Lughnasadh (pronounced LOO-neh-seh), named for the God Lugh, known to us as Azazel.
Lammas day has been changed in modern days to August 1, but in ancient times it was traditionally held on the nearest Full Moon roughly halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. [Note: some people believe it to be when the Sun is at 15 degrees Leo, which will be this Aug 7]
Lammas Day marked the beginning of the harvest season, and the annular wheat harvest, and included celebrations of athletic contests, feasting, trading, and thanking the Gods, especially Lugh/Azazel, for a bountiful harvest. This was also the date to start a fall garden (veggies and herbs that grow in late summer/autumn).
Ways to honor this holiday are making loaves of bread, cakes, pies, and picking berries.
Symbols are grains, gold, grapes, berries.
Hail Satan!
Hail Azazel!
