Lammas
(February 2nd)
Lammas is the time of the 1st harvest. The God is now the embodiment of wisdom as the grandfather, the Goddess is the mother/Gaia. The Goddess has gifted all on the land a bountiful harvest with abundance.
The Lammas Altar
Incense
Mix all dried plant parts together and burn small amounts on coal tablets. Be warned that plant material smells very different when burnt and is sometimes not as pleasant as you might expect. If you don't want to burn them place them in a small wooden bowl and use as an altar or table decoration. |
Family Activities
Essential Oils Always use true essential oils and essential oil mixes when working with energies as these carry the right vibration for the purpose. Fragrant oils won't work as well & can be very harsh.
To make a simple Lammas mix put two drops each of the following in 10ml of carrier oil (Jojoba, grapeseed, olive oil) then shake well.
