RITUAL FOR LAMMAS<br />
Sue Penney<br />
As we head into full summer, this is the time of<br />
harvest and plenty. It is the time to reap what we<br />
have sown and tended throughout the year so far.<br />
Lammas rituals usually are catered around baking and<br />
eating bread, whether in the shape of a god or just<br />
baking bread for yourself or your family. It is about<br />
using the plentiful ingredients around you that are<br />
there, provided by nature.<br />
At this time of year, food is usually plentiful. My take<br />
on this would be to get your hands stuck into the<br />
dough, knead out your frustrations pound down the<br />
dough and then when it has risen and you knead for<br />
the second time, think on all the positive things that<br />
you want for the coming months.<br />
You could also make some jam from the fruits that<br />
are plentiful, whether, from strawberries that you<br />
have grown in your garden or even better if you can<br />
go and forage for blackberries later in the summer,<br />
the hedgerows are usually teeming with them.<br />
When you make the jam the stirring is a great way to<br />
impart positive energy into your culinary creation. Be<br />
careful not to leave it and let it burn though, and<br />
remember that jam gives some of the worse burns so<br />
if you do splash some on your skin wash it off<br />
immediately with cold water. It’s better to not get any<br />
on your skin in the first place of course!!<br />
You can give the jam as lovely witchy gifts to your<br />
friends and family, as it will be imbued with your<br />
magic charms of love and goodwill.<br />
Why not bake up a storm of bread, cakes, jam tarts<br />
etc and share it with your loved ones around a lovely<br />
midsummer fire.<br />
Happy Lammas!<br />
