Dear Pagan friends: How will you celebrate Lammas or Lughnasadh on August 1st?

Question

Well I am a bit set in my ways. So I will most likely decorate mt alter, do a fertility dance for my husband and then feast away the night.

Answer 1

Probably a simple ceremony so my kids can participate. Happy Lughnasadh everybody!!

Answer 2

I always enjoy decorating my alter, and  preforming the harvest ritual! ^_^

Answer 3

I will be getting ready for my birthday on August 2nd. I am the "first harvest" (firstborn) of my parents.

Answer 4

I'm not sure why your planning on a fertility dance when Lammas is a harvest festival, but to each their own.  We're having an open circle and donating blood at the local Red Cross blood drive.  Since I view Lammas/Lughnasadh as a time when the god/goddess sacrificed themselves in the form of our crops, I thought the "sacrifice" of blood fit in well with the theme.

Answer 5

I'm going to be at my lakeside cabin tomorrow, so I'll probobly honour the summer ending, and I'll meditate by the lake, swim in the lake, and read in the forest. :). I can't bring any of my tools (candles, oils, my wand, chalice) etc, because my family up there doesn't know about me. So i'll just relax and appreciate nature and summer :)

EDIT** and eat bread of course

Answer 6

will all gather down by the bay and each of us will bring a different essential oil....each brings a candle and lights it according to the star sign....then we will sacrifice a local virgin and make it look like it was a drug-related murder.....and then maybe eat some humus and wheat toast...whta about you?

I'm kidding.....hello?....I don't even like humus....-wendy

Answer 7

I will be honoring nature sea-side with my sweetie who surprised me last night with plans he made for us for a weekend away to Cape Cod.  As he is just beginning to learn more about Wicca, we can have a nice chat on the beach about what Lughnasadh is and why/how it is celebrated by Wiccans, and then we can go out for an appropriate "feast" later.  I will probably take a solitary walk at some point and just have a chat with my Gods while enjoying the great outdoors by the ocean.
