Lammas 1 August

Also known as Lughnasadh, Lugnasad (Celtic), Feast of Lugh,Loaf-mass, Cornucopia (Strega) or Thingtide (Teutonic). It represents the beginning of the harvest cycle.

In Western paganism, it is a grain festival which is sometimes called the Sabbat of the First Fruits.

Lammas or Lughnassadh honors the Celtic God Lugh, God of harvest, fire, light and sun who undergoes a shamanic sacrificial death and rebirth as a sheaf of grain at Lughnasadh, and/or the Barley God, who dies and is transformed into beer.
