What with one thing and another Lammas was a rather lamentable Lammas for me and mine and life took over for a time. My family has entered a transitional stage as my husband looks for a new job in less than favourable circumstances and my focus has been on helping him and making sure my daughter is secure during this time of change.

I maked the roughly one year aniversary of the Facebook group Pagan Parents UK but failed to translate it onto here.

Here is a quick craft idea which you might want to try next year…

Lammas Cornucopia http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/lammascrafts/ss/LammasCornucopia.htm

You’ll need:
• A grapevine cornucopia (available at craft stores)
• Wheat stalks, or other types of grain
• Sunflowers
• Other found items such as feathers, corn stalks, etc.

Fill the cornucopia with stalks of wheat and sunflowers. If you have feathers handy, or corn stalks, arrange those in there as well. Hang it on your door as a greeting for guests, or place it on your altar during Lammas ritual.
