Lammas, or Lughnasadh, is a turn of the wheel filled with blessings and gratitude! Lammas is one of the four Celtic Fire Festivals and a much anticipated day in the Pagan calendar. If you are still planning your Lammas/Lughnasadh activities you’ll want to keep on reading.
Lammas is the first harvest celebration of the year, followed by Mabon and Samhain. Harvest season is upon us and we’re at the midway point between the Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. A very exciting time for those who simply can’t wait for Autumn to arrive. For more Lammas/Lughnasadh details and correspondences, you may check out my full post HERE.
