Do not ever apologize for trying your best. People can't respect and appreciate the fact that you put so much of yourself in these videos then fuck them you're doing great please keep the videos coming
As I am now including my boyfriend and children in sabbats and witchy holidays, I appreciate the more inofrmative videos like this. You tend to be rather midline, not making things about following Redes or laws, thus making things friendly for witches like myself. Thank you for that. Keep being awesome and sharing your wealth of information!
Not gonna lie... it really hit me how July is a winter month in the southern hemisphere. I always knew that the seasons were flipped but I never thought about the months!
Lammas is my favorite festival. It was the first festival I celebrated after becoming Pagan and this time of year has always been a favorite of mine, the beginning of autumn. In my area we don’t grow a lot of wheat, at least not anymore. Hay is our number one agricultural crop and beef cattle the number one livestock commodity. Hay is essential to the survival of the cattle through the winter. By mid to late August the last of the hay is usually put up. I always include a mini hay bale on my Lammas altar to give thanks for the hay crop. Although I don’t have cattle, I do have other small livestock and know all to well how miserable things get when we run out of hay before spring arrives! We celebrate with a outside feast around a campfire with friends and family. I always make zucchini bread, which is sweet bread using zucchini squash. Usually using squash from my own garden. I try to use as much from my own garden as possible and get as much locally as I can. I do this all the time, but make a special effort for this meal. We have blackberry wine from a local winery and cap off the weeks festivities with a trip to a local agricultural fair. Hope you enjoy your Lammas! Start some traditions!
This is my first holiday as a witch too! I enjoyed a night under the stars, and tomorrow I'm going to have a picnic in the woods. Thank you for sharing your story 💛
Ah Lammas is actually one of my favorites!! How could it be forgotten?! It's when the garden is the most abundant, I can bake some bread, the weather is great for a picnic lunch or dinner, we could sit long into the night around a fire hanging out with friends and drinking beer, enjoying how green and lush everything is on a forest walk, etc. Thank you, this was quite in depth! I always look forward to these how to celebrate videos as well as your seasonal altar videos!!
I think it was amazing that you explained that Lammas and Lughnasadh come from two different cultures💖 I celebrate Lughnasadh being Welsh with Irish ancestors and I get so happy when people become more educated with Celtic culture because it has meshed into other cultures celebrations, which theres nothing wrong with that but it's good to know the origin💖 this video is amazing, I really would love to see your channel grow bigger💖 many blessings🌒🌕🌘
I'd love this too. If you do can you include places to get the corn from as well? Living in a big city it's not something I've ever seen for sale before.
This was extremely helpful!! I’m a new witch (elemental, I also use runic magic) and I’ve been wanting to celebrate some holidays with my friends!! Knowing that Lammas bread is SUPPOSED to be shared in folklore is great to know for this purpose!
This is the BEST information about this fire festival!! I have been searching for an interesting and informative video to share with my students from the Caribbean.. thank you kindly ❤️
Lammas, the forgotten holiday. ;P Thanks for sharing your research! Edit: Celebrating Lammas with a Celiac husband will be a real creative challenge to me this year. Maybe I should make that video.
August 1 always makes me a little sad, because there’s hints of fall already- summer birds are gone already, crickets start. Maybe what’s needed is a festival to celebrate and mark the occasion. Will pay more attention next Lughnasa. And I need the ritual for protection of livestock! Very informative, thanks Hearth.
your videos are so helpful! I’ve been practising for just over a year now and i’ve been extremely unmotivated for some reason recently. This video has made me so excited to celebrate!! 💖
Hearth, this was a well organised and very informative video, especially for new Pagans. It's quite evident that you have done your research. Love your enthusiasm. Thanks so much!!!!
I’ve never commented before but your videos have become the number one most helpful tool for my witchy path. You explain everything so wonderfully. I watched this video from start to finish and then restarted it to take notes! I’ve been making a Grimoire “draft” in my notes on my phone before I commit to putting pen to paper and I just wanted to thank you so much for being so so so helpful!!!!
Hiya. I'm glad it's not just me that takes notes ☺ it's great to hear not just ways to celebrate but also the context and history of the traditions too.
@HearthWitch: "A little bit of a disclaimer, In this little video, I'm not going to be able to explain absolutely everything to do with this festival" ***proceeds to talk for 40 minutes and creates the best documentary about Lughnasadh on the internet...."***
This year I'm making mushroom soup bread bowls and salmon that I caught this summer. I may even steep fireweed flowers in some wine. I'm so excited! I also started painting festive flags to string together in a banner. I'll add a few every year :)
We can’t have bonfires because we live in the desert and it’s too dangerous. Also it’s too hot and dry to be in front of a fire anyway. So we cook our feast at a friend’s house on a BBQ grill. We write wishes on Oak chips and sprinkle them over the hot coals, then cook our feast together over the grill.
this video is amazing! I love to watch videos about Sabbats whenever one is near and this one is the most informative and best one I’ve seen! I’ve been Wiccan for over a couple years and I learned something new about Lammas today!
This is one of the best videos on the holiday I've ever watched. You offer so many wonderful, meaningful and approachable ways to honor the season. Thank you for sharing
The most influential part of my solitary learning so far has been seeing both how the Clergy and the solitaries celebrate the High Days. These are both supportive and inspirational as I craft my personal rites. Thank you all!
I've been on my spiritual journey for a couple years now and I ❤ the seed gathering. I am very earth connected so this really touches my heart. Love the video with all the information shared.
As a pagan sister, I'm so happy that I have a wonderful Father Figure in Lugh. Truly Lughnasadh is one of the best of the three Harvest festivals to give thanks. The three Harvest festivals Lughnasadh, Mabon, and Samhain are basically a extended Thanksgiving long before it existed. May you have a blessed Lughnesadh dear sister. ☀️🌙🌻🌾
I am in the middle of working on the Lammas ritual my circle will be doing together. What a great video to energize my work, your videos are phenomenal. Thank you for all you do.
For anyone who wants a quick spelling guide for the deities section of the video, here is the list she provided. They took forever for me to find so I hope this helps someone lol: Lugh Demeter Persephone Loki Thor Odin Baal Ceres Eire Ceridwen Inanna Ishtar Kor Dumuzid Adonis
I loved this video! I looked at a few before I found this and yours is by far the best at explaining so many aspects. Thank you for taking the time to make this ❤️
Your voice is so soothing, thank you so much, I was looking for small ideas I could do today and this is exactly what I needed! Also, your hair is amazing! Happy Lammas, blessed be!
omg when i was a young lad i learned a song from raymond Bucklands complete book of witch craft about John Barely corn... the version i learned is different from what youll find on youtube. and Meadow sweet is an old fashioned herb most people today dont know much about. im happy to share the lyrics for john barelycorn if anyone is interested
Anyone else have an overwhelming urge to add dried rose petals in their practice for Lammas? I'm only at 15:19 so I'm not sure if she mentions it, but it's like I'm being told to add them, so you best believe I will.
Thanks for this extremely well-done and informative video. I've been a witch trying to celebrate this holiday for decades, but it's been a very difficult one to connect with. Maybe it's because all this time I've lived in the city. I'd bake some bread or so, but...the only thing I know about this time of year in the city is that it's bloody hot and gross outside and I don't wanna do very much. Bleah. BUT...I just moved to a rural community in Washington State, USA and this is our first Sabbat in our new home. In the country, the connection to this holiday has changed. I am carefully marking what's active in the plant and animal kingdoms here right now. The swallows swoop and fly constantly over our field, and so do the eagles and hawks and owls (I've never seen so many raptors before!). They all have babies to feed, so they're all pretty busy out there hunting. Yarrow and clover is flowering in abundance. Best of all are the BERRIES. This region is known for it's berry farms, so we have a plethora of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries everywhere to celebrate with. NOW this holiday has hit Home and shall forever be special. This year is our First Harvest of decades worth of work getting ourselves to our new farm. Lammas/Lughnasdha will be a feast of thanksgiving for all our blessings, and a pledge of love to this land to keep it well. May you and all the beloved children of the Earth Mother feel the same blessings I have been granted. Blessed Be, so Mote it be.
Now is the time for me to be working with crystals and I am reading a beginner's guide to about crystals and keeping a journal about each crystal and I started with the Black Obsidian Arrow Head Crystal. And I will be doing each crystal for a week that way I know if is is working for me and so far with this crystal and it has only been a few days and I find myself connecting to it quite a lot.
Thankfully I can celebrate in the broom closet and outside because my birthday just so happens to be on the same day. I'll just say it's my birthday party. Lol
Loved this video! Would you be able to do a video about hoodoo and making powders- such as floor powders for prosperity and negativity banishing? Also do you have any knowledge of traditions around house spirits/faeries? ☺
I hate living in the middle of the desert. I can’t do any of the fun witchy things like walking in the forest collecting berries and planting😫! Hahaha thank you for the video I am so excited to celebrate my first Lammas Day! 🥰🌙✡️
Just a couple of ideas for witchy desert things to do. Plant succulents and rock garden , lavender love sun and dryness. You can also dry things in the sun- buy at store and prepare at home. Hope you have fun
Johnny Appleseed was a real man, but he only planted apple trees to take advantage of early US laws that stated you own land if you planted enough trees on the land. Johnny Barleycorn sounds much nicer in my opinion. haha
Can i ask How long is a sabbat altar ideally to be kept up? Until the next sabbat? Another question is, what do we do with the food offerings after such time?
great info! thank u for doing ur homework on this holiday and sharing. definately gonna use some of ur ideas! but i have to ask-i LOVE ur lip color. can u give me the name of tge lipstick ur wearing?? thanks so much!
Fourth 😁 Really helpful, I'm making notes about wicker men in particular. I could also re watch the film although it's a slightly different vibe.... Also I need to plan a gluten free way to celebrate wheat and bread...
I will let her know. I did say it wasn't likely to be your hair 😉 It looks good anyway. I'd like to add more feathers around the house so I might try something similar....
This is just speculation, but as corn became incorporated in other areas in probably became an important crop and now it would only make sense to incorporate it in the festival. I also assume that with how difficult history can be( between the lose of culture, histories & oral traditions that were not written down by the people practicing them, and the outright destruction of history & traditions by invaders & colonizers) some things have become muddled and it might be easy to accidentally attribute things where they would not be. Especially considering there are so many different facets of history to be studied.
I feel like I just betrayed everything I've ever learned and should take some time off from my practice. We had to put my boyfriend's familiar down this morning as she had become viscous and began randomly attacking me to the point of causing me to have to have surgery to put my calf muscle and skin back together.
As far as I know the Anglo Saxons were Germanic in descent and colonised only England. Whereas the Celts were across all of the UK but primarily Wales, Ireland and Scotland using an alternative Celtic language which is still spoken in these regions.
Do not ever apologize for trying your best. People can't respect and appreciate the fact that you put so much of yourself in these videos then fuck them you're doing great please keep the videos coming
I love being Wiccan. There are so many reasons to celebrate.
As I am now including my boyfriend and children in sabbats and witchy holidays, I appreciate the more inofrmative videos like this. You tend to be rather midline, not making things about following Redes or laws, thus making things friendly for witches like myself. Thank you for that. Keep being awesome and sharing your wealth of information!
Not gonna lie... it really hit me how July is a winter month in the southern hemisphere. I always knew that the seasons were flipped but I never thought about the months!
Cailleach is pronounced "Kai-lock" or "K-eye-lock", it is also the word for hag and witch in modern irish!

It is going to be my first festival this year IK it's time for litha but it's raining already .💖💖
The calendar I was just looking at says "blood ritual, animal or human sacrifice" Do you include a sacrifice?
This is my first holiday as a witch too! I enjoyed a night under the stars, and tomorrow I'm going to have a picnic in the woods. Thank you for sharing your story 💛

I'd love this too. If you do can you include places to get the corn from as well? Living in a big city it's not something I've ever seen for sale before.
I second that.
This was extremely helpful!! I’m a new witch (elemental, I also use runic magic) and I’ve been wanting to celebrate some holidays with my friends!! Knowing that Lammas bread is SUPPOSED to be shared in folklore is great to know for this purpose!
This is the BEST information about this fire festival!! I have been searching for an interesting and informative video to share with my students from the Caribbean.. thank you kindly ❤️
Lammas, the forgotten holiday. ;P Thanks for sharing your research!
Edit: Celebrating Lammas with a Celiac husband will be a real creative challenge to me this year. Maybe I should make that video.
My friend I'm celebrating with this year is Celiac as well. I've been trying to plan around that too. :)

I'm so glad they are a help, that means so much xx
But as long as you can make some sense of them that's what matters. I know what you mean tho, most of my notes at uni ended up in some strange code!
When you said Vervain my cat's attention went to the computer and the video, her name is Vervain. :)
Good video.

As I write this it's almost Lammas and it'll be my first Lammas I never celebrated it before
I love your accent.

John Barley kinda makes me think of Johnny Appleseed 😗 I wonder if there's a correlation...
Oooo same here!
Johnny Appleseed was a real man, but he only planted apple trees to take advantage of early US laws that stated you own land if you planted enough trees on the land. Johnny Barleycorn sounds much nicer in my opinion. haha
@@catecoxunderwood1472 Ooh 😶 I didn't know that. Thanks for educating me 😋
Great video!!! Thanks!!!
thank You🌹
Impressive knowledge ☺️
Damn I missed it this year! Can I still celebrate it a bit late? I've been waiting for it but wasn't home
Do you also have a blog?
can it be crystal skulls and decor skulls like from michaels
So if I do not choose to work with the Fay should I still leave something out for them so that they won't be mischievous?
Is it appropriate to celebrate brigid for this holiday?
Been wondering the same thing.
even tho the deity i work with isnt associated with lughnassah can i still incorporate offerings to her during this sabbat
the band traffic has a song ...john barley corn must die .based on the old songs .
How about Banana Bread?
Can i ask How long is a sabbat altar ideally to be kept up? Until the next sabbat? Another question is, what do we do with the food offerings after such time?
I generally keep it up till I am ready to decorate for the next Sabbat, and food offerings are often buried to return them to the earth xx
@@HearthWitch thank you.
Are you in Southern hemisphere or in Southern hemisphere? What's about the equator countries?
I wanna see u set up ur lammas altar..i lov ur videos emensly
my research said handfasting is done during lughnassah
So, is Lughnasadh an ok time to start decorating for autumn?
Natural Disaster any time is a great time to decorate for autumn! 🍂

Really helpful, I'm making notes about wicker men in particular. I could also re watch the film although it's a slightly different vibe....
Also I need to plan a gluten free way to celebrate wheat and bread...
Also the witchlings want to know what is hanging from your pentagram Hearth? One says feathers and the other says hair (😮)
They're feathers. I found one feather earrings and decided to let it fill the gap before I add something else in its place xx
I will let her know. I did say it wasn't likely to be your hair 😉
It looks good anyway. I'd like to add more feathers around the house so I might try something similar....
Whatever you do, watch the 70's one, not the Nic Cage one.
Oh god! Don't worry, I only make such mistakes once 😂
Corn is a "new world" plant. So, how was the ancient Celts making corn dolls?
This is just speculation, but as corn became incorporated in other areas in probably became an important crop and now it would only make sense to incorporate it in the festival. I also assume that with how difficult history can be( between the lose of culture, histories & oral traditions that were not written down by the people practicing them, and the outright destruction of history & traditions by invaders & colonizers) some things have become muddled and it might be easy to accidentally attribute things where they would not be. Especially considering there are so many different facets of history to be studied.
Because British English calls grain corn, mostly wheat, I believe. American corn specifically is called maize.
@@tameramorrison8966 That is interesting. Thank you.
I feel like I just betrayed everything I've ever learned and should take some time off from my practice. We had to put my boyfriend's familiar down this morning as she had become viscous and began randomly attacking me to the point of causing me to have to have surgery to put my calf muscle and skin back together.
Sister,weren't the Anglo Saxons( Saxons) also Celts?
As far as I know the Anglo Saxons were Germanic in descent and colonised only England. Whereas the Celts were across all of the UK but primarily Wales, Ireland and Scotland using an alternative Celtic language which is still spoken in these regions.
Celts also ended up in northern France (Bretagne/Brittany) and the Northwest tip of Spain (Galicia).
