About the event
What is Lammas?
Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is one of the eight Wiccan sabbats or pagan festivals marking the beginning of the harvest season.
In the Northern Hemisphere, this celebration falls on August 1st, aligning with the first fruits of the harvest, particularly grains. The name "Lammas" derives from the Old English "hlaf-mass," meaning "loaf mass," celebrating the first loaf baked from the new harvest.
Lammas is one of the four fire festivals in the Wheel of the Year, alongside Imbolc, Beltane, and Samhain, where fire plays a significant role in rituals and celebrations.
The Significance of Lammas:
Harvest Festival: It's a time to give thanks for the abundance of the Earth, acknowledging the hard work of the growing season and the first fruits of the labor.
