Lammas

8/1/2011

 
aka Lughnassadh
The first of the Harvest Holidays and marking the beginning of Autumn, this is the harvest of grains. The bounty of the Earth has ripened and now sacrifices itself so that other life may continue. The days are still warm, though the Sun weakens. Preparations are begun for the long Winter ahead. 
Common Lammas Traditions
These are just a few of the many traditions that many Witches, Wiccans, and Pagans enjoy in celebration of Lammas.
  • In honor of the sacrifice of the Corn God, the last grains of the field are formed into an effigy of Him and burned as part of the ritual celebrations. Fashion yourself a doll from corn husks and give it an honored place to sit atop your altar.
  • Enjoy a meal with whole grain breads and fresh local fruit and vegetables. Roasted vegetables are appropriate, as in many places, it is only now that the heat of the Sun is truly felt.
  • In honor of the God Lugh, whose celebration Lughnassadh is this same day, carry out a mock-battle as part of your ritual drama. Or take up a new craft or skill, make something with your hands in honor of skillful Lugh.
