| Happy Lammas |
Here in the southwest this is the beginning of the mating season
for rattlesnakes, it is also the midpoint of the monsoon season. As I sit here writing this, I hear the
thunder rolling in and feel the power of the storm coming… It is a feeling of
belonging….
I often work with snake medicine and feel a great connection
to them…. I’ve worked with this energy for a long time… this is a feminine energy
one of instinctual wisdom… one that moves through monthly changes, in the
shedding of out grown skin… similar to Woman’s monthly shedding of unused
uterine lining...
A search of the
internet will take you too many pages filled with celebration ideas for this
day. There will be corn dollies, bread baking, spells of gratitude, and much
more…
| First Harvest Altar |
I am spending the day reflecting on all that I set into
motion this last spring…. There are many things to be thankful for in my life
and there are things that haven’t grown in the way I had anticipated. These are
areas I will look at and decide how I could have supported and encouraged
growth in these areas. I will also be celebrating the summer storm season
(monsoons)… hopefully it will rain enough that I can gather some for my altar….
I will also bake today… It will be a new recipe… Magic Cake!
May your First Harvest be one of bounty and blessing…
Have a Wicked Good Day!
