Today is Lammas, this is a Pagan festival called a Sabbat. It is the beginning of the harvest season. Corn and Wheat fields will be ripe and golden now ready for reaping. At this time Plants will begin to wither and drop their seeds that will be reborn next Spring. The earth is going through a transition now where darkness is beginning to take over light, nights will slowly become longer and days shorter. Death is taking over life as flowers begin to die and leaves will begin to fall from trees, and cold is taking over warmth as we head into Autumn.

Today is also known as Lughnasadh (pronounced Loonasa) In Celtic times the day was a celebration of the great Sun God Lugh. the word Lughnasadh means praise Lugh. It was a time of giving thanks to the Sun God for the harvest and giving offerings of bread, corn and wheat to him. A bonfire would be built called a Lughfire where the offerings would be thrown into it.

This is also a celebration of the Goddess who after laying with the God at Beltane is now in her Mother Aspect and has given birth to the harvest bounty we see.
