Lughnasadh —also known as Lammas — is the beginning of the harvest season, marking the point where the first fruit of the land has ripened. This guide to Lughnasadh shows you how to perform rituals and work magic around the gratitude we feel for plans that have come to fruition and explore themes of fertility, protection, and reflection.

Within the pages of this book you'll learn how to make a bread suitable for your Lammas loaf, a spiced apple cider, and a traditional Lammas corn dolly. Contains rituals, recipes, lore, spells, divination, crafts, correspondences, invocations, prayers, and meditations... all related to the first stirrings of autumn and first harvest in the Wheel of the Year.

This book is part of Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials series, which explores old and new ways of celebrating the seasonal rites that are the cornerstones of the witch's year. But the book is fascinating even for those of us who are not witches, and is very useful for helping us all connect with traditional ways to celebrate the seasons throughout the year.
