This week we are diving into the Witch’s Sabbat, Lughnasadh also known as Lammas. This year in the Western Hemisphere it is on August 1st, and February 1st in the Southern Hemisphere. Lughnasadh marks the halfway point between the summer solstice (Litha) and the fall equinox (Mabon). We will be diving into some history, traditions, and ideas in which you could introduce celebrating Lughnasadh in your practice.
