Lammas Magick Collection @Superstitious
Lammas, or Lughnasadh (pronounced "LOO-nahs-ah"),
is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning “Loaf-mass” and is one of the Greater Wiccan
Sabbats, usually celebrated on August 1st or 2nd, although occasionally on July
31st. The Lughnasadh Sabbat is a time to celebrate the end of Summer and the
beginning of the Autumn season, as well as to usher in the first of three
harvest celebrations in the Witches Yearly Calendar. It is the time of
harvesting corn and grain, grapes and wine, and is therefore greatly associated
with bread, as grains are the first crop to be harvested.
We as Witches give
thanks and honor to all Gods and Goddesses of the Harvest, as well as those who
represent Death and Resurrection. This is a time when the Sun God magickally
begins to weaken as the Sun rises farther in the South, each day growing
shorter as the nights grow longer. The Goddess watches in sorrow, but she
realizes that while the God is dying, He lives on inside Her as Her child. This
is, in a manner, the Witches Thanksgiving, and we continue to tend to our
gardens, and begin to harvest our magickal herbs and flowers.
