Lammas Sabbat Kit

Celebrate Lammas, the Witch Joseph Way…with this Lammas or Lughnasadh  Sabbat Kit…Your observance can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be…this kit makes it easy for you.

The feast of Lammas, also known also known as Lughnasadh, is generally celebrated on August 1st…though some say it is when the Sun transits 15 degrees Leo…so check with an ephemeris or trusted source to find out when this occurs.

Lammas is the feast of the first Harvest when we celebrate the life of the Grain.  We give honor and thanks to Great Lugh (Lughnasadh is Gaelic for “wake of Lugh”) who lifts His shining spear to light the lives of all beings and who offers His life to us in the Grain which is the gift of our Mother the Earth.

This kit includes a handmade Lammas votive candle…to place in the cauldron or in the center to be lit at the appropriate time in the ceremony.  The Kit has a suggested declaration to be read for a simple candle lighting to honor the holy day…and there is a suggested ritual pattern/structure included that you can follow to create your own full ritual…it’s all up to you…as always, follow your inner light, your guides and your intuition…and you won’t go wrong.  Take what resonates with you and ignore the rest.

Also included are two chime altar candles in Sabbat colors…and an incense cone to utilize during the ritual.

This ritual is derived from my own practices over the years and there were many sources that influenced me and inspired my practices, including these rituals…they are: the Reclaiming tradition, Starhawk, Janet and Stewart Farrar, Raymond Buckland, Scott Cunningham and many others.

Each kit also comes with a complimentary Charm necklace with a Witch charm on it…as a thank you for supporting Witch Joseph…we appreciate you so very much.

We wish you the blessings of the Lammas season…May all your Harvests be plentiful.  Blessed Be! Xoxox

Each Kit includes: 1 Sabbat Votive Candle, 2 Altar Chime Candles in Sabbat colors, Incense Cone, Ritual Outline for an expanded Ritual and complete suggestions for a Sabbat candle lighting ceremony/ritual.  Also candle safety instructions (please exercise common sense when burning candles or incense and always follow industry guidelines for safety.) As previously mentioned, Each kit also includes a complimentary Witch charm necklace as a special thank you for supporting us at Witch Joseph.

When using your kit…you can freely adapt anything in the suggestions…also feel free to adapt them to solitary use, which is fairly easy to do.  The ritual outline is included so that you can more easily design a more complex ritual using your own elements…ie casting the circle, invocation ect.  Do what works for you.

Candle and Incense Safety:

Always burn candles and incense in appropriate Heat resistant fire proof holders that follow industry safety standards.

Burn within sight: A reminder to keep an eye on all burning candles, and extinguish a candle before leaving a room…many Witches keep a candle snuffer for this purpose.  (Some believe that blowing a sacred candle out is insulting to the salamanders…and we don’t want them upset.)

Keep away from combustibles: A cue to pay attention to your surroundings. Keep burning candles away from  furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, and other flammable objects.

 Keep away from children: Make sure your candles are placed up high and unreachable to children and pets.
