E 12: What is Lughnasadh and how the heck do you say it anyway?
The Wheel of the Year turns again! Lughnasadh (Lu-NAS-sa) or Lammas is celebrated by witches, pagans, and other spiritual folk on or around August 1st. It’s the midway point between summer and autumn, halfway between summer solstice and the fall equinox
... Do you feel the subtle shift of seasons yet? Where are you right now and how are you feeling?
Any holiday that centers around eating bread and drinking beer is good in our books! Since this traditionally marks the cut of the first grain, an easy and practical way to celebrate is by making or eating fresh bread. And why not opt for beer instead of wine tonight? Bake your own bread using your favorite recipe or try one that imbues it with magical ingredients and intentions such as this one: Bread and Protection Spell https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/lammas-bread-and-protection-spell.html)
Some other simple ways to bring a little extra magick into your life on Lughnasadh:
– Leave offerings for the Fae on Lammas’ Eve (July 31)
– Have a potluck with family or friends (w/ a bonfire - bonus!)
– Harvest from your garden
– Attend a farmer’s market
– Make an altar honoring the seasonal shift
– Gratitude Journal or Crafts
– Make corn husk dolls
– Spend time in Nature
– Collect seeds
– Make a Pie (blueberry or blackberry) with Protective or Wealth Runes or Sigils
– Simmer Pot Spells imbued with herbs of the season and intentions
– A typical Lammas Loaf Blessing:
"From the fields and through the stones, into fire, Lughnasadh Bread, as the Wheel turns may all be fed. Goddess Bless."
Lughnasadh reminds us to pause and reflect on our accomplishments and growth so far this year. It’s time to observe the “seeds” you planted in Ostara and begin to harvest the fruits of your labor. It is a time to express gratitude for the abundance currently in your life, assess where you may need more attention, and make room for more abundance! This is only the beginning, the first of the 3 harvest festivals. There is still time to readjust or simply to let things be and continue their growth cycle. Your endeavors and various crops will ripen when they are ready.
