Attended the beautiful Lammas ritual today in Pennsylvania, led by one of the @avalongrove members at his residence. Attendees were not comfortable with photo/video coverage, so here is a picture of me and my rye doll that got blessed in the ritual and now will watch over my house over the dark part of the wheel.
Remember the story about Vasilissa the Wise? Baba Yaga gave her the doll to help her through the tasks she had to accomplish. But the doll was just a metaphor for one’s inner voice and intuition that gives you guidance in puzzling times when logic is useless. 🪆
Blessed Lammas!

My rye doll from the rey in my urban garden. Although, I only grow enough for the rituals, not enough even for one loaf of bread, but it’s still the harvest. The symbology of the first crop. Usually, charged in the rituals and either kept as the protection for the darkening days or burned as the offering for the Gods.
