Lammas.

Lammas is a festival, traditionally celebrating the first fruits of the harvest, the fruits of our labours, and seeing the desires that we had at the start of the year unfold so rituals will be centred around this. Lammas is an early Christian festival, “Lammas” means loaf mass and represents the first loaves baked from that year’s crop. These were taken to the church and laid on the altar.

At this time of year in the wild fruit, nuts and berries are plentiful, but since our food has become mass produced we have sadly lost touch with the natural cycle of the year.
