The first harvest of the year, and the first ritual for this year’s class. It’s one of the (several) ways we are very different from other ‘Witchcraft 101’ courses. We believe that you can participate in ritual with very little preparation, that our ancestors didn’t have to work so hard on their spiritual life, but allowed the sacred n, and therefore were sacred.

Last night, we celebrated Lammas by recognizing the first feast of the harvest and giving thanks to the Lord and Lady for the gifts we received throughout the year. The gift of a friendship re-found and re-mended, of deeper understanding of the body and how to heal it, of re-emerging self-esteem, of the students themselves.

All while the sunset and my workroom turned to red and gold, we created sacred space and gave thanks.

May the feast of the first harvest bring you joy.
