“Now is the time of the First Harvest,
when bounties of nature give of themselves
so that we may survive.
O God of the ripening fields, Lord of the Grain,
grant me the understanding of sacrifice as you
prepare to deliver yourself under the sickle of the
goddess and journey to the lands of eternal summer.
O Goddess of the Dark Moon,
teach me the secrets of rebirth
as the Sun loses its strength and the nights grow cold.

I partake of the first harvest, mixing its energies
with mine that I may continue my quest for the starry
wisdom of perfection.
O Lady of the Moon and Lord of the Sun,
gracious ones before Whom the stars halt their courses,
I offer my thanks for the continuing fertility of the Earth.
May the nodding grain loose its seeds to be buried in
the Mothers breast, ensuring rebirth in the warmth
of the coming Spring.”

– Scott Cunningham, Lammas Ritual

How many of you had money bet that we would really show up today, lol! Just kidding, see I still have my dry sense of humor. We are going to try to get back to our regular schedule. The only thing I see coming up in August is on the 10th, I have a doctor’s appointment and we will be away that day. But that is not what I wanted to talk to you about or let you know….

I have had several people ask me if we are going to resume our Saturday Meet & Greet chats, the answer is yes. We would have had one this past Saturday but we were sort of moving. I apologize for that and beside we don’t have internet or a phone at the cabin yet. You know I am enjoying the hell out of that too. I thought I wouldn’t but I do. It seems we get to spend more time together, talking, walking, unpacking, or just goofing off. We are debating if we will ever have the internet and the phone put back in or not. Hey, it saves money. Not really, we run it off the office to the cabin, I would be boot legging and I believe that is against the law.

In regards to chat, we will have a chat on Saturday, August 4 at 10:00 am to 1:00 pm central time or till everyone gets through chatting. We are going to have another site(s) join us hopefully so we will get to meet some new people there. I hope you can drop by and say hello for a minute or two. I would love for The WOTC to have a good turn out since we are going to have visitors. Don’t make me beg, because I will, lol! The chats are picking up and I honestly hate that we didn’t have one this past Saturday I hope everyone does understand. I will announce the chat all throughout the week and I hope you plan on dropping by to see us.

Now on with our Lammas Celebration!

If I have previously posted this, I apologize for doing so again. The old mind ain’t what it use to be. There are some great deals in the store right now. We have tons of new merchandise, these bags are just some of the new items we have. I believe Joseph has been added new items to every category in the store, so there is something new every where you look. Also we have extended free shipping to August 5th.

There will be a lot more sales coming up in the near and dear future. We are trying to refurnish our home so that means bargains for you. I will try to remember to post the events here but just in case I forget……….the store does have a list for you to sign up and receive our announcements about sales and new merchandise. Don’t worry, I don’t spam you.  I believe since the store has been opened back up, I have sent out three other mailings, four if you include this one. So if you don’t want to miss any of the great sales or surprises we have coming up, you might want to sign up or get on that list. The addy to the store is below.
