The ripening full-bodied fruit of the land:
strawberries dripping juice down your chin,
leaving you sticky with a kiss,
raspberries like succulent nipples of the Goddess;
All the soft fruits reminding us
of the depth of sensual love.
All is coming to delicious ripeness,
the full pregnant belly of the goddess,
alive in the land within us,
the full expression of the Mother
in all Her succulence and beauty,
fully blossomed…
Lammas marks the moment between the harvest of hay and grain. It’s birthing time—the birthing of abundance, offerings, and blessings that have come into full ripeness and now can fill our hearts and bellies with succulent ecstasy.
This is the height of summer days, lazing in the sun, snoozing by the banks of a river, floating in warm water, and sharing precious time with those that we love.
During this sacred nexus, portal doors are held open to honor the cornucopia of plenty that will reach its zenith at Mabon (Fall Equinox).
So, we’re called to gather together, in gratitude, and celebrate what has come to fruition within our lives and hearts so far this year…
Come, celebrate what is abundant within you
Discover the abundant plant within, flowering with joy
Discover the abundant plant within, flowering with joy
During our annual Lammas ceremony,
you will:
Invoke the presence of the Grain Mother and invoke Her blessings
Connect with the powerful turn of the wheel–a time to focus on what you’ve reaped and all you’ve received
Weave the thread of the year, feeling the power of this practice both personally and collectively
Feel how the “seeds” planted at the beginning of the year and now ripening and how enjoying them is such a gift
You are the mystery:
Celebrating the wisdom you’ve gathered throughout the year, feasting on its succulent abundance
