HOW TO MANIFEST ANYTHING USING YOUR IMAGINTION

your imagination is probably your most prized possession. as all comes from within, all comes from imagination. there is not a single thing in this world that was not once imagined, that did not come from god. from the house you live in, to the clothes you wear, to the very device you are looking at this post right now. every single thing around you was onced imagined, as imagination creates reality.

you are infinite. omnipotent. divine. all knowing, all powerful, and absolutely limitless. there is nothing in this world that you cannot do, believe it or not. you can manifest whatever you want in life. wealth, health, beauty, success – absolutely ANYTHING. no desire is too big or too small for you. the same way you can manifest a cup of coffee is the same way you can win a nobel prize. nothing is out of reach. fame, riches and internal fulfilment are as achievable as finding a penny on the floor.

why?

because you are GOD.

not a god, THE GOD. as in, the all knowing, all powerful and all amazing god. your imagination or others may know as your subconscious, is infinitely more powerful than you can ever imagine. with your subconscious mind, you can do anything. there are NO limits for what you can manifest.

CIRCUMSTANCES DON’T MATTER

there is NOTHING god cannot do, for you are the image of god. there is no such thing as two gods, or an outer source. divinity does not exist. YOU ARE DIVINTY. before you came into this life, you were the almighty god. and in order to full encounter the human experience, you had to forget who you are to experience this life for the fullest. however, I AM HERE TO REMIND YOU. to remind you, OF WHO YOU ARE. and that is why all things are possible.

as god is immaculate, so are you. as god is beautiful, so are you. god is a reflection of you. so, do not question whether or not you can manifest something or not. the answer is YES. and it will ALWAYS be YES. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

to manifest whatever you want in life, you must live in the end.

you don’t need methods, crystals, rituals or to sell your unborn baby to manifest what you want. MANIFESTING IS EFFORTLESS. think as though your desire was true, as your wish has already been fulfilled. as if it has already happened. as an objective fact. if you struggle with this, think to yourself: if i had my desire RIGHT NOW, what would i be thinking? what thoughts would i have? how would i feel?

so for example, let’s say i wanted to manifest my desired appearance. i want to manifest an angel skull. if i had an angel skull right now, i would say, “i have an angel skull” NOT “why don’t i have an angel skull?”. if i ever get a thought like “why don’t i have an angel skull? i look exactly the same” contradict that thought IMMEDIATETLY, with your desired outcome. so in this case it would be “actually, i DO have an angel skull”.

when you manifest, you align yourself with the reality of your desire. and how you do that, is by going inwards. you need to understand that EVERYTHING comes from within. EVERYTHING comes from your imagination. literally 95% of your life is dictated by your subconscious mind. to change your external reality, you MUST change your internal reality. your circumstances are literally just a reflection of your subconscious mind. because that’s where everything comes from. it’s how literally EVERYTHING is created. so, it’s pretty pointless getting mad at the 3d (the outer world) for being the way it is, when literally YOU caused it to happen, by imagining it in the 4d (the inner world).

“a change of circumstance happens as a result of a change in your state of consciousness.”

– neville goddard.

STOP repeating the old story. STOP telling yourself that you are broke. STOP telling yourself that you are ugly. STOP telling yourself that you can’t achieve your dreams. STOP complaining and whining and victimizing yourself. TAKE BACK YOUR CREATIVE POWER, YOU ARE GOD!

if you constantly tell yourself how poor you are, you are implanting the seed of poverty into your mind. instead, think thoughts of riches, health, and success. your subconscious mind ALWAYS says “yes” to you. it is your slave, your puppet, a servant to obey its master’s every command, whether good or bad. your subconscious mind is NEUTRAL. it does not have thoughts, opinions, or eyes. the only information your subconscious knows about the world you live in is what you tell it. it cannot argue back at you, and cannot decipher what is true or not. it is only a reflection of you. so getting mad at it is literally ridiculous. just as you can manifest bad, you can manifest good. CHOOSE GOOD, as god is love, and WE are god.

THERE IS NOTHING GOD CANNOT DO. THERE IS NOTHING TO CHANGE BUT SELF. THE CIRCUMSATNCES OF YOUR LIFE REFLECT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. YOU CAN DO LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT IN THIS WORLD. IF YOU CAN THINK IT, YOU CAN DO IT. STOP ASKING ME WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN MANIFEST SOMETHING. THE ANSWER WILL ALWAAAYS BE YES.

let me use an analogy to help you understand. let’s say your 10 year old son comes back from playing outside, and he is filthy. he’s covered in mud and looks all messed up. your son decides to look in the mirror, and wants to become clean. the boy starts to try and clean the mirror, in hopes of getting rid of the dirt. little does he know, that the dirt on his face is just a reflection of his current state, so cleaning the mirror is illogical. that is how your subconcious mind works.

“stop trying to change the world since it is only the mirror. man’s attempt to change the world by force is as fruitless as breaking a mirror in the hope of changing his face. leave the mirror and change your face. Leave the world alone and change your conceptions of yourself.”

- neville goddard.

a lot of you guys are like, “i’m living in the end, but i’m not seeing results!” uh… DUH? you are literally affirming to yourself that you do not have your results. you are literally living in the end about the fact you don’t have your results. you actually manifest 24/7. there’s no “off” button. (people think manifesting is like, “its either i manifest good things, or i don’t manifest at all. no, that’s not how it works. you CONSTANTLY manifest, the good things AND the bad.) a lot of people don’t believe in the concept that they are god, because things don’t go their way and they manifest things that aren’t ideal them. you have to take responsibility for the fact that you manifested your circumstance. but that’s okay, because you now know your life is in your hands and you can now change it.

(now, here’s a disclaimer. i am NOT talking about trauma in the above paragraph. a lot of blogs/coaches think you manifest trauma, but i personally believe that you don’t. DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF FOR BEING ABUSED. 99% of us grow up with the assumption that life isn’t fair, life is shitty, everyone suffers and blah blah blah. we are literally instilled those limiting beliefs as children, so IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. now that we know about the law, we can now live the life our our dreams, and live in the assumption that sickness, poverty and mistreatment does NOT exist in our reality. you are literally GOD. the embodiment of love, and to embody what god has to offer we must realize that we ARE love.)

you inner conversations manifest. you CANNOT affirm “i am beautiful” for 5 minutes a day and for the rest of the day, bitch and moan about how ugly you are and expect results. the dominant assumption is the fact that you are ugly. so, your subconscious mind is going to give you evidence about your beliefs, as dominant thoughts manifest. affirm until your desired outcome is your dominant assumption. affirm, affirm, affirm, AFFIRM!

also, watch the way you talk about your perceptive of the world. think men are shitty? well, you’re going to encounter shitty men. think money is hard to get? well, good luck trying to manifest money! the way you view yourself and the world around you is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN MANIFESTING. and that is why you MUST invest in your self concept, as having a good self concept is CRUCIAL in order to become a master manifestor!

hold the assumption that NOTHING touches you. nothing phases you. you are above the law, the world, and logic itself. logic literally has no place in manifesting, so through that entire concept out the window. anything is possible through god. let me tell about neville’s mentor, abdullah.

neville’s teacher, abdullah lived in america during the 1930’s during jim crow and segregation. living as a black during that time might as well have been a death sentence. abdullah loved theatre, and wanted to watch a play, and wanted to get the best seat. however, during that time black peoples were not allowed to sit at the front of theatres.

neville goddard, a white man, suggested that he would buy abdullah that ticket for him, and suggested who shouldn’t go to the theatre to avoid discrimination.

abdullah refused, and had the assumption that nothing could ever phase him. he was immune to discrimination and could enjoy the theatre just like the white folks in the audience. and guess what? HE DID EXACTLY THAT. this is the same guy who would smoke, drink, and eat extremely unhealthy food – yet, he had the health of an olympic athlete despite being very old and made terrible lifestyle choices.abdullah held the assumption that nothing could touch him, and nothing did.

you already HAVE your desire. CLAIM IT in the 4d. live in your mind, SEE IT in your mind. don’t look for evidence that it’s working, IT WORKED. IT WORKED. IT WORKED. know that god has heard your desire. CLAIM your desire as true. ACCEPT IT AS FACT, and know that the SECOND you have claimed it, it is coming to you. right now, your cells are busting their fucking ass day and night trying to restructure your face. that money you’re trying to manifest is finding it’s way to you. that person who you love is thinking about you, and dreaming about you. you have to assume that no matter what, things ALWAYS work out for you. and no matter what happens, assume things go better than expected. your imagination is REAL. it is more realer than anything you see right in front of you. when you affirm, you are NOT lying to yourself. you are reminding yourself that you already have your desire already.

so KEEP the faith. hold on to that blind faith and assume you already have your desire! think as though it were true, and go live your life! FEEL that sense of relief that you have planted the seed, and things are working behind the scenes.

i don’t care what you see in the 3d, PERSIST in your assumption. hold onto that assumption. see something you don’t like in the 3d? AFFIRM! don’t repeat the old story. who knows? your manifestation might be right around the corner.

here’s an analogy for you: let’s say you’re watching a movie with your friend. and during the movie, you are cautious for the characters in the movie, because they are going through trials and tribulations. in order to comfort yuou, your friend reassures you that in the end, all the characters end up being fine. you must always assume everything is working out for you, and life ALWAYS goes your way.

for example, i wanted to manifest a new friend into my life. i lived in the end, and assumed i was already friends with this person. suddenly, i got into a fight with one of my friends, and we stopped being friends after our disagreement. still, i persisted in my assumption, as my 3d was now rearranging itself according to my thoughts. now, i could’ve stopped persisting, and say “this shit doesn’t work. i got the opposite of what i wanted.” but i didn’t. I KEPT THE FAITH, EVEN WHEN I DIDNT SEE EVIDENCE OF MY SENSES. the next day, my brother posted about my ex-friend on his story. this new friend, replied to his story, and we bonded over the our shared experiences with my ex-friend. from the second i started affirming, my subconscious mind put together a bridge of incidents to bring me my desire. MANIFESTATION IS INSTANT. don’t dwell upon the how or the when, just KNOW your desire is yours. you can now rest. no need to worry. no need to affirm, visualize, or do any technique. you accepted, you claimed, it’s yours.

think about it like this. when you place an order an amazon, you KNOW it’s coming to you. you don’t physically see the package deliver to you, but you know it will eventually be on your doorstep. don’t put too much effort into manifesting. just be like, “i have xyz” believe it’s already yours, and go on about your day. go live your life! go have fun with your friends. don’t put your life on hold for some manifestation. your manifestation is not above you. manifesting should be fun, easy and effortless.

not only that, but you can actually use your subconscious mind to help you in other areas of your life, besides manifesting what you want. for example, you can ask your subconscious wake you up early in the morning at a specific time, ask it for guidance or ask it to give you an idea to create a piece of art.

many artists have actually made amazing art through the use of their subconscious mind. you want a well known example? fine, let’s take it to pop music. michael jackson, also known as the king of pop, asked his subconscious to give him songs. he even said that he gets his songs from god, in multiple interviews, thus the smash hit single, billie jean.

you can also use your wonderful imagination to heal you as well. a young lady from france was once very blind, as her optic nerves were atrophied and considered useless. she visited lourdes, and claimed that the water of the shrine had healed her. it was not the water of the shrine that had healed her, but her subconscious mind. madame bire went to this shrine with great faith and expectancy that the water would heal her, and her subconscious acted according as it brought back a dead nerve to life. in the mccall magazine in 1955 issue writes: “at lourdes she regained her sight incredibly, with the optic nerves still lifeless and useless, as several doctors could testify after repeated examinations. a month later, upon re-examination, it was found that the seeing mechanism had been restored to normal. but as first, so far as medical examination can tell, she was seeing with dead eyes.” this woman healed her eyes with JUST imagination.

your subconscious mind can also save you in time of trouble. dr. lothar von blenk-schmidt, an outstanding electronics engineer, was locked up in a soviet prison camp during world war ii. he credits his survival and eventual escape to freedom to the powers of his subconscious mind: “i was a prisoner of war in a coal mine in russia, and i saw men dying all around me in that prison compound. we were watched over by brutal guards, arrogant officers, and sharp, fast-thinking commissars. after a short medical checkup, a quota of coal was assigned to each person. my quota was three hundred pounds per day. in case any man did not fill his quota, his small food ration was cut down, and in a short time he was resting in the cemetery.”

“i started concentrating on my escape. i knew that my subconscious mind would somehow find a way. my home in germany was destroyed, my family wiped out; all my friends and former associates were either killed in the war or were in gulag camps.”

“i said to my subconscious mind, “i want to go to los angeles, and you will find the way.” i had seen pictures of los angeles and i remembered some of the boulevards very well as well as some of the buildings. every day and night i would imagine i was walking down wilshire boulevard with an american girl whom i met in berlin prior to the war (she is now my wife). in my imagination we would visit the stores, ride buses, and eat in the restaurants. every night i made it a special point to drive my imaginary american automobile up and down the boulevards of los angeles. i made all this vivid and real. these pictures in my mind were as real and as natural to me as one of the trees outside the prison camp.”

“every morning the chief guard would count the prisoners as they were lined up. he would call out “one, two, three,” etc., and when seventeen was called out, which was my number in sequence, i stepped aside. in the meantime, the guard was called away for a minute or so, and on his return he started by mistake on the next man as number seventeen. when the crew returned in the evening, the number of men was the same, and i was not missed, and the discovery would take a long time. i walked out of the camp undetected and kept walking for twenty four hours, resting in a deserted town the next day. i was able to live by fishing and killing some wildlife. i found coal trains going to poland and traveled on them by night, until finally i reached poland. with the help of friends, i made my way to lucerne, switzerland. one evening at the palace hotel, lucerne, i had a talk with a man and his wife from the united states of america. this man asked me if i would care to be a guest at his home in santa monica, california. i accepted, and when i arrived in los angeles, i found that their chauffeur drove me along wilshire boulevard and many other boulevards which i had imagined so vividly in the long months in the russian coal mines.”

“i recognized the buildings which i had seen in my mind so often. it actually seemed as if i had been in los angeles before. i had reached my goal. i will never cease to marvel at the wonders of the subconscious mind. truly, it has ways we know not of.”

fucking amazing, isn’t it?

like i’ve said a million times before, ANYTHING is possible.

USING SLEEP TO MANIFEST

sleep is very important. you must get at least 8 hours of sleep. lack of sleep can cause irritation, depression and mental disorders. you need to sleep. your subconscious mind works 24/7. it is always active, and never rests. you can actually use sleep to benefit you.

never, ever, EVER go to sleep in a bad state. always go to bed with the attitude of your wish has been fulfilled. before you go to bed, i want you to get into a drowsy, sleepy, state. not too tired, and not to awake. just right. then, i want you to visualize a scene implying your desire, make this scene short and vivid as you can and really FEEL IT. the scene can be the desired being fulfilled itself, or maybe you telling your friend your desire has already happened. if you can’t visualize, you can affirm by repeating a phrase that implies your desire until you fall asleep. this technique is SO effective because in this state, your subconscious mind is must vulnerable. do this night after night.

for example, jospeh murphy, the author of power of your subconscious mind (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK) was once given a task to be completed in the orient, before world war 2.

before jospeh went asleep, he repeated to himself, “infinite intelligence within me knows all things, and the right decision is revealed to me in divine order. i will recognise the answer when it comes.” after repeating that to himself to sleep, joseph murphy had a dream. one of his old friends appeared in the dream and said, “read the headlines - do not go!” in the consequence of this dream, jospeh murphy cancelled his trip. one day, joseph murphy saw the EXACT same headline that he saw in his dream, which was the tragedy of pearl harbour.

i told y’all when i said you are literally all-knowing. joseph avoided literal death by using his subconscious mind. your subconscious mind has ALL the answers.

Outro

that’s it, folks! you can manifest ANYTHING. please, don’t ask me how to manifest xyz. just LIVE IN THE END. all you need to do is accept that you already have your desire!

SUMMARY

you are god

you can manifest ANYTHING

circumstances don’t matter

think FROM your desire, not OF your desire

your inner conversations manifest

have faith in your imaginal act

manifestation is instant

use sleep to manifest

alovher2

realizing i underestimated how important self concept is to manifesting. the way you talk to yourself largely impacts how you view yourself and how you view your reality. if you don’t think you’re good enough, powerful enough, strong enough, pretty enough, etc etc to have what you want…… how will you manifest it?

!!!PLEASE READ AND SHARE THIS!!!

I absolutely hate having to create this post, but the Netherlands has a new political party that wants to legalize the possession of child p*rnography, s*xual intercourse with TODDLERS AND CHILDREN, bestiality and necrophilia (s*x with corpses). In the Netherlands this political party, that has ALREADY tried to gain power years ago, is known as the pedo-party and people are understandably outraged about the fact that the PNVD, as they call themselves, has been RECOGNIZED as a political party in their country.

Please read this translation of the attached screenshot of their goals:

People of all ages, including children, have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. This includes s*xual self-determination. Everyone can consent to engage in s*xual contacts. The PNVD wants no age restrictions in the law, but punishability of s*x with someone of whom one knows, or should have known, that he did not agree or (for example due to incompetence) could consent to it.

The discriminatory morality law should be replaced by a general law against s*xual violence. One must always be able to say “no” without consequences, even in dependency relationships. Prejudiced parents (and social workers) should not harm their children by making them feel guilty.

S*xual contacts in public, such as in nature reserves, are allowed. If the nuisance becomes too great, action can be taken. Anyone who can agree to this must be allowed to pr*stitute themselves. Anyone may choose to participate in p*rnography production. The PNVD is against censorship. P*rnography may be broadcast during the day. Private ownership of all forms of p*rnography, including child p*rnography, is permitted.

S*xual contacts with animals are becoming legal again. S*xual abuse of animals remains a criminal offense. Legalization of n*crophilia if the deceased have explicitly given written permission for this. Furthermore, anyone who can agree to this must be allowed to choose to participate in risky or harmful s*xual contacts.

The founder of this party, a p*dophile named Nelson Maatman has openly said in a televised interview that young children can consent to s*x. He said, and I QUOTE: “A child aged two or three may say that they want an ice cream or go to the playground. This is the same. It’s time they were stopped being considered second-class citizens.” (x) Now read that disgusting statement again and replace ‘anyone’ with a toddler, because that’s who this disgusting monster meant.

If you’re even the slightest bit disgusted and want to help the dutch fight this, please sign this petition to dismantle the PNVD AND reblog as much as you can. P*dophiles should not be politicians, and children. cannot. consent.

(Let me know if you need any help translating anything to sign the petition.)

🍁september guidance for the signs🍁

use your sun, moon, & rising.

🍂aries – the cycle karma is coming full circle for you and good things are coming your way, as long as you open up your heart and let them in. remember that you have earned this and allow yourself to be proud of the work you have done. opportunities are coming, so let your problems be replaced by solutions and learn the lessons you need to from past mistakes in order to understand, let go, and gain the wisdom you need move forward with these new opportunities. with a confident mindset, nothing is impossible for you this month, so remember to believe in yourself so the universe can reward you with what you deserve!

🍂taurus – there may be some difficult challenges or losses for you this month, specifically related to something material. remember that above being a physical being, you are also an incredible spiritual being. use these challenges to gain insight into the lessons that you need to learn this month and remember that you have all the strength you need to get through this. ultimately, these changes are happening so you can transform for the better. there is a lesson in everything, so ask yourself what you learned from this experience and how you can avoid a similar experience in the future. you decide how long it takes for you to learn this lesson.

🍂gemini – a big shift is coming for you this month. it may appear negative on the surface, but it will ultimately lead you to a better and healthier lifestyle in some aspect of your life. the foundations breaking down are to give you the opportunity to rebuild with a more stable and solid structure that will improve your life forever. you can choose to ignore your problems, but in the end, life will force you to deal with them. so, you can choose to do it on your own if you see where the problem is or let life force you into changing. overall, this is an opportunity for growth and in the future you will look back at this moment and be incredibly thankful because it put you on much better path than you are on now.

🍂cancer – look around your life and release what is no longer serving you. sometimes you need to make a sacrifice in order to move yourself closer to the highest version of yourself. by letting go, you allow room for new and better things to enter your life, so it is very important to let go of the things that are holding you back. whatever situation happens this month, you will have no control over, and surrendering that control will bring you gratitude and enlightenment. surrendering control also allows you to have an “outside look” at whatever is happening which will bring a new perspective on the situation. during this transitional period, you need to live into your answers, accept what you can not control, and leave the past behind while walking into the future.

🍂leo – you are going to be rewarded for a job well done but remember that the ultimate success is knowing that what you have achieved was done for yourself. celebrate and honour the work that you have done! this month do not forget that even though you have experienced this success, life keeps moving forward, so do not be too proud to accept help from the people around you when you need it. use this achievement to lay a solid foundation for the opportunities that will be coming forward in your life. also, remember to take proper care of your body!

🍂virgo – using your crafts, skills, and talents will move you forward to better and happier things this month. your creative efforts will bring you prosperity and abundance as long as you can stay focused on what you want. build on your passions and allow yourself to move forward to the highest version of yourself through whatever your passion is. be open to the opportunities that are manifesting in your life and pay attention to messages and synchronicities because they will give you a clue towards where these opportunities are opening up. you are going to be making a lot of positive movement forward, and honestly, who would except any less from a virgo during their own season?

🍂libra – try not to let the issues in your life become bigger than they actually are. the mind is a powerful thing, and when you let it run free it is bound to overhype the negative while ignoring the positive. this month is a time of completion for you, so you must let go of negative and limiting beliefs. when you let go of worry, positive things are able to manifest in your mind and therefore your life. take action towards letting go of whatever it is that is keeping you in a lower vibration, work on healing, and trust that the universe will reward your healing process. you do not need to do this alone, there is help available for you as long as you are willing to look for it.

🍂scorpio – there is a need for patience and balance in multiple aspects of your life this month. adjustments around self-control and moderation need to be made, as they affect all parts of your being. you must integrate your physical and spiritual self so that you can feel whole again instead of missing out on the human experience and what it truly has to offer. why deny yourself and accept a life that is half-lived? open your heart and mind and be open to new perspectives, this will make you more aware to the miracles around you, including the ones you have created yourself.

🍂sagittarius – this month you are going to be experiencing a deep emotional bond with a person, project, or situation. take this time to recognize that all relationships are actually about you and how you interact with different people and experiences in your life. are you giving energy or taking it away? is there an even exchange of energy flow going on? do what you can to find an equal balance and remember to protect your own energy because it is sacred. relationships are mirrors of ourselves, they show what we do and do not like about ourselves, which can be hard to acknowledge, but necessary in order to grow and ascend into a higher being.

🍂capricorn – you have been working on building a solid foundation for yourself, and this month you must continue to do that. use the lessons you have learned from the past to build a secure future for yourself. try to remember not to let your current position define who you are. you are constantly growing, learning, and changing for the better. give back to those who have supported you in whatever way you can and remember that spiritual wealth is just as valuable as material wealth. do not hold on too tightly to your worldly possessions, allow things to flow and trust that the foundations you are building for yourself are rock solid and that you can withstand anything.

🍂aquarius – this month will be a chill time where you feel like most of your problems just seem to disappear. you will be experiencing abundance in some form and may also be experiencing success with a goal that you have had for some time. acknowledge that harmony between your physical and spiritual self is showing you that equal give and take will bring true wealth into your life. remember to be grateful, compassionate, and give back where you can so that you can continue to experience the abundance you are experiencing now.

🍂pisces – this month will bring an ending of some sort, so try not to resist it. it could happen abruptly, so remember that you have the strength to get through this and know that as one cycle ends, a new and better one begins. you must allow the death of some old way of thinking so you can move forward on your path. nothing stays the same, accept the changes that are happening and allow the opportunities you could have never imagined to enter into your life. do not live in the past, it is time to move on. tie up any loose ends so you can carry on with your new beginning.

I’ve been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it. He meant you’re gold when you’re a kid. Like green. When you’re a kid everything’s new. Dawn. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That’s gold. Keep it that way, it’s a good way to be. I want you to ask Dally to look at one, I don’t think he’s ever seen a sunset. There’s still lots of good in the world.

The Witch at Lammas

This post is the fifth in a series of posts exploring and celebrating witch archetypes at the eight seasonal festivals.

Lammas is a festival celebrated on August 1. It is descended from the festival of Lughnasadh, an ancient Celtic festival of Pagan origin. Still celebrated by many Neo-Pagans, Lughnasadh is one of the four “fire festivals.” It is the celebration of the first fruits of summer and it has long had connections to both the grain and hay harvests. It is named after the ancient Celtic sky god, Lugh. The “-nasadh” of Lughnasadh means something like “an assembly”, so the phrase “Lughnasadh” can be taken to mean “the assembly of Lugh” (sometimes translated as “the games of Lugh”).

Lughnasadh is traditionally associated with summer fairs. In ancient times, the “assembly” would have been a great fair, with food and games and opportunities for trading and other financial exploits. This tradition has never died out. It is still common to see fairs throughout the British Isles and even the United States and Canada during this time. Traditionally, Lughnasadh would have lasted two weeks.

With the Christianization of Europe, Lughnasadh became Lammas, its new name meaning “Loaf Mass”. Lammas celebrates the grain harvest, which is honored by making loaves of bread from the freshly gathered wheat. These loaves of bread were blessed by priests during Lammas services. These blessed loaves could then be used for folk magic. Superstitious farmers would break the loaves into quarters and hide them in the corners of their houses or barns for protection.

One theme that is prevalent throughout these celebrations is that of sacrifice. The tale of Lughnasadh is one of tragic death. According to an old Irish legend, the goddess Tailtiu, the foster mother of Lugh, cleared the great forest of Breg with an axe to make the plains of Ireland. These plains became fertile farmland. She wanted to provide for her people. However, the work proved to be too great and when she finished clearing the forest, she died. In her honor, Lugh established a festival of funeral games, which would become Lughnasadh. The Paleo-Pagans who inhabited what is now Britain and Ireland would have honored this festival by lighting great bonfires and giving sacrifical offerings to the gods.

Lugh is associated with the sky, but he is also a god of sovereignity and battle. It was he who slayed the giant Balor and threw his eye into the heavens to create the Sun. Even in his sky “aspect”, he is still a god of skill and war. Ancient depictions of Lugh typically show him wearing a torc and holding a spear. The torc is a symbol of sovereignty - he is a god of kings and rulers - and he holds the spear - a tool of war. He is a god of skill; his wars are not the foolish all-destructive wars of modernity, but are the skilled battles of old. He is truly a god of warriors.

The grain of Lammas is a symbol of sacrifice. Consider the drinking song “John Barleycorn”, which personifies the grain as a man who is murdered and cut to pieces. The grain and all the other first fruits of the harvest season fall at Lammas. The year is in decline. According to legend, in ancient Ireland, an old or senile king , no longer useful as a ruler, would be sacrificed at Lughnasadh. Whether this is a historical truth is a matter of some debate, but this theme still maintains its power.

The Christianization of the festival links it with Christ’s suffering on the cross and also his associations with bread and grain. According to the Bible, it was he who died to cleanse mankind of its sins. He is often called a sacrifical lamb. It was prophesied that he would be born in Bethlehem - the House of Bread. It was he who made the fishes and loaves multiply. It was he who said to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and what is his flesh but bread transfigured?

Because sacrifice is a predominant theme in the Lughnasadh/Lammas holidays, let us discuss the witch as warrior. Despite some claims that witches cannot and should not do harm to others, the historical records say otherwise. There are multiple, notable accounts of witches using their craft to defend their homes and loved ones.

We could discuss warding, but that topic is oft-discussed I do not see a need to go more in-depth about it here. Let us discuss, instead, three specific historical examples of practitioners using the magical arts to protect themselves and others.

In this short space, it would be impossible to describe all the accomplishments of Welsh mathematician, astrologer, and occultist John Dee. A Renaissance man in every meaning of the word, Dee was the court magician for Queen Elizabeth I. It was Dee who helped plan expeditions to the New World. It was Dee himself who coined the term “British Empire”. So, when Phillip II of Spain attempted to invade England in 1588, it was said that John Dee took action. According to legend, Dee used his occult knowledge to cast a spell on the Spanish Armada. Of course, the Spanish Armada was scattered by great winds and did not invade England.

Less than 400 years later, it is said the witches of England helped to drive away the invading Nazi forces during the Second World War. According to Gerald Gardner, a great gathering of witches occurred in the New Forest on the eve of the Nazi invasion. These witches came from all over Britain to cast a spell on the Third Reich. The witches commanded the Nazi planes to not invade and many died in the process, or so the legend goes. Like the Spanish Armada, the Nazis did not invade Britain. Despite the raids, England never fell to the German forces. One does hope that the current generation of witches will follow their lead and use magic to strike back against tyranny.

In the 1960s, Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg published his work The Night Battles: Witchcraft and Agrarian Cults in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries. In this highly influential work, Ginzburg examines reports of the Benandanti, a group of magical practitioners who lived in Northeastern Italy in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The phrase Benandanti means “the good walkers.” By their own reports, the Benandanti rose (“walked”) from their own bodies while they were sleeping and fought off dark forces. These dark forces were witches, called the Maladanti (“the bad walkers”).

According to the Benandanti, who testified before the Inquisition, they fought the witches at night with fennel sticks. They did this on certain Thursdays to protect their crops. The nighttime visions of the Benandanti have been tied to the Sabbat-visions of witches throughout Europe during the same time period. The testimonies of the Benandanti led Ginzburg to conclude that they were members of a sort of “fertility cult”. Ginzburg’s work was considered controversial upon its first publication and continues to spark debate.

This Lammas, let us remember what it is to defend those we love. You does not need to be a solider to fight for the things you care about. You can be a scholar, a dreamer, a mystic - you can be an ordinary person and affect great change. With a bit of magic and a sense of determination, you can fight for what you believe in and win.
