sharing Sunday #3 {Lammas}

since today is Lammas, or Lughnasadh {pronounced Lu-na-sah}, a little sharing with regards to this.

in Wiccan and Celtic cultures, this is the celebration of the first grain harvest, a time for gathering in and giving thanks for abundance. a time to acknowledge the earth's rich produce, as well as our own skills and abilities. lots can be read and learnt here, on this site, which goes deeper into the notions behind it, and ways we can celebrate nowadays. another way to celebrate is shown here. 

as well as rejoicing and celebrating, it is a time to realise that the strength of the sun is now slowly fading, and we will be preparing for autumn, and winter after that. 

although this summer in particular has been more like autumn already, it is still nice to celebrate the fruits and seeds the earth has given us... 

give thanks and celebrate!!
