lammas

August 1 or 2

Lammas is one of the four "Greater Sabbats," making it one of the most important days on the Wheel of the Year. It is the cross-quarter day between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox, and it marks the beginning of the harvest season. At this time we give thanks for the abundance of the past growing season and look forward to the remaining weeks of light and warmth as we continue reaping what we have sown.
Also known as: Lughnasadh, Lughnasa, August Eve, Feast of Bread, Harvest Home, Gŵyl Awst, First Harvest

Alter: Use harvest imagery like scythes and baskets and, of course, loaves of bread.

Spellwork related to securing abundance and a happy home is particularly powerful at this time.
