which
means 'opposite Samhain.' In the Celtic countries the festival was
known by other names, such as Beltane in Ireland (which means in
Irish Gaelic 'May'), Bealtunn (which means in Scots-Gaelic 'May Day')
in Scotland, Shenn do Boaldyn on the Isle of Man and Galan Mae in
Cornwall and Wales. The Saxons called this day Walpurgisnacht, the
night of Walpurga, goddess of May.

21/06/08 Summer Sostice.

21/06/08
Litha is celebrated at the summer solstice, and marks yet
another major turning point in the solar year. At this time the Sun
is honoured at its peak of potency, though from this point until Yule
the year will be on the wane. Some traditions see the Sun as the God,
fierce and powerful, others see it as the mother Goddess warming
herself–the mother earth who is pregnant with the coming harvest. It
is customary at Litha to begin gathering summer herbs to dry for
wintertime use, and to re-enact battles between deities who represent
both the dark and light halves of the year.

MABON – Equinox. The last Sabbat of the year, Mabon, is named
for the Welsh God who is called the 'great son.' This festival is
celebrated at the autumn equinox and marks the second of the three
harvests. Apple and berry harvesting, cemetery visitations, and wine
making are a central feature of this observance. In Welsh mythology,
Mabon was stolen from his mother when he was three days old and taken
to live in the dark underworld until rescued in the spring. This myth
underscores the fact that after this night of balance, darkness
emerges triumphant over the light, and will remain so until Ostara.
