Lughnasadh to Mabon
The great Sabbat of Lughnasadh (a name derived from a Celtic God), or Lammas, commemorates the reaping of the first fruits of the year’s harvest, and also honors the willing self-sacrifice of the Horned God. An intense period of gathering-in lies ahead, but Lughnasadh provides an opportunity to pause and give thanks to the Goddess, and more poignantly, to the Corn King, who has give his all to ensure that life on earth should survive the winter.
