Today, let's talk about Lammas, the Sabbat of the first harvest! As the days grow shorter and the first fruits of the harvest ripen on the vine, we come to Lammas, a festival of gratitude, abundance, and celebration. This Sabbat marks the first harvest of the season and celebrates the fruits of our labor and the blessings of the earth.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a sacred festival celebrated on July 31st - August 2nd in the Northern Hemisphere (or January 31st - February 2nd in the Southern Hemisphere). It marks the halfway point between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox and is a time to honor the first harvest of the season and give thanks for the abundance of the Earth.

🌾 History and Traditions:

Lammas has its roots in ancient agricultural societies, where it was celebrated as a festival of grain and the harvest. The name "Lammas" comes from the Old English word "hlafmaesse," meaning "loaf mass," referring to the tradition of baking bread with the newly harvested grain. In Celtic mythology, Lammas is associated with the god Lugh, who was honored with games, feasting, and rituals celebrating the harvest. It is a time of community gatherings, feasting, and giving thanks for the blessings of the Earth.

Here are a few ways to honor the magic of Lammas:

Give Thanks for the Harvest: Take this time to give thanks for the abundance of the earth and the blessings of the harvest, expressing gratitude for the nourishment and sustenance it provides.

Bake Bread and Share Food: Bake bread or other baked goods using grains harvested from the earth, and share them with loved ones as a symbol of abundance and community.

🌾 Recipes: -> Lammas Bread: Bake a loaf of bread using whole grains such as wheat or cornmeal. Add herbs like rosemary or basil for flavor and intention. -> Harvest Soup: Create a hearty soup using seasonal vegetables like corn, squash, and potatoes. Infuse it with warmth and nourishment to symbolize the abundance of the harvest.

Create a Harvest Altar: Decorate your altar with symbols of the harvest, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and symbols of abundance, to honor the bounty of the earth and the blessings of the season.

🌾 Correspondences:

Colors: Gold, yellow, orange, green.

Symbols: Wheat, grain, corn, bread, sunflowers, sheaves of wheat.

Herbs: Meadowsweet, chamomile, sunflower, rosemary, basil.

Crystals: Citrine, amber, peridot, carnelian.

Offerings to the Land: Make offerings to the land and the spirits of nature, giving back to the earth and expressing your appreciation for its gifts.

Hold a Harvest Ritual: Gather with loved ones to hold a ritual of gratitude and celebration, giving thanks for the abundance of the earth and the blessings of the season.

🌾 Rituals and Celebrations:

Harvest Ritual: Create an altar adorned with symbols of the harvest, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. Offer gratitude to the Earth for its abundance and blessings. Light candles in shades of gold and yellow to honor the sun's warmth and energy.

Bread Baking: Bake bread using freshly harvested grains or incorporate grains like wheat or cornmeal into your cooking. As you knead the dough, infuse it with your intentions for abundance and prosperity.

Outdoor Activities: Spend time in nature, perhaps visiting a local farm or orchard to connect with the land and observe the ripening crops. Take a nature walk and collect wildflowers or herbs to decorate your home or altar.

Feasting and Sharing: Host a feast with friends and loved ones, featuring dishes made from seasonal produce. Share stories, laughter, and gratitude for the abundance of the harvest season.

Lammas is a time of gratitude, abundance, and celebration, reminding us to honor the cycles of nature and give thanks for the blessings of the Earth. May your Lammas be filled with joy, abundance, and blessings from the harvest! 🌾🍞🌞

Turning Over August

This is the first time in a while (8 months actually, I googled it) that the day of the month is a Monday, so the pathway reading would follow the weekend turnover reading in 24 hours (or less depending on when you read things.) Reading on top of reading on top of reading is never a good idea. WHY – your guess is as good as mine. I can see where the old school way of saying it might be something…

i've been searching your blog for a while, but i guess i can't find the right keywords haha

did Sumerians use honorifics at all? i feel like i've seen a similar post on here before, but - for the life of me - i cannot find it.

if they do (anything like mr/ms/mrs. even an honorific for a teacher/mentor would be immensely helpful), could you list some?

Hi! I believe this is the post you're looking for. And the short answer is that they did not use honorifics. As you read Sumerian texts, you'll find that they were a pretty blunt and direct people - the closest thing to an honorific for a king, say, was just to use lugal "king".

In fact, I don't know of a word for "teacher" beyond the standard dubsar 𒁾𒊬 "scribe", though you could maybe use dubsarmah 𒁾𒊬𒈤 "chief scribe, great scholar" to add a flattering flair. And the only word I have close to "mentor" is lamma 𒀭𒆗 "guardian spirit, protective or tutelary deity" (most often a female spirit). I hope one of those works for you!

Lughnasadh

Learn about the holiday of Lughnasadh and how you can celebrate!

Photo Credit: Polina Rytova

What is Lughnasadh?

Pronounced LOO-nah-sah, Lughnasadh is an old Gaelic festival named after the god Lugh. The name “Lughnasadh” is Old Irish for (roughly) “The Gathering of Lugh”.

Also called Lúnasa (modern Irish), Lùnastal (Scottish Gaelic), and Luanistyn (Manx Gaelic).

Lughnasadh starts at sunset on July 31st and ends the night of August 1st, being halfway between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox; the holiday is one of four known Seasonal Festivals of the Gaelic-speaking people, the others include Beltane, Samhain, and Imbolc.

Note: The Holiday is held on January 31st – February 1st in the Southern Hemisphere!

Who is Lugh?

Lugh has many epithets, including (but not limitied to) Lugh Lámfada “of the long arm”, Ildánach ”the Skilled God” , and Macnia “the Youthful Warrior”.

He is the god of many skills, art, and justice. Though he also had a trickster side.

Lugh is also linked to lightning and the sun due to the etymology of his name; Lugh has been suggested to translate as “light” and one of his many epithets is “The Shining One”.

Feel free to read more about Lugh in this Deity Guide I wrote for him or look at the references and further reading section below!

History, Lore and Traditions

The Holiday may be named after Lugh, but one of the more popular myths around Lughnasadh is that Lugh had created it in honor of his foster mother, Tailtiu, who died of exhaustion after readying the fields for agriculture.

Competitive games, particularly the Tailteann Games or Áenach Tailten (modern spelling: Aonach Tailteann) were held during this time.

Feasts were had, as the holiday originated in legend as a funeral feast for Tailtiu.

Holy wells were visited during Lughnasadh, much like the other Celtic holidays. People would pray and offer coins (or clooties) while walking around the well clockwise.

As Lugh is also the god of oath-keeping and justice, contracts were signed and diplomatic meetings were held during Lughnasadh.

Matchmaking and hand-fastings were held on Lughnasadh. Specifically trial marriages were started on this day, with a trial period of a year and a day; you could finalize it after the year’s end or end the marriage.

Bonfires were sometimes lit but were not necessarily a huge part of this particular holiday.

Traditionally for Lughnasadh, folks would take the first corn of the harvest and climb to the top of a hill or otherwise high location to bury it as an offering.

A sacred bull would also be sacrificed sometimes, and the meat of the bull would be a part of the feast. The bull would then be replaced by a new, younger bull for the next year’s festival.

The exact traditions of the holiday would vary based on the culture, location, and even family of those celebrating it.

A Note on Lammas

Often conflated, Lammas, the two holidays share many similarities but are different in origin and history. Lughnasadh is Gaelic and Pagan whereas Lammas is Anglo-Saxon and Christian. In the References and Further Reading section below you can read a great blog post about it titled “A Little History of Lammas” in which the author puts it perfectly: Conflating these two holidays: "...is not just an oversimplification but also culturally tone-deaf; even if they have linked origins - and that's a big if - the Irish and English festivals have very different histories, and have to be understood within their different cultural contexts.”

Modern Day Lughnasadh

Correspondences

Note: Any historic or traditional offerings will be marked with a (T). Your offerings do not have to be historic to be valid, this is just my way of categorizing!

Deities

Lugh is obviously the main deity for this holiday historically.

Other deities that honor harvests and agriculture and such could also be celebrated on this day. A few examples include:

Osiris

Demeter

Ceres

Freyr

Colors

Warm colors like orange, yellow, and gold.

Warm brown tones.

Happy Lughnasadh!

February 1st - March 20th

Today is the second day of Lughnasadh for us in the Southern Hemisphere! ✨

🦋 Origin 🦋

Lughnasadh (Loo-Nas-Ah) is the celebration of the First Harvest. It is celebrated in the middle of summer to late summer, between Midsummer and Mabon. 🍁 It is a celebration of seeing what you’ve grown and cultivating it for the winter season. This tradition came from Irish Celts and named from the Celtic Sun God, Lugh.

Lughnasadh comes from two origins of Lugh’s mythology. One is that Lugh wanted to a festival to honour his foster mother, Tailtiu (Tal-Chi-Uh). She had died clearing the Irish plains to prepare them for agriculture.

The other origin is that it was to celebrate Lugh’s marriage. It’s also a time where couples would make a “temporary marriage” which would be only for a year, until the end of the next years festival.

It is also known as Lammas in the Anglo Saxon tradition. Early Christians would take a loaf of bread to a priest to be blessed on August 1st. This loaf of bread was called loaf mass, which the where Lammas came from.

🍇 Celebration 🍇

Every source says that it was either a celebration of funerals or of marriage, but it’s always a festival of Lugh.

Ways that you can celebrate are:

Baking or buying a loaf of bread to celebrate the grain harvest. 🍞

Eating seasonal fruits / veggies. 🍒🍇

Putting colours of yellow, green, orange into your life or onto your altar. 🌻

Using crystals of red, yellow and orange. Carnelian, amber, citrine, and clear quartz for example. 🍓

Using symbolism of scythes, sunflowers, grain (which could be bread!) on your altar. 🌾

Gathering with friends for a potluck! Celebrate summers abundance and take this moment for rest! 🌼 Lughnasadh themed items include: bread, grains (like quinoa), berries, fruit, wine and beer.

Making corn dollies to hang around the home as an offering for a good first harvest, and asking deity (such as Lugh) for blessings. 🌽

Bird VS Personal Computer Time

My personal computer time's determined by Bird and her desire to be on her ladder.

She normally goes up for about 1-3 hours and naps, which gives me the ability to 1.) concentrate, and 2.) type with both hands - that's when I blog, respond to things, and work on my various schemes.

(My phone - an ancient Blackberry - barely connects to the net, and can't run the social apps friends are using, so my only connection to the world is via my laptop during personal computer time.)

If she doesn't go up on her ladder she doesn't nap, which means she's running circles around me having continuous attention-demanding meltdowns. If I move into another room and close the door the meltdowns intensify AND the door gets repeatedly attacked.

Rather than get really worked up - because, yeah, I get worked up, and getting worked up means having to deal with feelings of despair and hopelessness and isolation - I just get on with my to-dos and pray that I'll get some personal computer time the following day.

Having said all of that - Bird's refused to go on her ladder for over 2 weeks.

Since we're in the middle of a drought it's been dry enough for me to just go outdoors and work on something outside to distract myself from negative feelings (there's always something to do at this time of the year, and OCPD gives me a little bit of a lift b/c it loves working), but I'm very aware that my presence has been hugely absent despite being the Hagging Out and Old Lammas Weekend ringleader.

So I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not being around, and that I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to comments, reblogs, and DMs. My social life's at the mercy of Bird's whims, and her current whim is very anti-ladder. We're still proceeding as planned - everything's still totally on! - and I'm really looking forward to celebrating Old Lammas Weekend with y'all. <3

Heyy, I've just started witchcraft... but my parents are shitholes to me in general and don't let me do things like this, though I want to... any tips for a closeted witch? thanks! and have a wonderful day <3

The first thing that popped into my mind was "be a geology weeb". That's actually how I started out - learning about rocks.

Research and incognito mode are going to be your best friends. Seriously.

Disguise your witch stuff as your newest hyperfixation. When I was starting out working with Loki, I told my parents it was a hyperfixation -and since they're used to me doing that sort of thing, they didn't bat an eye.

Other than that, I have next to no idea, because it is early and my brain is still kinda asleep.

If anyone else has ideas for @gumberrybear on how to disguise their practice, send em in!

The True Meaning of Thanksgiving, Our Thanksgiving, and The History of Thanksgiving

In the USA during Thanksgiving, families gather, friendships are renewed, and everyone will exclaim what they are “thankful for” or “giving thanks for the blessings they have received during the year.” Enormous plates of food will be served, including turkey, potatoes, and pumpkin pie. It’s an American eating tradition. Through this blog, I will talk about our simply Thanksgiving and the history of Thanksgiving and where is comes from.

Our Thanksgiving was simple yet fun. I didn't have to cook the meals. We had Thanksgiving at my in laws home. My husband and I hardly ever host Thanksgiving under normal circumstances, especially now that we have kids and the holidays have become a special time for us to visit family.

It's a simple holiday. There are no presents to give, no menu to reimagine (although we don't usually fo turkey ), and the whole day is focused on the one thing we all could use more of: gratitude. Gratitude is one of the greatest practices we can teach our children. But sometimes, moms have a hard time feeling grateful, even if they lead seemingly rewarding lives. In reality, life is stressful. We take care of the bills, the house, the kids, the pets, etc. We have a lot to worry about and that can make us feel a little less grateful for our lives despite being well off and relatively happy. So we can focus on what we lack (time, money, extended family) or, more importantly, on what we have (this moment, our immediate family, our home). I would rather think about what I have compared to what I don't. We are better off than most families and I should be grateful for that.

Now for the history of Thanksgiving.

It has much more meaning than a simple family holiday and no, it isn't anything to do with the natives and pilgrims; although for many this doesn't have anything to do with the holiday either. For most, it is simply a family holiday to get everyone together and be thankful for what we have and our family.

Throughout history people have gathered together for great feasts celebrating the harvest or the first beers being brewed, or any of a number of celebrations tied to the earth. And anyone who is anyone knows that earth-based anything has its roots in paganism.

The great civilizations of the past had their own versions of Thanksgiving. The Romans celebrated a holiday called Cerelia where the festivities included feasting while thanking the Goddess of the Harvest, Ceres. In ancient Greece they honored Demeter, the Goddess of the harvest and agriculture. The Celts and Anglo-Saxon’s had many celebrations connected to thanking the gods for a productive harvest. Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain were the names of the three great harvest festivals of the ancient world. For the Celts, it was called Mabon and it marked the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are equal, making it a time of balance, equality and harmony. In ancient times Mabon was a celebration of the second harvest (Lughnasadh was the first) when farmers gathered hearty foods like gourds, grapes and apples.

As time progressed, these events were adopted and adapted. In England, an autumnal feast called Harvest Home was celebrated and was derived from a variant of the ancient Celtic Pagan feasts. Harvest Home was a three-day feast that began with a special church service followed a communal dinner. Later, the Puritans would shun Harvest Home as well as Christmas and Easter on the grounds that they had pagan origins. Let's face it, the Puritans were never any fun. They were much too strict within their religion. But since many Christians still celebrate this holiday, thanking their god for the things and family in their lives seems just fine.

The holiday was later shared with the Natives of the americas. It can be said that the Natives most likely gave thanks to the spirits and celebrated their creator.

Symbols of Thanksgiving & Their Meaning:

Cornucopia – A Cornucopia is a horn shaped basket, usually filled to the point of overflowing with the bounty of the recent harvest symbolizing "plenty". The cornucopia dates back to ancient Greece.

Corn – One of the easiest symbols of Thanksgiving to recognize is corn. Native Americans would know it as maize or maiz. Native Americans had been growing corn a long time before the pilgrims arrived in the new world, and they taught pilgrims how to grow corn and help them survive the bitter winter. Corn was from that day forward, a part of the Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey – Long before the pilgrims sat down to eat with the Native American’s who saved them from starving, the turkey was associated with abundance and being thankful. It is native to the americas.

We have to remember and respect where this holiday comes from and what it means to each person. But no matter what religion or non-religion, this day is a time to be thankful for what we have, even if it is only a little, and look to the future while we spend time with those that we love. Our children should also be educated on what this day means and where it came from.

I hope everyone had a great holiday.
