What Is Lughnasadh and How To Celebrate It

What Is Lughnasadh & How To Celebrate It

Lughnasadh is a Gaelic festival that occurs on August 1st each year, marking the dawn of the harvest season. This holiday marks the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox. Lughnasadh traditions celebrate the first cutting of grain, the bountiful harvests of corn, and the Irish craftsman and warrior god, Lugh.

Traditionally, Lughnasadh is celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Historically, the occasion was marked with a festive competition testing skills of craft and athleticism in honor of Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu. Offerings made to Lugh would include a sacred bull and a cutting of the first harvest of corn.

This holiday is considered a cross-quarter day on the neo-pagan Wheel of the Year. In some Wiccan traditions, this is the time of year in which the Horned God’s power begins to wane, and the Goddess prepares for his passing at the coming Samhain.

On the same day, some Christians celebrate the holiday of Lammas in an incredibly similar tradition. With the first harvest of grain a loaf of bread is baked and brought to the church to be blessed. Once its blessing is received, the baker takes the bread back home, breaks it into four pieces, and places them at the four corners of their barn or property to protect the grain in the coming months.

Lughnasadh or Lammas?

Though the two are often conflated in Neo-Pagan groups, Lughnasadh and Lammas are two separate celebrations. Lughnasadh is a holiday that is still celebrated by pagans and non-pagans alike in Ireland, Scotland, and The Isle of Man. Though it doesn’t look like what we think the ancient practices may have been, we do know that the traditions surrounding Lughnasadh have been syncretized and are still alive today.

Lammas is the name typically chosen for the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. It is celebrated as the first harvest festival of the year. As stated above, this is the time of year within Wiccan traditions when the Horned God prepares for his passing during Samhain. This holiday is celebrated with bread baking, frivolity, and feasting.

There are many ways that you can celebrate Lughnasadh or Lammas. Here are a few ideas to help you build your own traditions!

14 Imbolc Ritual Ideas for a Pagan February Eve Celebration

14 Imbolc Ritual Ideas for a Pagan February Eve Celebration

Imbolc, also called Imbolg or St. Brigid’s Day, is a traditional Gaelic holiday that is celebrated by pagans worldwide, including Wiccans as one of the eight Sabbats.

Imbolc marks the midpoint between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). As such, it is considered a cross-quarter day on the pagan wheel of the year, and it is often celebrated around February 1st – 2nd, or August 1st – 2nd if you’re in the Southern hemisphere.

What’s the meaning of Imbolc? Each winter, we shut ourselves up in our homes for warmth, much like the animals and insects that enter hibernation through the colder months. The home has collected dust and stagnant energy as we have shifted our focus to survival mode.

Imbolc is a word that comes from the Old Irish i mbolc (Modern Irish: i mbolg), meaning ‘in the belly’, and refers to the pregnancy of ewes at this time of year. Spiritually, Imbolc is a time of banishing the winter season so that we can sow a bountiful harvest in the springtime. During this time, we celebrate the first signs of the approaching spring: blades of grass and dandelions steadily emerge from the cold ground, the singing of birds returns to soften the cold chill of the air, and many of those hibernating creatures are beginning to awaken.

Imbolc is traditionally the great festival and honoring of Goddess Brigid, known as St. Brigid by Catholics.

How to Celebrate Imbolc

The days are becoming longer again, and we can finally open up our homes to clear out the winter blues that have been lingering within. This time of new beginnings presents a wonderful opportunity to cleanse and purify ourselves and our homes of that stagnant energy we’ve been building up in hibernation.

Let’s take a look at some Imbolc rituals and other ways that pagans around the world practice Imbolc, including the members of our group: The Infinite Roots Coven

Flashback 2022 – Lughnasadh/Lammas

Lughnasadh Bone Charm

Lughnasadh falls opposite of Imbolc on the Wheel of the Year. While Imbolc is widely considered a sabbat of the divine feminine, many consider Lughnasadh a celebration of the divine masculine. Being the first of three harvest festivals, we can mark the occasion with plentiful gratitude for not only the flora and fauna that feeds us physically on a daily basis, but also gratitude for the fact that the harvest allows us to survive and thrive, thereby increasing our positive spiritual influence in the world.

Simply acquire any bones to which your intuition leads. Yes, humanely and sustainably sourced chicken or cow bones are okay! Ensure that the bones are dry, and use a permanent marker to draw symbols and words related to the harvest, satisfaction, and sustenance onto them. Consider tying stalks of wheat or any grain to the bones once you are finished decorating. Hang these in your home (especially inside or outside the front door) to encourage a plentiful life and to honor the earth now and forever.

Spell For Thursday – Money Spell to Overcome Financial Blockages

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Money Spell to Overcome Financial Blockages

If you’ve tried other spells without any success or you feel something is blocking you from attracting money, you can try this spell. This is especially powerful for any financial blockages you may be experiencing. This spell will free up the money logjam and allow the money to start flowing to you. The sage will cleanse, while the pine imbues the energy of immortality, vitality and never-ending luck. The essential oil of vetiver clears away stubborn blocks to money. Jasmine is an attractor and opens the pathways for money to enter your life.

Basic Supplies

  • Sage smudge stick
  • Gold candle (votive or pillar)
  • Candle holder
  • Matches or lighter

Anointing Oil Supplies

  • 1/8 cup of olive oil, coconut oil or grapeseed oil
  • 2-3 drops Jasmine essential oil
  • 2-3 drops Vetiver essential oil
  • Small bowl to mix oils
  • 1 pair disposable plastic gloves

Blockage Breaking Supplies

  • Gold ink pen
  • Green piece of paper
  • Citrine stone
  • 1/8 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried rose petals
  • Mortar and pestle
  • Fireproof bowl
  • Pine incense stick

Step One: Smudge Room

Clear your room of all negative energies using a sage smudge stick. Extinguish it once you’ve cleared the room.

Step Two: Light Pine Incense

Before you begin the work, light the pine incense and clear your mind of all fears and apprehensions. You can recite a mantra or say a prayer when you light the incense. Create a circle of protection around you.

Step Three: Use Mortar and Pestle

Using the mortar and pestle, crush the dried thyme and rose petals together until they are a powder. Set aside.

Step Four: Write Your Desire in Gold

One the green paper, use the gold ink pen to write down your money desire. It’s best to keep it short and open ended so the universe can give you the best of your desires. Once completed, pour the crushed thyme and rose petals into the center of the paper. Gather the four corner and twist them together, to form a pouch. Set aside.

Step Five: Mix Oils

Using the small bowl, pour the carrier oil (olive, coconut or grapeseed), jasmine and vetiver essential oils together. Gently swirl oils to blend.

Step Six: Dress Candle

The gold candle represents the gold mineral dug out of the Earth and has powerful energies. Don the disposable gloves, dip fingertips into the bowl of mixed oils and anoint the candle starting at the top and pulling the oil down the candle length. Repeat until the entire candle has been dressed with the oil. Set in the candle holder. Remove gloves and dispose of them.

Step Seven: Mantra for Lighting of Candle

While lighting the candle repeat a favorite mantra, slowly and deliberately while thinking of your money goal. You may prefer to repeat a money-oriented mantra. You can use this one:

“Money, Money, I call to thee,
Come now in answer to my summons,
Cross through all blocks and barriers,
Find this path I create just for thee,
Take up your new home with me
and stay forever.”

Step Eight: Burn Paper and Herbs

Visualize stacks of money coming to attention and marching toward you and through your front door. Imagine the money stacking up in your home, more and more bundled bills jumping onto the stacks. Pick up the green paper pouch you made and hold one corner to the candle flame. Let it burn for a while, then safely place it into the fireproof bowl. The pouch should burn up until it self-extinguishes.

Step Nine: Allow Candle and Incense to Burn Out

You want the candle and incense to burn out. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Don’t extinguish the candle. It will sabotage this spell and break it before it has time to cast.

Step Ten: Close Protection Circle

Once the work is complete, close your protection circle. You should experience a shift in your money/financial within the next 28 days. It usually requires a full lunar cycle for spells to manifest, but sometimes they can be much faster.

When Candles Self-Extinguish Too Soon

Some candles self-extinguish before burning up. In such cases, take the remains of the candle and bury it outside your home or office. Some people prefer to bury these in a glass jar at night as per their ritual. You will need to cast your spell a second time.

Resistant Candle Burning

If you have difficulties with your candle not completely burning, you may need to cast a banishment spell first by using a black candle (be sure to dress it, too). The black candle will remove negative obstacles. Once the black candle spellwork is completed, you can proceed with the money spell and your gold candle should now fully burn.

Imbolc Lore and Rituals

Celebrating the Seasons by Selena Fox

Imbolc, also known as Candlemas and Groundhog’s Day, occurs at the beginning of February. It marks the middle of Winter and holds the promise of Spring. The Goddess manifests as the Maiden and Brigid. The Groundhog is a manifestation of the God. Colors are White, and sometimes Red. It is a festival of spiritual purification and dedication.

Thoroughly clean your altar and/or temple room. Do a self purification rite with Elemental tools — cleanse your body with salt (Earth), your thoughts with incense (Air), your will with a candle flame (Fire), your emotions with water (Water), and your spiritual body with a healing crystal (Spirit). Bless candles that you will be using for rituals throughout the year. Invoke Brigid for creative inspiration. Take a Nature walk and look for the first signs of Spring. Reflect upon/reaffirm spiritual vows and commitments you have made.

Spell for Thursday – Crystal Abundance Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Crystal Abundance Spell

Some quartz crystals contain bits of greenish mineral matter in them. These are known as “money crystals” or “abundance crystals.” If possible, use one of these in this spell. Otherwise, a clear quartz crystal will work fine.

INGREDIENTS/ TOOLS:

1 quartz crystal

An image that represents abundance to you

BEST TIME TO PERFORM THE SPELL:

On a Thursday when the moon is waxing

Select a magazine picture or download an online image that symbolizes prosperity to you. It might be an object or condition you desire, such as a new home, a sports car, or a European vacation. Lay the picture face up on a windowsill where the moon’s light will shine on it.

Wash the crystal in warm water with mild soap to cleanse it of any unwanted energies. Dry the crystal, then hold it to your third eye (between your eyebrows) while thinking about your intention. Doing this sends the image into the crystal. Then set the crystal on the picture. Make sure the crystal’s point faces toward the inside of your home, to draw what you want to you. Leave the crystal in place overnight. In the morning, remove the crystal and picture and give thanks for the bounty you are about to receive.

Pagan Holidays Lughnasadh Lammas | Everything You Need To Know

The Lughnasadh and Lammas Pagan holidays celebrates the Wheel of the Year and the arrival of the late summer season!

The days are sticky hot and you spend your time finding ways to cool down. Gardens and farmlands are ripe with veggies in shades of dark green and yellow. This is the beginning of the first harvest and primarily involves grain and corn. Although the sun is strong and hot, you’ll notice the days are beginning to shorten.

This season is lush and abundant, but Nature is already beginning to sense the coming of colder Winter days. So begins the days of preparation: gathering seeds to plant next Spring, harvesting herbs, canning jams and jellies, and baking bread to store for those cold days ahead.

It’s important to also understand that there is so much more to Lughnasadh and not just the literal interpretation of harvesting because you may not be farming your own fields.

This is a time for gratitude, personal growth, and renewal. The energy and intentions of Lughnasadh are still prevalent in the day to day lives of those who live a nature spirituality based life.

Many Pagans, Witches, and those interested in Nature Spirituality celebrate the seasonal cycles. Sometimes referred to as the Wheel of the Year, and consisting of eight celebrations. Four of these festivals (Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain) are rooted in Celtic history and origins. The other four (Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, and Winter Solstice) represent the sun’s location. I created a complete guide to each season, including history, traditions, symbols, correspondences, ritual ideas, and how you can celebrate.

Imbolc – History, Traditions, Correspondences, and Simple Ritual Ideas

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Many Pagans, Witches, and those interested in Nature Spirituality celebrate the seasonal cycles. Sometimes referred to as the Wheel of the Year, and consisting of eight celebrations. Four of these festivals (Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain) are rooted in Celtic history and origins.

I created a complete guide to each season, including history, traditions, symbols, correspondences, ritual ideas, and how you can celebrate.

Imbolc is a fire festival that celebrates the home and the halfway point between Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is quite literally Midwinter and while the days continue to grow lighter it is still dark and cold outside. Cabin fever has set in and we are all yearning to unburden ourselves from the long dark days. This can be an especially difficult time for those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and is a BIG reason why a celebration is so lovely right now!

After months of self-reflection, planning, and goal setting, aspiration and ambition are beginning to stir. The tiniest bits of enthusiasm is starting to awaken beneath the surface. Goals and dreams that you’ve created over the long cold nights are now being lit from the flames of Midwinter. Let your creativity and imagination help manifest these dreams!

Spell for Tuesday – Mirror Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Mirror Spell

One way to use mirrors is to place a picture of the person between 2 mirrors. This holds them in a sort of suspended state.

The Ritual:

Cast your circle, raise your power and surround yourself in a ball of protective energy. Do what you do here. The mirror is just a mirror until you tell it what to do. This means focusing your intention upon it. Be very clear.

Light a black candle and put it in front so it’s between you and the mirror. Now focus. Look into the mirror and hold your gaze.

Tell the mirror to please send back the negative energy that has been sent to you – to the person who sent it.

Once you’ve told it what to do, infuse your power within it so it can do what you asked. Raise your energy and focus. See the dark light shooting into the mirror and bouncing back white.

Hold this as long as you can along with the feeling of lightness. You will feel lighter once the energy is away from you. Send love to that person. They need it.

End your ritual like you do and go take a nice purification bath with some salt.

Protect yourselves at all times.

How do I write a Spell?

How do I write a Spell?

State your intention. Decide on the result you want to accomplish with the spell.

The Moon is important in witchcraft and, therefore, has a profound influence. The Moon is important in witchcraft and, therefore, has a profound influence.

Time your spell. Timing when casting spells can be important. The Moon is important in witchcraft, and therefore has a profound influence upon us. It is very important to choose the right moon phase for your spell;Magical workings for gain, increase or bringing things to you, should be initiated when the moon is waxing (from new to full);When the moon is waning (from full to dark), then its time for magical workings of decrease or sending away.

The highest energy occurs at the full moon, and therefore this is the most powerful time for magical workings. The new moon is the next most powerful time for magic.

Work with the seasons. There is a natural time for starting things (a planting time), for maturing things (a growing time), for reaping things (a harvest time) and, of course, a time for rest and planning.

Gather your tools. Make sure that you have all the tools that you need for casting the spell. Your tools must have no inherent magic. They are to help you create a mood. You also have to clean your tools. Don’t forget to cleanse and bless (consecrate) your tools before your begin casting your spell.

Understand magic. Remember that magic is the manipulation of energy, a thought is a form of energy and a visualization is an even stronger form of energy. Your visualization can be a method used to intensify further and direct your will. Your visualization can be the method by which you control the magical energy you have produced. You must know what you want. You must see it. You must feel the high energy flow. You must direct it.

Write your spoken words. For making your words and thoughts stronger you can write your spell into a rhyme to be spoken aloud; this makes it easier to remember your spell, you can also chant your spell to raise energy.

Remember the Threefold Law. Everything that you want to reach with this spell comes back 3 times, good or wrong.

Additonal Tips

Before you write your final version of your spell, you can write on a note what you want to reach with your spell, and what you are needing.

Don’t forget to cast a circle before doing any spell, for you are totally vulnerable for elementals when casting higher powers of other beings.

Meditation is the key to relaxation, and being completely relaxed allows energy to flow freely throughout your body. You should learn how to clear your mind and focus with whats on hand.

Remember the very important law: if thee harm none, do what thou will.

Remember to always end a spell in “In no way shall this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse, so mote it be”

Spell for Today – Sunday Pagan Worship

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Finally, it’s Sunday, the official day of rest. Not only do Christians acknowledge this day but I’m sure many pagans appreciate this day, as well. Everyone needs rest and a lot of people need a good day to worship their creator (whomever or whatever that may be), however they deem fit to do so. With the Sun being the central theme of many ancient rituals, Sunday just seems to fit, in name and theory.

Sunday Pagan Worship

What you will need:
Your voice
Your body
1 bell (optional)

Find a quiet, private area, without distraction. Sit down in a comfortable position. Take a few, slow, deep breaths. Allow your body to become very relaxed. When you have done this, if you brought a bell, ring it seven times. Allow the last ring to resonate throughout your body. If you have something you want to say, to God or The Goddess, now would be a good time to do this. When you are finished, say this prayer or chant:

“I know there is a higher
being than me.
I am not alone.
You are with me,
Day and night.
You’ve rode the lows
And watched the heights.
If angels are real,
I’m sure to have a guardian.
I am so thankful
And so grateful for your hand.
You’ve blessed me.
You’ve fed me
You’ve quenched my thirst
And even dressed me.
A ‘man,
A ‘man,
And Blessed Be.”

When you are finished, ring the bell seven more times, to end the ceremony

Spell For Tomorrow – Attract Love and Intimacy Bath

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. You can find the origin of the spell by clicking on the hyperlink.)

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Attract Love & Intimacy Bath

Boost the intimacy and love you have in your life with our “Attract Love & Intimacy” bath spell. This spell is best performed on a Friday, the day ruled by the planet Venus and during a waxing moon (when the moon is moving from new to full). The energy of Venus governs the domain of love. We want to help you achieve the best results, using as many aligning correspondences as possible.

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

Love & Attraction Oil

Love & Attraction Soap

Taper Household Candles 6″ (Pink for plutonic, Red for passion)

Patchouli Spice Bath Salts

HOW TO PERFORM:

Begin by cleaning your candle by running it under cold water for 30 seconds. Take 3 full breaths while holding your candle and visualize yourself happily surrounded by love and intimacy. Connect with your intention deeply, use all your senses. Breathe your intention onto your candle 3 times and whisper your intention.

Begin to prepare your candle by carving in symbols or create a sigil for love. Hearts, a cupids arrow, or whatever symbols represent love and intimacy for you works.  Carve your intention onto your candle.

With your oil rub a thin layer over top of your talisman and your candle. Move in a clockwise direction from the top to the bottom to attract love in to your life. Anoint your heart and feel it full of happiness from the abundance of love in your life.

Once your anointed and your candle is fully dressed and charged place your candle in a fire safe container in your bathroom somewhere you can see it from your bathtub. Light your candle while repeating your intention for love out loud.

Draw your bath adding the patchouli bath salts into the warm water. Submerge a rose quartz stone for added love and attraction if you have one.

Spend 10-30 minutes in the bath deeply concentrating on the abundance of love you’re about to call into your life. Feel the love and joy in your life, sing to some of your favourite songs, read a book featuring a relationship you admire and want. This is your time, experience the luxury of your bath. Once your finished step out onto your floor full of the attraction for love and abundance you have in your body. Don’t forget to dispose of your candle in an ethical way.

Spell for Friday – Psychic Herb Pillow

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Psychic Herb Pillow

Psychic spells can help you tap into your natural psychic abilities or help you further develop the ones you already know about.

This is one of the more classic psychic spells, where you sleep with an herbal pillow to help bring on astral travel and psychic dreams during the night.

You can make a simple one with these supplies:

  • Purple or silver fabric
  • Mugwort
  • Flax seed
  • Wormwood
  • Galangal root
  • Lemon balm

If you don’t have all the herbs, at least have the mugwort and the lemon balm. Gather up your herbs and make a pillow. I won’t give you sewing instruction as I’m sure you can figure out how to sew two pieces of fabric together. Just make sure the stitching is tight enough that you don’t have herbs dribbling out.

Stuff with herbs but don’t make it too thick. You have to sleep on this, so it needs to be kind of flat. Slip the pillow inside your actual bed pillow under your head. After a few nights of sleeping on this charm, you will start to remember your dreams more clearly and expect some psychic impressions to start coming through.

Spell For Thursday – Classic Witch Bottle

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Classic Witch Bottle

This type of charm is an old one, and is a classic spell to protect your home. It was originally intended as a way to protect against witchcraft, but its a common form of protection magick today.

You will need a number of things, though you can adapt or modify the exact contents:

A jar with a tight lid

Pieces of broken glass

Nails or pins (rusty is best)

A pinch or two of dried rosemary and/or rue

Vinegar

(SIDE NOTE: You can add your blood to this type of bottle for more personal protection for your home. If you live in an apartment and can’t bury the jar outside put it as close to your front door as you can. I have also added hot candle wax from my personal spell/ritual candle by pouring it over the top of everything to make it even stronger.)

The exact amount of any items will depend a lot on how big a jar you use. Fill the jar with broken glass, rusty nails or other sharp bits of metal. Pieces of broken plates would work ok too. Fill the rest of the jar with vinegar, lemon juice or sour wine. If you want to be really authentic, add a little urine in their too.

Seal the jar tightly, and bury it outside your front door. A witch bottle will protect your house for years.

Place half of the ingredients into the jar in the way that feels right to you.

When the jar is halfway through, place your piece of paper folded in three into the jar.

Then place the rest of the ingredients on top of it in the jar.

Put the lid on the jar screwing down as tightly as you can.

Light your candle when it starts to drip, tip the jar on its side and slowly turn it, allowing the candle to drip on to the spot where the lid and jar meet. Keep turning the jar slowly until it is completely sealed.

               REPEAT 3 Times – “I ask the Universe to allow my request to come to fruition

On Litha/the Summer Solstice.

Triple Goddess and Horn God please let this request

I have made go out into the Universe and

come to fruition at Litha/the Summer Solstice.

These are my words! This is my will! So mote it be! (or however

you end your spells.)”
