LAMMAS - LUGHNASADH CIRCLE CELEBRATION (First Harvest)

You are invited to join us for this years Lammas - Lughnasadh Celebration and Ritual. We will be gathering to do this magical work. If you have never attended such a celebration, but have always wished to experience your first circle, this will be ideal for you, and also those who have experience.

This event is done in daylight, so people feel safe to travel to an unfamiliar place in the bush, the hall is within the township, so it is not isolated.

This event is offered and open to the community.

This is a group for anyone interested in Ritual Circles and Celebrations, gathering with like-minded people who celebrate the Earths Cycles, Magic, Totemism and the Seasons. The Earthwise Tribe is dedicated to Sacred Ceremony & Community Gatherings. All skill levels are welcome. I started this group to meet and walk together with others on their spiritual paths. Looking forward to growing, life stretching and exploring with everybody. All paths welcome.

There is disabled access, and if you need to sit through everything, you can do that also, in the comfortable, padded sturdy chairs provided in the hall.

I hope you can join us for this Celebration. and then we will share a feast together as each attendant will bring a plate of food to share.

“As the wheel turns…first harvest. Life is affirmed in Earth’s bounty. Cornucopias spill over life is full. Sweaty bodies test their vigour…”

When I think of the season of Summer, with its very hot days and its abundance of sunshine, I think of Lammas, or Lughnasadh, one of the most important Sabbats of the year. It is a time of harvest, particularly of grains. Grains and the foods made from them were an important part of the diet of our mostly European ancestors. A good harvest then ensured enough food for the tribe to eat through the barren, cold months of Winter.

Our personal Earthwise focus of this event.

During our celebration of Lammas, we perform Magic to banish that which we no longer need in our lives. As summer winds down to the coming of Autumn, we use the power of Fire as a means to perform some exorcising Magic. Fire Magic is very potent, and has been used successfully for millennia to bring about change. Fire is a purifying force. In our purification rites, we will burn special Australian Magickal Herbs, to banish negativity. This Sabbat has been honoured as a time of sacrifice to banish unwanted things from our lives, such as poverty, sickness and loneliness.

I so deeply look forward to your attendance, if you have any questions you may contact me on 0409 986 095

Wise & Blessed Be
