Give us now our daily bread. Lammas is of harvest. Wheat and Corn figure predominately in this celebration. It has a dark aspect as well since the corn and wheat must be killed so it may nourish many in the month ahead. Harvesting is the end for some life so that others can sustain thanks to their sacrifice.
Lammas is August and typically begins on the first of that month. A month where the sun wanes from its powerful summer rays. A month where we are “tween…halfway between the Equinoxes. Although one of the least known Sabbats, Lammas is understood at an instinctive level by most. The sweetness of the harvest feeds us long beyond Lammas. We live in appreciation of the abundance that carries us through times of need.
