Lammas or Lughnasadh - the blessing of the bread - is today and holds its own in the 8 pointed Wheet of the Year as well as having a historical connection to Christian tradition. Markers of the turning of time always invite reflection and are an opportunity for engaging the sacred and offering gratitude; perhaps time for a little revelry too. I consider this process my spiritual path and as my own wheel of time continues to spiral gently through my seasons I acknowledge the continued blurring of the lines between religion and spirituality. 

Sunflowers, sunshine, and the loaves of bread generated from the first official harvest of the season are symbols of the transition from July to August and remind me of the abundance that is all around us. I recognize the generosity of Mother Earth, still, even in these times of unrest. I daydream of laughing children with high stores of energy, enthusiasm, and wonder while carefully observing the beauty of the heavily laden apple tree holding court in the back garden. This is the eve of August. 

Summer canning, barbecues, and concerts in the park have added depth and dimension to my summer experience and my garden is prolific. Herbal medicine and crafting as well as intuitive painting and creative projects such as my art to wear blessing bead taliswoman(s) have added a sweetness to this summer that I haven't experienced in several years. I've reconnected with my Muse - her name is Vivian by the way - who has opened a path of creativity and collaboration that delights my soul. Two lovely nieces have added their wild hearts and joyful silliness to this summer too.  Of course, they are all about glitter. Everywhere.

My sincerest wish is for you to have a very blessed and beautiful summer harvest.
