I was very excited for this challenge and to celebrate my first Lammas. I consider myself a decent cook but a not-so-great baker! So instead of baking āregularā bread, I decided to make cornbread from scratch. It came out pretty tasty! I didnāt have a chance to get a lot of the produce and other things that I wanted for the day, so I used what I had which was Cabbage!
By the time I was done, it looked more like a traditional southern soul food meal. Not necessarily what I was going for, but I think the offering was still acceptable
Sending our wonderful coven blessings and a Happy Lammas/Lughnasadh
WOW! Look at all these tasty things! You are all amazing! I definitely saved some of these recipes
@nesserinne those puff pastries look just perfect! @Kasandra pesto on anything is definitely for me! @IrisW@sharond@Jeannie1 your baked goods are so beautiful and I bet they are delicious!!
First! I put the calendula & hibiscus into a Mason jar with the 80 proof vodka & sealed the jar. I wrapped it in my witchy towel & shook it every so often without letting the light touch it over the course of a complete full moon cycle. Once that was done, I opened the jar & strained out the petals & leaves. I filled a different container with the liquid & added 2 honey sticks. I shook it well & closed the bottle.
Happy Lammas to all.
I could not celebrate on August 1, therefore, did it on the 2nd. It was just me, so i just cooked a small piece of broiled Salmon with veggies. Ive been on a workout routine/diet for almost 3 months now, therefore counting calories. I wanted to try and bake a loaf, but decided against it. Otherwise Iād eat the whole LOAF! I bought a small piece of bread from the bakery. Said to myself only have a couple slices . That did not happen! Lolā¦ i followed the lammas ritual from Spells 8 and @francisco bread blessing. Left the four pieces on my altar and will put in my bird feeder tomorrow.
I started by having a shower. Once done i poured over my body a bath of simmered cloves, sage, chamomile, cinnamon and orange peels- meditateded on intentions. After i dried, i lit my candles on my altar and proceeded with the Lammas ritual. Ive also been spending time outside in my small garden. Iāve acquired plenty of blooming flowers this summer. However, bought many perinnals so i wont need to replant next spring. Everytime i repotted new flowers, i asked the Elementals, lady and the Lord for blessings and protectionā¦ My little oasis in the city .
Thank you all for sharing and happy Lammas to each and everyone. May new blessings always come your way.
Walter,
Your art and alter just inspires me so much! The doll has so much detail! You did so good!!! I know that the Lord and Lady will be so happy with your offering because you put so much intent! Many blessings to you this Lammas!
