🌽 Celebrating Lammas 🌽

LUGHNASADH | August 1

🕯️ Decorations: cornucopia, bread basket, corn dolly, sunflowers

🌿 Incense: peppermint, chamomile, eucalyptus, rosemary

🥧 Food: wild berries, bread, beer, cider, corn, grains, potatoes, rice, grapes, pears, nuts

It is now high summer and the union of sun and earth has produced the first harvest. It is a time of gathering in and giving thanks for abundance. Feasting, market fairs, games and bonfires are the order of the day. Active growth is slowing and darker days are coming…

Rituals to celebrate:

🥳 With people, have a popcorn party.

🍽️ In the kitchen, bake your own bread and brew your own beer.

🎨 Get crafty, by making beeswax candles to keep some warmth and light in the coming cold seasons.

💃 Dress up, with fire-safe clothes in colors of yellow, orange, green, brown, or red.

📜 Write in your journal, about what you are harvesting in your life at the moment.

🔮 Meditate, about how hard you’ve worked this year and rest on your accomplishments.

Other ideas to celebrate:

Learn how to preserve the harvest, from drying herbs to canning fresh produce.

Toast the sunset to honor the sun before it starts resting.

Make corn dolls out of cob husks.

Enjoy the fresh air and nature while you still can.

Dance around a bonfire.

Things to Research Before Working with the Fae

Research is the most important thing to do before heading into Faery work and witchcraft. You want to have a lot of in depth and versatile knowledge covering many areas of the topic so you’ll be able to understand and interact with the Fair Folk! If you don’t want to work with the Fair Folk you can use this list to help yourself understand them and take the proper measure if you ever stumble upon them. I know the list could go on forever but I’m compiling the topics I find build a good foundation of understanding. I have compiled this list to give those interested guidance and a push in the right direction, it is best you do your own research before asking other’s personal knowledge and opinions!!

The Basics

Terminology ( Fae, faery, fairy, changeling, seelie, unseelie, sidhe, etc)

The Origins of the Fae (Tuatha de Dannan, Aos Sí, Tylwyth Teg)

Faeries in Different Cultures: Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Gaulish, French), Norse, Influences from Greek and Roman culture.

Folklore & Myths!! ex. Oisin and Tír na nÓg , Fenian Cycle, Arthurian Legend. 

Celtic Gods, Goddesses & Heroes- strong influences and connections to the Fae

Types of Faeries (study diverse types from pixies,brownies, pooka to Kelpies, Bwbach and Red caps) *Make sure you can at least answer who, what and where about them.

The Otherworlds (Tir na Nog, Caer Arianrhod, Annwn, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, etc.)

Faery Landmarks (fairy tree, fairy ring, fairy hill)

Signs of the Fae

Sacred Trees and Plants (Hawthorn) 

Protection!! very important

*Bonus if you learn Celtic Culture

Getting into Working with Them

Connecting to Nature and the Land

How to Banish Faeries & Protect yourself, house, family, etc.

Faery Behaviour and Proper Etiquette

Proper Offerings, How to give an Offering

Animals associated with the Fair Folk and Why? (raven, deer, etc)

Faery Festivals and Holidays (Samhain, Midsummer, Beltane)

Why certain things offend them- iron, saying “thank you”,etc.

The Courts (Seelie, Unseelie, trooping fairies, solitary)

Setting up a Faery Altar

How to work with them in Rituals 

Faery Flowers, herbs and crystals

A proper and personal way to communicate with them!!this means developing psychic ability, tarot, meditation, signs, etc.

Hagstones, heptagram/faery star

**if you have more topics, books or anything else feel free to add some!

There is a lot to learn about Wicca/Witchcraft and sometimes it can get pretty overwhelming. Here are a few things you can research if you’re stuck! I made sure to include the absolute basics such as “Paganism vs Wicca vs Witchcraft” but also the more in-depth, yet still important, research items such as “History of Wicca”

This one will be updated regularly! (Version: 1, Last updated: 13th of February 2021)
