Lughnasadh ☆ traditionally celebrated August 1st-2nd for our Northern kin.
After the rich blooming of Summer Solstice comes the first harvest with wicker baskets filled with magickal herbs & resins, whilst the cunning folk chant holy incantations & spells under the bough of the oak tree.
The astrological mid-point / August 7th this year when the Sun reaches 15deg Leo ☉ ♌︎ exactly between the summer solstice & autumn equinox
We gather together to acknowledge our achievements, prosperities & successes of the past seasonal cycle. Sometimes not all of our projects have reached culmination and it is time to find peace within & without in all relationships.
This is symbolically a time of great patience, as nature goes through her cycles of sacrifice & change with the old ways.

As the Sun’s strength begins to wane, we reflect on the power & solar vitality that helped make the harvest successful & abundant.
As always when the light fades, something new is birthed in the shadows of the dark.
