Lammas , also known as Lughnasadh (pronounced "LOO-nah-sah"), is one of the eight festivals in the Wheel of the Year, celebrated on August 1st in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the first of the three traditional harvest festivals , followed by Mabon (Autumn Equinox) and Samhain. Rooted in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon traditions, Lammas is a time of gratitude, reflection, and sacred offering, deeply connected to the cycles of nature and the rhythms of the Earth. This festival celebrates the beginning of the harvest season , particularly the grain harvest. It is a time when the first fruits of the Earth are gathered and honored, symbolizing both physical sustenance and spiritual abundance. Origin and Cultural Roots The name Lammas comes from the Old English “hlaf-mas,” meaning “loaf mass,” a Christianized version of an older pagan tradition. People would bake bread from the first grains harvested and bring it to church or offer it in ritual as a symbol of gratitude for the boun...

The Sturgeon Moon is the traditional name for the full moon that occurs in the month of August. This name originates from Native American, particularly Algonquin, traditions, as well as from Colonial American naming practices. It reflects a time of year when sturgeon—large, ancient fish found in North American lakes and rivers—were most abundantly caught. These fish were an important food source and held symbolic significance for the communities that relied on them. The Sturgeon Moon marks a time of deep connection with the natural world, abundance, endurance, and ancestral wisdom. It arises during late summer, a season of harvest, reflection, and preparation for transition as the days begin to subtly shorten. Spiritually, this moon holds a powerful energy of sustenance and strength—reminding us of the resilience required to navigate the cycles of life. The spiritual meanings of the Sturgeon Moon are rich and multifaceted: Abundance and Gratitude : Like the plentiful sturgeon once ...

 How to See Auras See an aura around a person takes practice. Be patient, and with practice you will pick up this ability. Sit quietly, facing someone else a few feet away from you and sitting at the same level as you. Make sure the room is quiet and calm and free from interruption. Be sitting comfortably, with the temperature of the room being right for you, so that you can relax and focus. Focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly for a few moments. Now stare at the person opposite you. Stare at their central chest area. Do not focus on them. Focus  through  them. Let your eyesight relax through them. Allow your peripheral vision to permeate into your field of vision. You will start to see colour around the person in front of you. It may be thin to start with, but as your clairvoyant ability increases, the colour may become thicker, brighter or more vivid.

 Angel Numbers Identical Numbers A sequence of three or more identical numbers shown to you unexpectedly is a way for angels to get you to stop and pay attention. They are trying to tell you something. You need to ponder what is on your mind at that time. Pay attention to it. The answer is within you. The angels are using the identical sequence to guide you.  Unique Numbers As an individual, you will also have a unique number that angels will use to connect with you, to make you aware of something. You may not know your unique number, but the angels will have presented it to you in the past, and they will do again. It is for you to notice and become aware of. It will be a random three digit number that keeps popping up unexpectedly in your life. There will be other numbers, of not necessarily just three digits, that will only hold a relevance to you personally when you see them because you can refer them to something specific in your life. For example, maybe you keep seeing th...

The eight phases of the moon form a complete lunar cycle lasting approximately 29.5 days. Each phase carries distinct energetic qualities that are deeply influential in magickal practice, spiritual work, and intention-setting. Below is a detailed explanation of each phase and how to work with its unique energies: Dark Moon The dark moon is a lesser-known yet deeply significant phase of the lunar cycle. It refers to the final stage of the waning moon, just before the new moon occurs. It only last for 1-3 days, and is therefore generally linked to the New Moon in phase 1 of the Lunar Cycle. However, it is in fact distinct, and this book shall cover it in more detail later. 1. New Moon (Dark Moon) The new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle. The moon is not visible in the sky, symbolizing stillness, inward reflection, and rebirth.
