On this episode: As the Thunder moon becomes the Sturgeon moon, we collect the first harvest and find links between the festivals of Lammas and Pride.

* How to make a Corn Dolly

* They/Them, by David Gate, dedicated to Nex Benedict

* Hire Michelle!

* TAA episode about the Summer Solstice & Matariki

A correction: Michelle has corrected me that the Lammas fields are not cut, the animals are just brought in to graze on the long grasses. These meadows are actually a really interesting holdover from pre-enclosure communal farming! About Lammas Meadows
