The wheel of the year has turned again, and we are now in the season of the 1^st harvest. Known as Lammas to some and Lughnasadh to others, for me it is a time for celebration.

My youngest daughter was born on the 1^st of August! This week sees our family enjoying fun and parties, and then we are away for our summer holiday. But real life still goes on. We are still in a state of change and revolution.

Lammas Blessings and Hail Lugh! #365DaysofTarot

I drew out the Eight of Swords in a Tarot reading last week. The message was clear: “Free yourself! This prison or restriction is of your own making. Cut the ties that bind and allow yourself the freedom of expression. Be yourself.” The rest of the reading was about feeling invigorated and energised to finish a creative project. That sounds like Lammas energy to me! There was also a warning that I might be hiding in my work to avoid addressing personal challenges. Well, perhaps that message wasn’t for me. I can think of somebody else that it applies perfectly to at this time.
