It was August 1st, but I’m writing about it today.

Also known as Lammas, Lughnasadh is the first of three autumn celebrations in the Wheel of the Year.  Lughnasadh is celebrated on August 1, which is in the sign of Leo, when the sun reaches 15 degrees of Leo. Halfway between the summer solstice (Litha) and the fall equinox (Mabon), ancient communities marked the first harvest of the season with gathering of grains and baking bread. Because of this, early Christians referred to Lughnasadh as Lammas “loaf mass” and Lammastide is sometimes used in place of Lughnasadh. This from:https://www.mabonhouse.co/lughnasadh

I can always feel the tilt of the earth this time of year. Already the mornings are darker and evenings are darker earlier. I like it. There is a golden hue to things and not just that things can be very dry here in California.

I shall make some bread to celebrate. I plan on stocking up on some flour too as I read that because of the wildfires in Canada that the grain/wheat productions may be disrupted. I am still considering getting a grain mill but haven’t jumped on that band wagon yet.
