La Luna Sabbats

Lughnasadh or Lammas is the time of the first harvest, when the plants of spring wither and drop their fruits or seeds for our use as well as to ensure future crops.

Mystically, so too does the God lose his strength as the Sun rises father in the South each day and the nights grow longer. The Goddess watches in sorrow and joy as She

realized that the God is dying, and yet lives on inside Her and Her Child.

Lughnasadh, also known as August Eve, Feast of Bread,

Harvest Home and Lammas, wasn't necessarily observed on this day. It originally coincided with the first reapings. As summer passes, Wiccans remember its warmth and bounty in good we eat. Every meal is an act of attunement with nature, and we are reminded that nothing in the universe is

constant.
