Loving the Harvest and Harvesting Love
The Celtic festival of Lammas falls around the end of July/beginning of August in the Northern Hemisphere and the end of January/beginning of February in the Southern Hemisphere.
Although it is high summer, autumn is visible on the horizon. The sun is gradually waning and losing its power: the days are getting shorter, and each morning the sun gets up a little later and goes to bed a little earlier. The energy of the earth is moving from fire to water, yang to yin, outer to inner, sun to moon, and if we can flow with this change of energy and gradually shift from outward pursuits to a more inward focus of contemplation, then it can be a wonderful way of keeping our life in balance.
