Lammas


Here are some ideas for Lammas!! I hope you have a wonderful day! Lammas is celebrated on August 1st & is the first harvest festival of the year. A harvest festival is where bread baked from the first crop is blessed. Blessed Be.


Outside:

  • Use this day to harvest vegetables and herbs outside

  • Collect Berries to make bracelets and garlands

  • Collect seeds for next season’s sowing

  • Leave offerings as thanks for this year’s harvest

In the Home:

  • Burn Frankincense, Rose or Sandalwood incense

  • Fill the home with the smell of fresh-baked bread

  • Leave bowls of sunflower seeds and nuts around the house to snack on

  • Drink hoppy beers and ales

  • Make apple candle holders

In the Kitchen:
