Lammas, also called Lughnasadh, marks the first harvest of the year. Many Pagans and witches give thanks for the first grain, along with early apples, corn, and grapes. This guide covers the colors, symbols, Deities, herbs, crystals, and foods practitioners use for Lammas altars and spellwork.
Gold and yellow are the colors of Lammas, and our gold candles suit the day's harvest thanks.
