Honoring The Harvest: Lughnasadh Rituals And Ceremonies by EsotericTemple: 7:03am On Jan 08
Lughnasadh is the first of the three harvest Sabbats and is also known as Lammas in Scotland, where it is celebrated on 1 August.

The word ‘Lughnasadh’ means ‘the funeral games of Lugh’. Lugh was the Irish Sun God and he hosted the games in honor of Tailte, his foster mother – hence the presence of the corn dolly. This day originally coincided with the first reapings of the harvest, giving the first seeds and fruit for storage to ensure future crops. At this time autumn begins; the Sun God is not yet dead, but allegorically loses some of his strength as the nights grow longer and the Sun rises farther towards the south.

For the feast afterward, it is usual to have cider and bread. The colors for dressing your altar, if you choose to use one, are red and orange.

After you have finished this ritual, join in with a communal activity such as a walk in a forest or, when in an urban situation, through parks or alongside water.
