With Lughnasadh we celebrate the fertility of Mother Earth and that what we have planted can finally be harvested.
The name 'Lughnasadh' comes from the Celtic sun god Lugh, the sun is common during lughnasadh, this is symbolically placed on the altar, or the warm colors and sunflowers can be found.
From now on, the sun will set earlier, and the days will be shorter.

I have found foraging to be very therapeutic. Getting to smell the different aromas meet all my troubles away. While foraging I always belring an offering to where I harvest.
Milk, honey, apples, and even bird feed are great offers. I try to stray away from bread due to it harming birds.
I LOVE mimosa flowers. Although the Mimosa tree aka Persian silk tree, may be toxic the flowers are not! They can be used in a tinctures, infused in homey, and even cooked in a stew like manner!
I used mimosa flowers for both medicinal and magical.
Magically they correspond to love, protection, purification, prophetic dreams and freedom from loneliness. Medicinally it can be used to ease depression, mood swings, irritation, and anger.
I feel I didn't have enough flowers for this batch and will be foraging more for the tincture
In case you do not follow me on Tiktok, HI! I do many different forms of magick. After working with Hecate I have emerged from the shadows of trauma and now focus on Baneful workings.
In other words I Dominate and ruin the life of abusers. I make them face the monster they are while they lose everything around them.
I heal you and destroy them.
Hecate has taught me to stand for myself and defend others in need. Be the light that guides in the dark.
I could stay here forever if it wasn't for the yellow Flys馃ぃ馃槄 but seriously this is one of many small gems in my area.

This place pictured is newport springs right outside out wakulla, Florida. We know it around here as the sulfur hole due to the cave enterence. It is a vent for the sulfur you see in the pictures and if you're there the smell!
Warding is the method of casting a shield or barrier to defend and protect a space, person, portal, or item or to deflect potential negative energies and dangers. This is a remarkably important intention to consider and practice.
Methods & Mannerisms:
General:

Incorporating a protective sigil, rune, or symbol onto one鈥檚 space or body. Using Magickal sprays, mists, and humidifiers with diluted essential oils. Making or purchasing a protective sachet to place or carry around. Enchanting crystals and amulets to wear or store at home.
Personal:
Writing or tracing protective sigils, runes, or symbols on oneself. Magickal topicals, salves, tinctures, lotions, and diluted essential oils. Enchanting something you can wear such as clothing, or jewelry. Enchanting & carrying item that is symbolic & represents you or intent. Casting a bathing or shower ritual; running water is considered very sacred and will protect as well as cleanse your soul of other energies.
Spatial:
Using smoke like an incent, bundle, or blend around your residence. Growing, hanging, or burning protective or plants throughout your space. Enchanting your crystals, salts, herbs, potions with defensive wards. Sealing mirrors, covering them or inscribing them with sigils or symbols.

Chamomile can be used to help in lightening your hair, it can also aid in sleeping and averting of anxiety.
There are two varieties as follows
German Chamomile
A masculine herb, under the rulership of the Sun. It's element is water. It is used to attract money, calming and sleep magick. The solar nature of German Chamomile can be used to ward off curses.
Roman Chamomile
It is also masculine, under the rulership of the Sun and water. It also has ties to money and some believe that an infusion is used on the hands to improve luck in games of chance. Again, it can be used in sleep and meditation magick. An infusion can be used in the bath to improve one's chances of finding love. It also has a purifcative energy and, again, when sprinkled around the property - it can aid against witchcraft and hexes.
