Theme “Harvest”
Chalice lighting for Harvest
We reap the fields and orchards
We gather in the wheat.
The gleaners at the margins
Look for our gifts.
Share the bounty of the land:
Open heart and open hand.
As we light our chalice flame
So we laud the holy name
of love.
Chalice lighting for Lammas / Lughnasadh
The corn is gathered,
The last sheaf bound,
The harvest gathered in.
Life is given that life may continue.
Let the games begin.
Let it be a dance we do.
As each sheaf is safely gathered in
Let’s illuminate the chalice flame
As we dance the harvest in.
Mabon journey
A light moving to the dark
This thankfulness in a harvest held
Yet a restlessness
May your Mabon journey balance.
Your harvest gratitude is welcome
Give blessings away to a food bank or a passing stranger
Give away on your Mabon journey.
Pick some food
Count your blessings
On your knees in humility and love
Lammas, Lughnasadh
Here’s a harvest hope
That this thankful thing
For food and Earth and life;
Becomes a gratitude thing
Not for now, or for us
But for everybody and everything.
May Lammas Blessings be the wish
May Lughnasadh be truly fresh
In gratitude for what we are given
And attitude of what we can give
Of loving
