Happy Lammas, friends.
Lammas is the first of several harvest holidays you’ll see in various circles of paganism or earth-based spirituality. Following Lammas is Mabon (the equinox) and Samhain (Halloween).
This is the time of year when everything is SO abundant. In my area, berries and other fruits are ripening, grains are ready for harvest, and farmers markets are bountiful.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for the arrival and fresh figs at my local Haggen’s, and they’re here 😍
While summer is in full swing and the heat has definitely arrived, Lammas (and August in general) is where we might start to notice signs of our descent into the darker, colder part of the year.
For me, there’s something about the breeze at night that sings to me about autumn, halloween, and solstice. There’s a noticeable chill that contrasts with the days heat.
This time of year is a great time to simply pause and be grateful for the abundance of mama earth - thank her for the food, the medicine, and the beauty we get to behold each day.
Happy August 🦁
