(Some) Ways to celebrate Lughnasadh 🍂✨🌳🍄
🍂 spend some time outdoors while the weather still permits!! we’re officially at the beginning of the harvest season and nature has so much to offer this time of year. take note of all the small changes beginning to happen while we’re slowly transitioning into autumn!!
🍂 decorate your altar!! fall/warm colors such as reds, yellows, oranges, browns and even greens are fantastic to incorporate. and, things such as various plants, candles, fake/real leaves, corn dolls, etc. being the spirit of autumn into your altar!! i love to incorporate some green transitioning into more earthy colors to represent the changing seasons.
🍂 FOOD!! oh, the most glorious part of the sabbats haha. things such as bread, soups, muffins, roasted meats if your diet permits, etc are all fantastic to cook up! incorporating things like pumpkin, cinnamon, nuts and berries, etc are some of my personal abso little favorite ways to feel closer to autumn.
🍂 like i recommend for every sabbat, do some CLEANING!! reorganize your space, cleanse it with sage or incense. we’re transitioning into a new time of the year and now is the perfect opportunity to switch things up and berid of any unwanted energy around your space.
🍂 tend to any of your crops/plants!! this is the beginning of the harvest, darker and colder days are ahead of us while the hustle and bustle of gardening is slowly becoming behind us. now is the time to take some extra care of your gardens to prepare for the harvest of mabon!
🍂 honor the sun!! in whatever way you see fit. the darker months are approaching and it’s so important to appreciate the brightness while it’s still around. light some candles and say a prayer, perform a sun ritual, bask in the daylight. take the opportunity now while it’s still here!
🍂 create a gratitude list. as the darker months approach i find it difficult to adjust. creating a list of things that i’m thankful for, or things that mean a lot to me, truly help me to ground myself and make the transition much easier. i plan on writing them down on small pieces of paper and leaving them on my altar!
🍂 spice up any of your current tools if you find the need!! i find this the perfect time to do so, as we’re at such a transitional part of the year. whether you have tools you’d like to jazz up, or you’re looking into creating/buying your own, this sabbat is a fabulous time to do so!!
🍂 work on your book of shadows/grimoire!! i’m finally starting back up on mine again this lughnasadh and i’m just so excited! i find sabbats one of the absolute best times to learn about my craft because i truly feel at my peak on these days.
🍂 spread the love!! whether it be through text messages to friends and family or creating some baked goods to share, you don’t have to out yourself in any manor! just some kind gestures to spread some light to those around you. im personally baking some pumpkin muffins and will be blessing them + sharing them.
🍂 celebrate with colors!! this is a fabulous way for those of you in the broom closet to have some fun. warm and earthy tones are incredibly welcome, browns and golds, reds and oranges. painting your nails, wearing some makeup or even dressing up in these colors is such a lovely way to honor this sabbat.
🍂 treat yourself!! this holiday is about celebrating the hard work that has come with this past harvest. incorporate some self care into this day by preforming acts that make you happy.
🍂 create a list of your accomplishments of the year and a list of your goals for the future!! i adore doing this, especially around this time of year, just to get a grasp on where i am in my craft.
that’s all i have for today lovelies!! i sincerely hope you all have a blessed lughnasadh 🍂✨🌳🍄
