Lughnasadh is one of the eight witch’s holidays—or sabbats—on the Wheel of the Year. It’s the first of the three harvest festivals, celebrated around August 1st in the Northern Hemisphere. Long ago, our ancestors were out in the fields cutting wheat, barley, oats, and rye—the grains that would see them through the long, dark winter. They baked the very first loaf of bread as a sacred act, then offered a portion back to the land and the spirits in deep gratitude. For us modern witches, Lughnasadh is a celebration of energy cycles: ✨ What intentions, projects, or goals did you plant earlier this year? ✨ What’s finally ripening and ready to harvest? ✨ What needs to be released—or transformed—as we move toward the darker half of the year? It’s a perfect time for spells of prosperity, abundance, gratitude, and protection for both the crops on your table and the seeds of magick you’ve been tending in your life. So, bake that bread (we’re obsessed with rosemary loaves for this sabbat!), pour out a little offering to the land spirits, and revel in all your witchy goodness as you honor Lughnasadh. 🌾✨🌙
