Lammas Magick Collection @Superstitious
Lammas (August 1) 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.
