Lughnasadh and his Spiritual Meaning

Dear All,

It’s time to collect and keep in mind the coming Fall and Winter. It’s time to start stocking up on the things we need mentally and physically to get us through the dark months. The energy that began to rise from the earth at Imbolc is now beginning its return journey. It is now the time to reflect on what we have symbolically sown during the spring (Ostara) and let it go again. In letting go, space is created for a new phase in which we can harvest the fruits (knowledge/experience) of what we have sown.

Lughnasadh is a time to reflect on abundance. Abundance in the broadest sense of the word. So everything we harvest from the land or from the greenhouses and find in the supermarkets and restaurants and our own refrigerators and pantries. But also what has been processed and that we find in the form of furniture, for example, in shops and our homes. In addition, you can also reflect on your own harvest this year and celebrate it.

As in Nature the entire process of sowing, growing, ripening and harvesting is followed, so is it with you. And here we find the spiritual meaning of Lughnasadh. Through your plans and your commitment you can also harvest successes and results. At the beginning of this year you may have had certain wishes or goals in mind.

How has the year gone?
Are you still on the right path for you?
Or do you always have to adjust your goals?
What are your blockages or obstacles to achieving your successes and results?

In short, what has been your growth process in the past year and do you still have a clear destination in mind?

Pause for a moment and focus your energy and enthusiasm on what you (still) want to achieve this year.

A nice ritual to do is the following:

Grab a piece of paper, a pen or pencil and make a (safe) fire. Take a moment to think about what has happened to you since Ostara and what has or has not changed. Write down in a few short words what is important to you on a piece of paper. You roll up this piece of paper into a tube and meditate for a few minutes on what you have written down. Then you blow your intention into this tube with a big breath and put this tube in the fire. The fire represents transformation and helps you to validate what you have written down.

May you all have an abundant and warm Lughnasadh!

With love,

Deep within In Mother Earth Nature is awakening an all is being prepared for the active part of the Year.
