Summer is at its height of power when August rolls in, bringing with it the first of the harvest festivals, Lughnasadh [or Lammas], on the first of the month.

Lughnasadh is a festival of strength and abundance, a reflection of August itself. Lugh and the Corn God are highly celebrated during this month and are particularly good to work with in spells or rituals for abundance, prosperity, agriculture, marriage, or strength.

The Earth Mother in her many forms is ripening and overflowing with abundance. While we often see the first harvest as being associated with corn, there is much more that has been harvested by this point.

We must remember not to overlook anything or take anything for granted in our lives, and the harvest is an excellent reminder of that. It is a time to begin focusing on expressing appreciation and giving thanks for all that we have.

Always keep mint on your windowsill in August, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. Don't think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. Never presume August is a safe or reliable time of the year.

August's Blue Super Moon

Something to consider before the full moon.

The blue moon super moon is considered a powerful time to set intentions, release negative energy, and manifest abundance. The full moon holds great significance, symbolizing change, transformation, and new beginnings. It is like a magical mirror and it reflects the dreams we have in our hearts. In astrology, the August blue full moon super moon is said to bring about a heightened sense of awareness and intuition. It is a time of increased emotional energy, making it an ideal time for healing, meditation, and spiritual practices. The Blue Moon offers clarity and insight into what is blocking us from our goals. This period allows for deep spiritual growth, healing, and transformation

⛧Vigil Fire

𓉻

While the summer nights are still warm, it's a good time for vigil fires, which have long been held for ceremonial purposes. Begin with planning.

What is the purpose of your vigil fire? Where will you have the fire? Will you hold vigil for an hour or two or an entire night? Or something else? Will you stay awake or sleep by the fire? What will you do during the vigil?

Consider your comfort : warmth, food, drink, and a light source. Consider fire safety, and be sure someone knows where you are and when you'll return. Build the fire in a safe location. A log cabin-style fire with wood that can be pushed in from the sides will last for hours.

Hold your vigil at fireside, periodically repeating this chant :

Sitting with the vigil fire,

watching embers through the night.

Powers of vigil,

shine in me like firelight.

Daily Spells: August 4th

Hazelwood Charm to Protect Against Accidents

You’ll Need:

Two hazel twigs of similar size

Yellow thread

The magical folklore of the Hazel tree is found in a number of cultures. Branches are often used to make wands and staffs, and the nuts can be used in love magic, divination, and rituals related to wisdom. Hazel is also associated with protection, and you can make a simple charm to carry with you to keep you safe from accidents.

Cross the twigs to form an X, and use the yellow thread to wrap them together, back, and forth, where they cross. As you do, say “Magic of the hazel tree, wrapped up in this charm, keep me safe from injury, keep me safe from harm.”

Carry the twigs with you in your purse, hang them on your rearview mirror, or even attach them to your bike for extra safety.

Prayer for protection that I will be incorporating into a travel charm soon.

Most Holy Dea, Our Mother, grant me and my family protection as we travel to and from our destinations these next few days. Steer true the wheels of Earth, lift high the wings of Air, still the great northern Waters and bless the machines that run them or sail over them with functionality and smoothness of operation, that we may enjoy our travels and bear witness to your greatness in nature. Cast away all evil intentions, incompetence, and negative energies and grant us beautiful, positive memories to cherish for a lifetime.

In your Holy Daughter’s name I pray

Amen.

Smells Like Familiar Spirit(s)

Don’t worry, Liber Coven is still very queer, but we’re moving on to a new theme for July and August: haunted. With topics ranging from everyday ghost stories to spirit keeping, we landed on something a bit more active than sitting around the campfire.

In July and August, we are reading Spirit Conjuring for Witches: Magical Evocation Simplfied by Frater Barrabbas.

“The greatest Witches of folklore practiced their craft by conjuring spiirts and employing a familiar spirit.”

If spirits and working with them intrigue you, this might be your new summer adventure (ghosts and batteries not included).
