🌻 Lammas has arrived — warm, fragrant with freshly baked bread, floral honey, and ripe fruits laid out on the altar. Golden sheaves of grain are arranged like a sacred border, creating a magical space for the powerful energy that unfolds on this day.
Happy holiday to all! May your harvest be abundant and your blessings generous! Wishing you a full and fruitful year ahead!
Lammas is one of the most powerful days of the year. It’s the time of gathering the first fruits of the harvest; a time for rituals of gratitude, prosperity, and release from burdens. Bread is baked and shared with friends, family, and the gods — symbolically sharing your future with them. It’s also a day for sealing agreements, casting spells for successful deals, holding weddings, and engaging in trade. On Lammas, we give thanks to Fate and Nature for the abundance in our lives and ask for new beginnings.
A bit more about the celebration:
The traditional food of Lammas includes fresh bread — always the centerpiece — along with porridges, vegetable dishes, honey, and apples. Drinks include berry wines, beer, fruit infusions, and light mead. On this day, you can also craft a protective doll from grain stalks to guard your home through the long winter ahead.
Lammas is an ideal time for rituals focused on gaining support, divine guidance, and protection. The energies of this holiday assist in any good endeavor, remove obstacles, deepen understanding, and expand your opportunities. Lammas especially favors craftsmen, bards, and magicians — it’s the perfect moment to begin nurturing your gifts and to ask the Gods to bless your endeavors.
It’s also a powerful day for divination, especially about your harvest and future well-being.
