| Recently, when planting seeds for gardening, it was a wonderful experience. Even for those who may not for whatever reason be able to give birth to children. They still give birth to creativity, for this is a part of ones self and that's a wonderful sensation. So for both female and male is the power of Creation...guided by Wisdom. |

| August 4, 1999 | Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, she's waning. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing, and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone, Grandmother, as she does not need light to see into the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see. The question is "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate," and many others according to culture. | ||
| August 11, 1999 | New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate," and many others according to culture. | ||
| August 18, 1999 | Waxing Moon Our Lady will be in her second phase, she's waxing. She is building energy and focusing it for whatever needs arise. Her name at this time is "Diana," and many others according to culture. | ||
| August 26, 1999 | Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene," and many others according to culture. | ||

Lughnasadh, Lammas, Lughnasad |
|
This will be the first
harvest of the Wheel of the Year. The first gleanings of
sustenance for the dark half of the Wheel, of which the Oak
King slowly begins to give way to the Holly King until "Yule". Now is
the time when we begin to take stock of what we have sown.
There are many cultures that have a connection with this holiday,
some are Celtic, Norse, Scandinavian..... to name a few. |
| Happy Lammas! |
|
|
Love and Light, Good Journeys to the Lady and the Lord.
Blessed Be!!! |

At this Family Lughnasadh
gathering the Waxing Moon will be in Virgo: |
| Here is the Moon at her most discriminating. Wearing an efficient, tailored outfit that is especially designed for work, she is ready to take care of whatever needs it - no matter its needs. This is the most detail oriented sign out there, the sign most concerned with fixing, fussing, and tending to. This moon sign puts us in the mood to clean, scout, sort, trouble-shoot, and help. Virgo is the most helpful of all the signs, ready to take up broom, mop, or gardening tool and offer her assistance. Now is when we are more health-conscious, work-oriented, and duty-bound, too, so this is a great period to pay attention to our diet, our hygiene, and our daily schedules. |
