Hello Reader, As warm summer days weave their golden tapestry, we find ourselves approaching a magical time of year. It's time to celebrate the harvest and honor the ancient festival of Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas. ππΎπ½ This wonderful occasion marks the first of the three traditional harvest festivals. These ancient harvest celebrations serve as a poignant reminder of our profound connection with nature and the significance of gathering together to celebrate the seasonal rhythms. At the first of these festivals, summer crops are ready to be gathered, and we express gratitude for Mother Earth's abundance. It's a time to embrace the spirit of thanksgiving, gather with loved ones, and revel in the blessings nature has bestowed upon you. Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas, is typically celebrated on August 1, marking the midpoint between the summer solstice and the fall equinox. However, in ancient Ireland, the Celts often celebrated it at the nearest full moon, and activities usually lasted throughout August. Click the button below to learn more about Lughnasadh and Lammas. Information includes a list of fun celebration and activity ideas you can enjoy as the summer comes to an end.
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, visit Imbolc Traditions for a list of late-winter celebration ideas and early-spring activities you can try instead. Happy Lughnasadh/Lammas! May your harvest celebrations be a time of joy, merriment, gratitude, and abundance for you and your loved ones. πΎππ With joy and gratitude,
