Ritual for Lammas

Embracing the First Harvest: Lammas Rituals for Abundance & Gratitude

As the Wheel of the Year turns, we arrive at Lammas (or Lughnasadh), the first harvest festival, celebrated on February 1st in Southern Hemisphere. This sacred time honors abundance, gratitude, and the cycle of life as we begin to reap the rewards of seeds—both literal and metaphorical—planted earlier in the year. It is a time of reflection, celebration, and giving thanks for the earth’s bounty.

At Dante’s Luxury, we believe in harnessing the energy of the seasons to deepen our spiritual practices. Here are some beautiful Lammas rituals to welcome abundance and honor the spirit of this festival:

1. Lammas Altar Setup

Create a sacred space to reflect the energy of the harvest season. Decorate your altar with golden hues, wheat, sunflowers, corn, and ripe fruits. Incorporate crystals like citrine, amber, and carnelian to amplify abundance and warmth. Add a Lammas candle infused with herbs like rosemary, basil, or chamomile to invite prosperity.

2. Bread Blessing Ritual

Bread has long been associated with Lammas (meaning "loaf-mass"). Baking your own bread is a powerful way to connect with the energy of the harvest. As you knead the dough, set intentions for prosperity and gratitude. Once baked, offer a piece to the earth as a token of appreciation, and share the rest with loved ones in a spirit of unity.

3. Gratitude & Abundance Meditation

Sit in a quiet space with a piece of wheat, grain, or a golden-hued crystal. Close your eyes and focus on all you have achieved and received. Visualize your abundance growing like a golden field ready for harvest. Speak affirmations of gratitude aloud, such as: “I am grateful for the blessings in my life. My efforts bear fruit in divine timing.”

4. Cleansing & Renewal with Herbal Smoke

Lammas is also a time to clear stagnant energy before the next cycle begins. Use our smudge sticks or smudge bombs to cleanse your space. Focus on releasing old patterns and making room for new opportunities as you let the smoke carry away what no longer serves you.

5. Fire Ritual for Strength & Transformation

Fire represents both the summer sun’s power and the transformation that comes with the harvest. Light a candle or a small outdoor fire and write down what you wish to release or manifest. As you burn the paper, envision your desires taking root and your burdens dissolving into the flames.

6. Offerings & Acts of Generosity

Lammas is a time to give back. Make an offering to nature—scatter seeds for birds, pour a libation of wine or honey onto the earth, or donate food to those in need. This act of generosity strengthens your connection to the cycles of abundance and ensures continued blessings.
