Lore
Lammas/Lughnasadh is the first of the three harvest
Sabbats. Decorate the altar and house with grains such as barley, oats
and wheat -- also fruits and veggies. Substitute bread for crescent cakes.
The Sun God is waning, but the Goddess is full of abundance. Even as he
wanes, he lives on inside her as her child. Begin gathering and drying
herbs, flower, grains or seeds for spellworking in the next year. Make
magickal oils now with fresh herbs.
Braid onion and garlic charms (same principle
as Witches Ladders). Onion is sacred to the sun -- because of its shape,
and its dye is a golden amber to burnt apricot (for egg dye at Imbolc or
general purposes). When the onion is cut, it reveals the symbolism of the
moon. Garlic, too, is sacred to the moon -- the crescent shape of the cloves.
It exorcises evil and protects.
A good time for cat magick.
