The Art of Nature - Germany | August in German Culture and Paganism - What to learn from Lughnasadh/Lammas @theartofnaturegermany | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
August got its name from the famous Roman emperor Augustus and is the last summer month in middle Europe. On the first of August the pagan feast Lammas or Lughnasadh takes place that celebrates the first summer harvest of the grains. It is called after the Celtic god of the sun, grains and the harvest Lugh. The customs center around the happiness about having enough food for the very first time since winter and people used to bake special breads and cakes for the celebration. In German culture the blessing of the herbs ("Kräuterweihe") is an important feast on August 15. On and around this day the most important time for foraging certain wild herbs starts and it's good to gather them now for the winter. In August you can really celebrate the "harvest" or rewards of your hard work and be proud on yourself for everything you've accomplished this year already. Another spiritual task is also collecting inspirations for your creations like we collect herbs or the farmers gather their harvest goods. It's also a time for personal development and growth as we can use the energy of the summer month and the spare time, we often get in August to work on ourselves. Out in nature everything is still growing and evolving and so can we 💚
