Lughnassadh and Lammas are two names for the pagan Sabbat celebrated on August 2nd. Lughnassad is the holiday dedicated to the god Lugh, and is often celebrated with games and contests of battle skills. For this reason, the Crow Women sing Warrior Woman at this time of year, to honor women’s fierce side. Those who focus on the harvest aspect of this holiday tend to call this holiday Lammas. Our song At Lammas is about our gratitude to the Mother God and Father God for their gifts. A harvest feast has to have a food blessing, of course, and we offer our song A Pagan Grace to express gratitude for summer’s bounty.
