Bonus: Celebrating Lammas

from Cradles & Candles

Episode Description ✨ Bonus Episode ✨ This wasn't a planned episode, but as Lammas (Lughnasadh) arrived, I felt called to sit down, hit record, and share a little piece of my celebration with you. In this impromptu bonus episode of Cradles & Candles, I'm reflecting on the meaning of the first harvest, why this Sabbat has been especially meaningful to me this year, and the simple ways my family and I are celebrating—from making sourdough pancakes with my very first starter to visiting a local Peach Festival, cleansing our home, and spending time in quiet ritual and gratitude. More than anything, this episode is an invitation to slow down and recognize the harvests in our own lives—the growth, resilience, and small moments of magic that often go unnoticed. Whether you're celebrating Lammas yourself or simply looking for a moment of seasonal reflection, I hope this conversation feels like sitting down with a cup of coffee (or tea) and celebrating the changing seasons together. Thank you for joining me for this little bonus episode. Regular episodes will be returning soon, but until then... Blessed Lammas, and Blessed Be. 🌾🕯️
