Lammas RituaC Use this Lam1nas ritual to express gratitude for your blessings. It's the time of year when the apples and grapes are ripe for the plucking, the fields are full and lush, and we're grateful for the food we have on our table . Thi ritual al o honors the cycle of rebirth.

Spend time before the ritual to decorate your altar with symbols of the season and get your Lammas Incense ready to burn.

Have a candle on your altar to represent the archetype of the Harvest Mother-something in orange, red, or yellow. Have something that represents Earth and its gifts. This could be a bowl of grain, wheat sabbat doll, or a craft you've made with this intent. If you have baked something in honor of Lammas have a slice on your altar for the ritual. A goblet of ritual ale cider, or wine i optional.

When you are ready to begin, cleanse your space by mentally pushing out all negative energy with your besom. Then define your circle and call the elements. Visualize a white light flowing creating the circle. This is your sacred space to hold your ritual. If you have other variation plea e feel free to use them.

After calling the elements and returning to center, light your Harvest Mother candle, and say,

' Mother of the Harvest with your sickle and basket bless me with further abundance, and bounty.'

Now take your representation of earth in your hand and focus your mind on Earth's gifts, while saying, I give thanks for Earth's gifts, stability, security, food, and soil.

I give thanks for Eath's bessings movement, breath atmosphere, and thought.

I give thanks for Earth's fortune, tran formation light, warmth, and energy.

I give thanks for Earth's offerings, creation, emotion, love, and life."

If you are using something you've baked, hold it up in the air, and say, "The bounty is here, and I am thankful."

Now is the time to eat your food and drink. Take a moment to meditate on the Earth's cycle of rebirth.

When you are ready, close your circle, and di miss the elements at this time.
