Renew life, fertility, hope, thanks and praise!

Blessed Be!

Join us for celebrating First Harvest
A time of joy and giving thanks to
mother earth for her beauty and abundance!

Friends,
Lammas is a celebration of the bounty of the first harvest of all grains, fruits, and vegetables. It is one of the cross-quarter Sabbaths and is the first of the three harvest celebrations of the Pagan wheel of the year.

Throughout history, Pagan worshippers all over have celebrated their bountiful harvests on this day and offered prayers and sacrifices for the success of future crops. Today, this holiday is still celebrated by many around the world as it marks the end of summer and the welcoming of autumn.

Join us for a community pot-luck feast.

Bring bread and the various fruits of your harvest to share, in this celebration of gratitude on Saturday, August 1st
at Fairmont Park (1049 Sugarmont Dr
With Simpson as a cross street, SLC) at 4:00 p.m.

Wear your best robes in earthy oranges, browns, yellows, and gold. These colors that symbolize the harvest and the sense of renewal that comes with it.

Bring a joyous heart on this day of celebration, and see you there!! Your hostess for this gathering is Elena Gray Owl.
