Lammas (Moon)
Lammas - also known as Lughnasadh, is a celebration on 1st August deriving from Pagan, Wicca and Celtic practices and marks a seasonal turning point, falling between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox. Lammas signifies a time of reaping the seeds previously sown and celebrating the harvest- a point of abundance in the year. In some early Irish traditions, harvesting crops before the 1st August was bad luck, giving way to a bad harvest and the spoiling of crops. Beyond the harvest, Lammas is also a time of celebrating craftsmanship and talents. Pagan and Wicca traditions pay homage to Lugh, the Celtic God of craftsmanship.
Lammas is the seasonal reminder of the cyclical nature of life- from endings come new beginnings, and from hard-work and labour comes abundance. It is important to celebrate these moments of reward, traditionally done on Lammas with dancing and flowers, herbal medicine and a connection to the natural world and its rhythms.
