We will celebrate Lammas, “loaf mass,” (also referred to as Lughnasadh) in circle format as we honor the August 1st holiday, albeit 2 days late.
This festival marks the bounty of the grain harvest, which may also manifest as the successes in our own lives. Now as the sun begins journeying to the south, we acknowledge our achievements, and our personal harvest, by coming together in community to symbolically return these blessings to the earth.
