Lammas 2021

Feast of First Fruits, Nos Gwyl Awst

Though the Sun has waned we feel his full power as the earth has absorbed his heat. Fertile fields and gardens are at their peak and we begin to reap the bounty of the first harvest. The magic of earth, rain, sun and pollinating breezes abounds. We may seek shade, a cooling rain shower and a soft breeze while we know that it is the power of the Sun King and the nurture of Gaia that sustain all living things. Give thanks and share the abundance.
