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:

In the Bath:

  • Add skin-healing Calendula to your bath

  • Surround yourself with yellow and orange candles

  • Use a soothing moisturizing aloe lotion

On your Altar:

  • Incorporate symbols of the harvest with things like corn and wheat

  • Use shades of yellow, orange, gold and purple

  • Decorate with apples, corn, and wheat

  • Add yellow and golden stones likes citrine
