As autumn approaches, Acomplia the first harvest comes upon us and the bread-baking season begins. For the festival of Lughnasadh, the first of three “harvest” holidays before midwinter, it is good to bake a special bread to share with friends at those picnics that are stolen while the weather’s still good. This yeast bread, incorporating a heavy mixture of two kinds of flour and peanut butter and topped with sesame seeds, is sure to be a great treat for early autumn.

Ingredients:

•2 cups whole wheat flour

•2 cups bread flour, plus more if needed

•¼ cup toasted sesame seeds

•2 tbsp active dry yeast

•2½ tsp salt

•2 cups milk, scalded

•3 tbsp smooth peanut butter

•3 tbsp honey

Directions:

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the peanut butter and the honey to the hot milk and stir to combine. Cool milk mix until it reaches 115ºF. Stir milk mix into flour mix. Knead for 15 minutes, adding more flour if necessary to make a smooth, elastic dough. Oil the dough’s surface, then cover with plastic or a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm spot until double. Punch down, then shape into 2 rectangle loaves or one large wreath. Let rise again until doubled. Bake at 375ºF until golden; it should make a hollow sound when tapped.

Yield: 1 large or 2 regular loaves

Once upon a Lammas Night

When corn rigs are bonny,

Beneath the Moon’s unclouded light,

I held awhile to Annie…

Although in the heat of a Mid-western summer it might be difficult to discern, the festival of Lammas (Aug 1st) marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall. The days now grow visibly shorter and by the time we’ve reached autumn’s end (Oct 31st), we will have run the gamut of temperature from the heat of August to the cold and (sometimes) snow of November. And in the midst of it, a perfect Mid-western autumn.

The history of Lammas is as convoluted as all the rest of the old folk holidays. It is of course a cross-quarter day, one of the four High Holidays or Greater Sabbats of Witchcraft, occurring 1/4 of a year after Beltane. It’s true astrological point is 15 degrees Leo, which occurs at 1:18 am CDT, Aug 6th this year (1988), but tradition has set August 1st as the day Lammas is typically celebrated. The celebration proper would begin on sundown of the previous evening, our July 31st, since the Celts reckon their days from sundown to sundown.

However, British Witches often refer to the astrological date of Aug 6th as Old Lammas, and folklorists call it Lammas O.S. (‘Old Style’). This date has long been considered a ‘power point’ of the Zodiac, and is symbolized by the Lion, one of the ‘tetramorph’ figures found on the Tarot cards, the World and the Wheel of Fortune (the other three figures being the Bull, the Eagle, and the Spirit). Astrologers know these four figures as the symbols of the four ‘fixed’ signs of the Zodiac, and these naturally align with the four Great Sabbats of Witchcraft. Christians have adopted the same iconography to represent the four gospel-writers.

‘Lammas’ was the medieval Christian name for the holiday and it means ‘loaf-mass’, for this was the day on which loaves of bread were baked from the first grain harvest and laid on the church altars as offerings. It was a day representative of ‘first fruits’ and early harvest.

In Irish Gaelic, the feast was referred to as ‘Lugnasadh’, a feast to commemorate the funeral games of the Irish sun-god Lugh. However, there is some confusion on this point. Although at first glance, it may seem that we are celebrating the death of the Lugh, the god of light does not really die (mythically) until the autumnal equinox. And indeed, if we read the Irish myths closer, we discover that it is not Lugh’s death that is being celebrated, but the funeral games which Lugh hosted to commemorate the death of his foster-mother, Taillte. That is why the Lugnasadh celebrations in Ireland are often called the ‘Tailltean Games’.

The time went by with careless heed

Between the late and early,

With small persuasion she agreed

To see me through the barley…

One common feature of the Games were the ‘Tailltean marriages, a rather informal marriage that lasted for only ‘a year and a day’ or until next Lammas. At that time, the couple could decide to continue the arrangement if it pleased them, or to stand back to back and walk away from one another, thus bringing the Tailltean marriage to a formal close. Such trial marriages (obviously related to the Wiccan ‘Handfasting’) were quite common even into the 1500′s, although it was something one ‘didn’t bother the parish priest about’. Indeed, such ceremonies were usually solemnized by a poet, bard or shanachie (or, it may be guessed, by a priest or priestess of the Old Religion).

Lammastide was also the traditional time of year for craft festivals. The medieval guilds would create elaborate displays of their wares, decorating their shops and themselves in bright colors and ribbons, marching in parades, and performing strange, ceremonial plays and dances for the entranced onlookers. The atmosphere must have been quite similar to our modern-day Renaissance Festivals, such as the one celebrated in near-by Bonner Springs, Kansas, each fall.

A ceremonial highlight of such festivals was the ‘Catherine wheel’. Although the Roman Church moved St. Catherine’s feast day all around the calender with bewildering frequency, it’s most popular date was Lammas. (They also kept trying to expel this much-loved saint from the ranks of the blessed because she was mythical rather than historical, and because her worship gave rise to the heretical sect known as the Cathari.) At any rate, a large wagon wheel was taken to the top of a near-by hill, covered with tar, set aflame, and ceremoniously rolled down the hill. Some mythologists see in this ritual the remnants of a Pagan rite symbolizing the end of summer, the flaming disk representing the sun-god in his decline. And just as the sun king has now reached the autumn of his years, his rival or dark self has just reached puberty.

Many commentators have bewailed the fact that traditional Gardnerian and Alexandrian Books of Shadows say very little about the holiday of Lammas, stating only that poles should be ridden and a circle dance performed. This seems strange, for Lammas is a holiday of rich mythic and cultural associations, providing endless resources for liturgical celebration.

Corn rigs and barley rigs,

Corn rigs are bonny!

I’ll not forget that happy night

Among the rigs with Annie!

Most of my pagan friends will tell you that me and gardening is not a true match in fact a pagan friend of mine (someone who is now running their own coven) was told that I had spent weeks designing my garden to which he replied why did it take him so long to draw a square and write concrete ‘LOL’.

I always lived in London and gardening was a luxury but since I move out in to the middle of the country I have wanted improve my pagan practices with getting back to ground roots pagan life I could not cope with the “good life” (tv version) of going totally self sufficient but I did want to be able to grow a few herbs for spell and potions and some fruit over the last few years I have not had much success (explains the concrete comment), I have had the dog dig them up, slugs and caterpillars eat them and the frost kill them and the few bit that have survived have been never in time for any ritual or rite.

But this year I have managed to grow stuff that will be ready for the 1^st august it not much I have 1 melon a few raspberries a few black currents and 4 or five broad bean come on don’t laugh I know it not much.

This will be the first year that I will be able to perform a harvest ritual where the harvest will be a physical act, will be able to decorate my altar with something that I have grown and harvested on the day.

As I sit and write my ritual for the 1^st August I am so aware that the physical act of the harvest plays such an important of the day, in previous years my harvest was the things that I was successful at I would metaphorically harvest them and use them as seed to grow more successful. Which in its own way lead me to the understanding that my spiritual needs where becoming less important that working daily life part of the reason I moved to the country. I started to realise that I had become caught up in the city and was losing my connection to nature so about 10 or so years ago I decide that I need to be in Dorset or should buy without a prescription I say the lady herself sent signs that I need to be in Dorset so I moved to Bournemouth which was much like the city and although I had the sea to connect with it still was not quite right, it was only when I move to where I am at present did everything full in to place.

Everything we do in that end up harvested sometimes we receive a bounty other times we end up with something that is rotten and spoilt but no matter what we receive we must accept our part in it creation and accept our responsibilities fairly and with understanding.

I hope that by reading this that you will think of the things you have harvested and work into your ritual something that will help you gain a stronger connection to the life the divine has provided you.

Wicca is an earth-based Spiritual path, based on reviving the ancient pagan religions of pre-Christian Europe. Wiccan’s have a strong belief in the forms and forces of nature and that the divine source exists on all planes and is both male and female. Wiccan’s see aspects of life and nature as being sacred.

Wiccan’s will attempt to attune themselves to natural rhythms of nature and cycle of life so they can communicate with the divine form. Wiccan’s will use rituals and rites, which are a mix between ancient text and modern ceremonies as well as shamanic practices to achieve this commune with the divine force.

For Wiccan’s the divine form / force is divided in to two parts the two parts are considered to be equal and opposite (up-down / left-right / good bad / summer-winter etc.). These two halves created the balance in the universe and manifest as a Goddess(s) and God(s). By manifesting the power in two deities (Goddess and God), the natural balance of opposites, cause and effect are retained, e.g. Summer/winter, light/ dark, life and death etc   

Although Wiccan’s may name their deities Wiccan’s believe that all goddess’s are but one goddess and all gods are but one god. The reason a Wiccan will call on a deity by name is to focus the aspect or nature of the persona that that aspect of the divine portrays. Wiccan’s believe that with the will of the divine and through magickal workings such as spells and rituals you can bend the unlimited source of energy to your will and desire. 

The Wiccan path has no leaders, No laws saying what is right and wrong, No real religious text such as The Bible,The Qur’an ,The Torah,The Vedas ,The Book of Mormon ,The Guru Granth Sahib ,The Avesta ,The Zhuan Falun etc although there are hundreds of books on wicca.

Wiccan fall basically into two groups the Hedge Witch, which is a solitary practitioner, and those that belong to a formal group or coven. Covens normally consist of 13 member and they are normally presided over by a High Priest and Priestess who have had may years of experience and are respected as an Elder and teacher of the craft.

All Wiccans adhere to one overriding ethical precept as stated in the “Wiccan Rede”:

“Though it harm none, Do what thy wilt”.

For a more detailed view of this rule please read “And it Harm None”

And to insure that Wiccan’s work ethically and with an understanding that their actions have a consequence the have “The Three-Fold Law”.

Which basically is what you send out will return three-fold three times good three times bad. This means Alli Online that a Wiccan has to be responsible for their own actions and how the actions affect other people because of the backlash they will receive for causing harm

Wiccan’s celebrate 8 major rituals each year called “Sabbats”

There are 4 major and 4 minor Sabbats. The major Sabbats include: Imbolc (February 2nd), Beltane (April 30th), Lughnasadh (August 1st) and Samhain (October 31st), while the minor Sabbats are: Ostara (Spring Equinox, March 21st), Litha (Summer Solstice, June 21st), Madon (Autumn Equinox, September 21st), and Yule (Winter Solstice, December 21st).

The Sabbats are solar rituals marking the points of the sun’s yearly cycle, and make up half of the Wiccan ritual year. The other half is made up with “Esbats”, the Full Moon celebrations. There are 13 full moons each year symbolizing the goddess, wisdom and the inner self of the individual.

Anybody can be a Wiccan or Study Wicca and many people do. Since Wicca is a very personal and practical religion it can be moulded to suit an individuals needs spiritually and personally.

There are many different branches with in the Wiccan religion all with different rituals and rite but they all share the basic structure Wicca and Wicca is only one of many Pagan paths, And the one thing all these traditions share, is an overriding reverence for life, nature, and the environment, as seen through the Goddess and God.

Although i do not remember where i got all of these chants they have been a part of my book of shadows and i apologise to anyone who name i am not sure of and can not credit you with your inspiring works

Lughnasadh

Rev. Raven Spirit 2002

Waning days

Waving grain

The summer months begin to fade

The horned one walks to the shades

Day of first fruits

You reap what you sow

Is your grain all bland

Or with flavor, you know

Nines months we have nurtured

And cared for our goals

Now we are birthing

Like mother and foal

The seeds we have planted

Watered and helped grow

We now begin harvesting

The seeds we have sown

But the growing is not over

More cycles to pass

So weed your fields

Err it be your ass

Tis a time of great merriment

Games to be played

To honored the ancients

And the wisdom they say

Hail to Fair Tailltiu

For whom the games are named

That tests the skill and knowledge of both me and you

Lughnasadh

Fields of listening, whispering corn

Ripen in the heavy air

Lugh the Golden dancing forth,

Leaves and sheaves in his wild hair.

In perfect circles bow the stalks,

Mark the path where great Lugh walks,

Mark days and seasons, round they go,

As above, so below.

Grainne and Diarmuid meet

Clasping in the heady air,

Loving in the dolmen’s shadow,

Lost deep in her corn-sweet hair.

And his Moon follows her Sun,

Marks the way where she has gone,

Marks how love and life must be,

Each follows his own destiny.

Misty sun and steaming rain

Upon the pregnant, swelling earth.

Drying trees and tiring fields

Await the mystery of birth.

Now, in her ecstatic sleep

Mark she opens, dark and deep.

Mark, the Neolithic tomb

Pulses, like a throbbing womb.

Poppies scarlet on the gold,

Slashing, gory, gaudy red.

Colour brash and petals frail,

Bright life cut down, blown away, dead.

Now he lies down on the fields.

Mark, his life he freely yields

Mark the blood upon the corn

All that dies shall be reborn

All that dies shall be reborn

Lughnasadh

What you sow comes back to thee,

Flower, grain, grass, fruit, and tree,

What you reap be thankful for,

Return a piece and reap some more.

The Lady with her belly full,

The Lord has taken on the bull,

Full of promise… rising hope,

That through the winter we shall cope.

The golden stalks of wheat and corn,

Our hearth and larder do adorn,

Oat and barley from fertile field,

Honored is the gift they yield.

Cakes of Oat,

Ale of Barley,

Bread of Wheat,

Ears of Corn,

To feed the hunger,

To quench the thirst,

From the land,

This harvest first.

What you sow comes back to thee,

Flower, grain, grass, fruit, and tree,

What you reap be thankful for,

Return a piece and reap some more.

Lughnasadh (pronounced loo’nass’ah) 1^st August. Is one of the eight Sabbats that witches, Wiccan’s and neo pagans observe Lughnasadh is originally a Celtic festival held to honour the Celtic god Lugh foster mother “Tailtiu “ who is said to of died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture.

Lughnasadh is technically a funeral feast where patrons would show honour to Tailtiu by feasting and playing games. Since much of pagan life revolved around agriculture Lughnasadh be came the first day of the Harvest season, which would continue, to Samhain.

Since the emergence of Wiccan and the creation of the wheel of the year Lughnasadh as taken its place in modern pagan life and seen less as a funeral feast and more of a harvest festival.

Many neo pagan interchange between Lughnasadh and Lammas with Lammas being a Anglo-Saxon harvest festival also know as hlaefmass, or loaf mass with strong connection to the church and is considered to be a Christian festival.

Some of the traditional events that would, and do take place on Lughnasadh and Lammas is the baking of bread and handfasting and the harvesting of the first fruits. Predominantly wheat, and making corn dollies.

It does amaze me that many books on Wicca and neo pagan practices still describe Lughnasadh and Lammas as the same thing which can get very confusing if your trying to understand what you are celebrating.

The festival that is on the 1^st August has many names including Lammas, Lughnasadh, 1st Harvest, Bread Harvest, Festival of First Fruits, Gŵyl Galan Awst (Welsh) etc. but all share many similarities in mythologies, activities and purpose.

If we can except 3 basic truths

1.      Lughnasadh and Lammas where ancient festivals which where based on the cycles seen in agricultural societies and local mythologies.

2.      That we use the cycles of nature as they would have been and since we live in a not agricultural societies and have lost the basic connection with the land as a source of survival so we use the wheel of the year to mark the points of the year.

3.      The wheel of the year is made up and is basically a calendar of festival followed by many pagan paths.

We can look at the Sabbat with greater understanding.

We have to put ourselves in the mindset of a person who life depends on the land; the crops grown and harvested would be your only source of food and survival and a source for new crops next year. There would be no popping off to the supermarket to stock up; your whole life would be dependent on the elements and Mother Nature herself for survival.

Working for your own survival is very hard work and when your life depends on the growth and life cycle of crops there are small periods of rest bite before large periods of extra hard work this harder periods are the soil prep before planting – the planting itself – the growing and final the harvesting and returning to beginning of the cycle.

It no wonder then that the agricultural societies used local, regional and national Gods and their mythologies to explain and understand their situations if something was going right you would thank one deity if things where going wrong then you would request assistance from another.

As time moves on and societies get closer together through trade or war commonalities would be seen in spiritual practices and as families and communities intersected spiritual practices where combined creating the a local holiday or festival day.

Some of these holidays and festivals where adopted by whole nations and almost standardised in to national days of celebration some of which are still around today such as the 4 cross quarters of the wheel of the year.

For those festivals that are still around –

Samhain, All Hallow’s Eve, Last/Blood Harvest, Ancestor Night, Feast of the Dead, Nos Galan Gaeaf (Welsh)

Candlemas, Imbolc, Oimelc, Brigit, Brigid’s Day, Bride’s Day, Brigantia, Gŵyl y Canhwyllau (Welsh)

Beltane, Beltaine, May Day, Gŵyl Galan Mai (Welsh)

And Lammas, Lughnasadh 1st Harvest, Bread Harvest, Festival of First Fruits, Gŵyl Galan Awst (Welsh)

Most have lost their original meanings as we have move from an agricultural society to a society that is technologically advanced society where everything from food to sex can be order at a click of a mouse. But we do try to keep to the ideals that we are still somehow connect to nature and the land so we celebrate the 1^st harvest which any farmer today will tell you depends on many factors and cant be pinned down to a precise day to start as harvest happen when the fruit or grain is ripe not when the calendar drugs online say it time to harvest.

It does not matter what you call the 1^st August whether that be Lammas, Lughnasadh, 1st Harvest, Bread Harvest, Festival of First Fruits, or even Gŵyl Galan Awst (Welsh) just enjoy the day and feast well and make merry.

Bury Your Old Self Spell by Robert Place

If you are bothered by an aspect of your personality that you would like to let go of, then take a new potato and a knife (or your athame) and carve the potato into an image that represents the aspect to you. At midnight, take the carved potato into a field (or wherever you can find relatively undisturbed dirt) and bury it in the ground. As you do, repeat these words:

“With this image, I consign this aspect of myself to my mother the Earth.
As this image returns to the Earth this aspect of my personality dissolves into my psyche and is transformed into new capabilities”

You’re done. As the image under the earth dissolves, so will the quality you want to be rid of!

Rejuvenation spells

Health and Vitality Spell
Cut a circle from a white or yellow piece of paper. Write on the paper the words Health and Vitality. Add any specific health issues you wish to deal with, and in the centre of the paper place a bay leaf, a small amount of cinnamon, and three grains of rice. Fold the paper into a packet to hold the ingredients. Take the packet in hand for a moment and concentrate on your healing intentions, sending that energy into the package. Place the paper in a fireproof container and light it on fire. As it burns, say;

“Sacred fire,
I buying online drugs pray to thee,
Release all bonds
And set this free-
That health and vitality
might come to me.”

Purification spells

Purification Spell
If you wish to be free from a habit, thought, idea; if you wish to be rid of past associations, guilt or blockages; take the symbols of that problem – whatever they may be – & throw them onto a raging fire. The fire will consume the symbols & so shall it consume the power they had over you.
For the symbols think a moment – if you overeat, take a portion of your favorite food & throw it onto the fire. Smoking, drinking the same. For problems which utilize no concrete objects, draw a symbol or image & burn.

Spells for good luck for future endeavours

Prosperity and Luck Spell
Tools:
A Gold Candle
A piece of Jade (or other lucky stone)
Light the Gold Candle. Focus on the changes you would like to happen. Hold the stone in your hand and focus those changes “into” the stone. Visualize your energy combining with the stone and say these words:
“Changing energies, Universal luck, Weighted my way~ Fortunate door opening, Beginning this day.”
Visualize the release of energy to the universe. Extinguish the candle. Keep the stone with you as a reminder to be alert for new opportunity or as in the words of Lucille Ball:

“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work — and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.”
