2024 Lammas Newsletter

 

August 2nd is Lammas, the first of three festivals celebrating Mother Earth’s bounty. Baking loaves from the first grains and offering them at a communal meal has always been central to these gatherings, going back to thousands of years before the Common Era. 

 

The Celts called this time Lughnasadh (loo-na-sa), Native Americans called it the Green Corn Festival and in Slavic Regions it is called the feast of the Big Glad Woman. Ireland celebrates Lammas as Big Sunday and farming communities gather at hundreds of traditional hilltop sites to set up craft fairs, feast, play games, and dance. A part of every one of these gatherings is a ceremonial meal where the first fruits of the harvest are shared in gratitude to Mother Earth. 

 

The feeling of abundance is very closely linked with gratitude, deep appreciation, and giving thanks to Mother Earth. The community that shared their harvest with all those who gathered together rejoiced because they could be together. It made their gratitude all the sweeter because it was shared. This way of life, where millennia ago people truly understood that sharing gratitude is deeply entwined with abundance. In lean times people shared with those who had less with an open heart, knowing that others would do the same for them when they were in need.

 

Now we long for such a community, one that values everyone and cares for each other’s children and elders. Since the Pandemic, there has been more loneliness than ever, often due to the isolation from working from home. Psychology Today published their magazine with a cover entitled “Where are my Friends?” The article explored the growing phenomena of loneliness and the deep effects on us.

There are other causes of increased loneliness which include mental health issues, poverty, political and racial divides and much more. We are all discovering how important family, close friends and community are for our well-being.

 

Genuine gratitude, expressed as a community is the first great truth about abundance. The trend towards the opposite is mega-wealth, hoarding whatever money and objects folks value believing others will steal if they don’t have electric fences and guards.

 

What is truly abundance? It is tapping into the truth of Love; the most powerful energy in the Universe. It is tapping into the wisdom of our bodies by listening to the message of our sensations. It is tapping into our imagination when we feel

expansive and alive, knowing it is our most powerful tool for creating. It is tapping into moments of awe and ecstatic transcendence using meditation, breathwork and sacred plants. 

 

Enjoy all these aspects of abundance, Love Linda
