ireland’s a bit more northerly than the u.s., so our seasons aren’t synced up.
for us, lúnasa is a very old pre-christian festival marking the beginning of autumn & the harvest season, held on the 1st of august.
samhain, which begins at sunset on the 31st of october, marks the end of autumn & the beginning of winter, so it’s always a little bit weird to hear U.S.ians talking about autumn stuff well into november, but that must just be how the seasons are when you’re slightly more southerly in the northern hemisphere!
