Beltane (Calan Mai) Quarter of the Year July 31st, 2011 Sun Day - the Day of Intent, Creation and Renewal ...... There are Major magickal energies for rites of Ambition and Success. Lughnasadh Rite - Lammas Eve Not only is this the festival of the first of the three harvest feasts, but it is also the feast of the Sacrifical King....... There are many things which can be symbolically 'slain' at this time: a harvest loaf, which can broken up, or a Corn King which can have stalks, or bunches of stalks, removed until he is no more. If you are working alone, a gold candle can take the place of a more complex sacrifice. As with all the Sabbats it is important to reflect balance in your Rites, so you should also make an offering wine in thanks to the Old Gods and the Land. If it is at all possible, perform your Rites outside. Start by thinking of all the things that have been given to you in the past season, and for each take a part of your sacrificial 'victim' and say "I give thanks to the Old Gods for ....... (name it), Blessed Be." If there is a group of you, take it in turns. Where you are using a candle, it may be as well to place a pin into the candle for each, so that as it burns they fall away one by one. When the victim is dismembered, or all the pins have dropped, make your offering: Hold the wine up and say, "I give thanks to the Old Gods who bring life and light, death and rest, rebirth and renewal. May they accept this offering. Blessed Be." Take a sip of the wine and the pour the rest onto the ground, remain and meditate for a short while.

Mabon Smudge Stick with Flowers (Lavender, Rosemary, Cedar) & 2 Bouquets Bundle Mabon is also known as the Autumn Equinox or Harvest Home, or the Festival of the Second Harvest. A sacred day in paganism, especially in the Wicca religion, it is celebrated on the day of the autumn equinox, which corresponds to approximately March 20 in the southern hemisphere and September 22 in the northern hemisphere. This sabbat occurs between the First Festival of Harvest (Lughnasadh) and the pagan New Year (Samhain), and marks the beginning of autumn, the pagan holy day of harvest rest and celebration, a time to thank the Gods for all that has been harvested and hunted. It is a time of balance, where day and night are of equal length. Celebrate Mabon with these smudge sticks made of lavender, cedar, rosemary and a mix of flowers. A bundle including one smudge stick and two small bouquets inspired by the main smudge is also available. If you prefer to receive a different bouquet than the one associated with your chosen smudge, please state your choice on the Personalization box.
