Celebrating Lammas: The First Harvest Festival

“Lammas is a time of the fullness of life, and a celebration of the bountiful and abundant Mumma Earth. The main themes of Lammas are to give big thanks, high fives and deep bows to the Goddess for Her bountiful harvest, and to state your hopes and intentions for what you wish to harvest, sacrifice, or transform.”

~Lisa Lister, Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic.

Celebrating Lammas: The First Harvest Festival

‍

Bake and Share Bread: Gather with friends and family to bake bread. As you knead the dough, infuse it with your gratitude and intentions. Share the freshly baked bread with those around you, symbolizing unity and abundance.

Reflect on Your Harvests: Consider the goals you’ve set and the progress you’ve made. Celebrate your accomplishments, both big and small, and set new intentions for the months ahead.

Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors, appreciating the beauty and abundance of the natural world. Whether it’s a walk in the park, tending to your garden, or simply sitting under a tree, let nature’s rhythms inspire and ground you.

Give Thanks: Express gratitude for the abundance in your life. This could be through journaling, creating art, or simply taking a moment to reflect. Recognize the people, experiences, and gifts that have enriched your journey.

As we honor Lammas, let us remember that life is a continuous cycle of sowing, growing, harvesting, and resting. May this festival inspire you to embrace the fullness of the season, celebrate your personal harvests, and look forward to the abundance yet to come.

Merry Lammas! May your days be filled with joy, gratitude, and the richness of life's harvest.
