A formula of blended Herbs and Resins created this amazing incense mixture for the celebration of the Sabbat Lughnassadh / Lammas – 1st BREAD HARVEST.
A time to revere the first harvest and fruits of the season, and to prepare for the dark months ahead. Often celebrated with loaves prepared from the first wheat of the harvest. This festival has two aspects. First, it is one of the Celtic fire festivals, honoring the Celtic culture-bringer and Solar God Lugh (Lleu to the Welsh, Lugus to the Gauls). In Ireland, races and games were held in his name and that of his mother, Tailtiu (these may have been funeral games).
The second aspect is Lammas, the Saxon Feast of Bread, at which the first of the grain harvest is consumed in ritual loaves. These aspects are not too dissimilar, as the shamanic death and transformation of Lleu can be compared to that of the Barley God, known from the folksong “John Barleycorn”. This time is also sacred to the Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt, and Gods of the Hunt according to your path or tradition.
Our incense is made only of the finest organic herbs, essential oils and resins pertaining to this Sabbat then Blessed and Charged solely for this purpose. Best to burn with charcoal discs.
