The First Harvest
Happy Lammas/Lughnasadh! Known variously as Lammas (English) or Lughnasadh (Gaelic), the 1st of August is widely recognized in Western culture and the Anglosphere in particular as the ceremonial day of the first harvest as well as the high point of summer (and in some cultures the first day of autumn). Celebrated by both Pagans and Christians, Lammas is a day to break and commemorate the end of the growing season and the beginning of the harvest.
Here at PaganSquare, we’ve collected as many posts relating to Lammas and Lughnasadh as we can, both from our own website and others. We wish you a merry and bountiful harvest!
