Poem for Sabbats

Samhain begins the witches’ new year, and now Winter soon is here; the leaves fall, the harvest is done, so call your ancestors and let’s have some fun. 

Yule is the longest night, and signals the return of light. Everything is newly remade, and we wait for darkness to fade.

Imbolc we clean, cleanse and prepare for what the Spring may come to bear. Light the candles, light the fire, and build in yourself what does inspire. 

Ostara comes and Spring growth arrives, and all the Earth is truly alive. Winter is over and in it’s stead we bless our homes and our covensteads. 

Beltane, the fine May eve, we thank our gods for fertility. Bless the growing harvest and romance as we eat, drink, sing, and dance.

Litha is the longest day, the sun at it’s brightest but soon will fade. The Earth’s bounty is at it’s top, and abundance aids our spells nonstop. 

Lughnasadh, Lammas, both names are fine, herald the advent of harvest time. When fear and uncertainty are about, we ward our homes and both in and out. 

Mabon is a balance of seasons, where darkness and light remain within reason. The last harvest is called and the Summer is done, we give our thanks and farewell the sun. 

As every cycle begins once again, the wheel spins ‘round and we greet grandly Samhain.

Requested by @fish-egs. Thank you! :)

Cardinal Signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn - The angular signs are absolutely determined to get what they want. They are the Queens of the four seasons, and now is the time to receive what they have earned the right to. But this is not entitlement. It has taken tremendous work -both privately and externally to be where they are now. And nobody is going to come along and take any of that away  

~~ Aries by virtue of starting with no memory and nothing but a name, and overcoming the odds to ensure other people they have a name people won’t ever forget it. The aim is not searching for their place and purpose in the world, the intention is to walk and build a new path at the same time, one without any footprints to follow. ~  Cancer in regards to the inner life and finding a way to manage the emotional typhoons so that other people won’t notice or realise that something is wrong. This takes tremendous and private inner work, and it’s also imperative for Cancer remaining in control of themselves out there in the world of work, friends, business, and pleasure. ~  Libra is the relationship sign, but they know too well that love is fallible, that love can be taken, or fade into nothing. So Libras are also very focused on career success because their professional path is something they can control completely. They work hard to tick all the business boxes- demonstrating their competence, relentless work ethic, willingness to learn, forming close bonds with colleagues, and charming superiors with everything Libra offers in one.    ~ Capricorns never take the easy road. Even if they believe they have done just that, they just return to the start and end up working harder. Capricorns are allowed to fail, but they are not permitted to give anything less than everything. They need to quell their desire for instant gratification, and remember that quantity is not quality. And they also need to learn when enough has been done, there is nothing more to add, analyse, or do, except for rest.

Lughnasadh 101: A Guide

Autumn draws near and with it, comes Lughnasadh.

Lughnasadh, pronounced “LOO-nah-sah” and known also as Lammas, is a Celtic festival that occurs from the 31st of July through into the 1st of August. It was observed fervently throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man and marks the beginning of the harvest season.

Also called: Lúnasa (modern Irish), Lùnastal (Scottish Gaelic), Luanistyn (Manx Gaelic).

Lughnasadh is the celebration and ritual of the first harvest of fruit, wheat, and grain. This festival both acknowledges and celebrates the waning of light - Lughnasadh is the initiation of Winter preparation.

It is named for Lugh Lámhfada. and is in honour of his step-mother, Tailtiu who perished of exhaustion after clearing the fields of Ireland ready to be planted, sowed and seeded. Lughnasadh was originally a set of rituals, gatherings and funerary games (named Tailteann Games, or Áenach Tailteann) in honour of Tailtiu’s death and sacrifice.

Activities to be done during Lughnasadh:

Baking/Cooking: Sharing food is a good thing to do with each sabbat, especially those with agricultural ties. If you incorporate seasonal foods, and foods associated with the sabbat itself, it can be seen as an offering or as being done in honour of what you’re celebrating.

Take some time to enjoy nature: Lughnasadh is a time when the seasons are changing, so take this time to walk and enjoy the last that summer has to offer. Collect things whilst you walk to put on your altar if you have one.

Construct an altar: if this is something you do, decorate your altar with some of the items mentioned in the list above. If you’re pagan and have a deity who corresponds with this holiday, leave an offering on your altar. In Lugh’s case, he is a god known for his skills in craftmanship and His ability to turn His hand to anything. He is also known for playing the harp, so anything you have crafted or that has taken skill to create will be well received by Him.

Decorate your home: if you like, small decor changes can really get you in the mood and act as a celebratory act.

Bonfires: Invite friends and/or family to a bonfire. Not only is Lughnasadh a celebration of waning light and of the god Lugh, it is a celebration of fire. Share plans to remove negative habits or influences from your life with your loved ones, burn representatives of negativity, drink to future prosperity and toast to Lugh. Light a candle and do the same, if you are not yet an outed witch.

Craft: as mentioned before, Lugh is a god of craft and skill. Make something! Finish a project you’ve been putting off!  If you don’t want to do something in Lugh’s name, you can make dolls out of corn (a very traditional activity) and they can be left on an altar if you have one, used as decoration or turned into a poppet.

Acts of athelticism: The funerary games of Lughnasadh were its primary reason for creation. To honour this, you can do something on a small scale, such as jogging or yoga, or going to the gym, if you are able.

Trading: Bake some bread and give it to your friends/family/coven in exchange for herbs, or some canldes! That’s just an idea. but you get the gist of it. Lots of trading took place at historic Lughnasadh celebrations, as they assembly for this season festival was always large.

Feasting: Ties into the baking/cooking aspect, but using things that come from the first harvest is a good way to honour Lughnasadh and Tailtiu.

Moon phases & their meanings✨

*this will just be a short & sweet explanation of the moon phases & their meanings.

New moon: just like the name, it’s all about new things! It’s time to buckle up & start setting your intentions & foundation for what you wish to accomplish. The new moon is a rebirth - a fresh start…

Waxing crescent: now that you’ve set your intentions with the new moon, the waxing crescent is all about making that known to the universe & really putting it out there! New possibilities & opportunities may be coming!

First quarter: struggles may arise during this time but the first quarter encourages us to keep pushing forward! It’s time to start your plans & get them going no matter what stands in the way of them. Anything is possible!

Waxing gibbous: this is all about reflection! Your energy is raising the further you get to the full moon & so right now is the time to reflect on your path. Perhaps things aren’t working out as planned but a new way presents itself…

Full moon: Full moons are great times to come into balance with your own self and life by clearing way for all of the positives & manifestations to come through while clearing out all of the negatives you don’t need/want. It’s a time to be greatful for everything!

Waning gibbous: this is a time for deep internal reflection on how you feel. Instead of looking at what you can do or change, look at things for what they are and how you feel about them. Reflect on the people & things in your life!

Third quarter: now that you’ve reflected under the waning gibbous, it’s time to do something about it!! Get rid of all the negativity or things/people you don’t want in your life & celebrate things in your life you love. Let all the bad shit go!!

Waning crescent: this is a period of reflection that allows you to relax until the next cycle of moon phases. Relax, be present with yourself, be completely open & ready for what’s to come for you! It’s okay to just have a little down time.

🌱 little “good news” summer spell 🌤 gather clear quartz, mint leaves, and a handful of wildflowers. place them in a sachet and with both hands cup the sachet and take in the refreshing scent. with your eyes closed, while breathing in through your nose, think to yourself the mantra “beauty is on the horizon,” then slowly breathe out through your mouth. place the sachet on your windowsill or somewhere else in direct sunlight for the rest of the day. i’d recommend pressing the flowers the next morning.
