Summer is the union of Sun and Earth that come together in order to produce the First Grain Harvest. As one of the eight major annual sabbats/festivals of the Wheel of the Year, it is a time for gathering with family and community to give thanks for abundance. “Lammas” is derived from “Loaf Mass” and highlights the importance of the first grain and loaves of the harvesting cycle as well as appreciation of the continuity of life. As the present harvest feeds the community through the long winter months, it is celebrated and recognized for its role in the cycle of life as it also contains the seed of all future harvests, rebirth and regeneration.
