Happy Lammas Day to all Zevists here!
This holiday is not traditionally aligned with the Sun, it is a cultural calendar-date holiday, celebrated on August 1.
From our Zevist Calendar:
"Lammas Day, or Lughnasadh (pronounced LOO-neh-seh), named for the God Lugh, known to us as Azazel. Lammas Day marked the beginning of the harvest season, and the annular wheat harvest, and included celebrations of athletic contests, feasting, trading, and thanking the Gods, especially Lugh/Azazel, for a bountiful harvest. This was also the date to start an early garden (veggies and herbs that grow in early spring). Ways to honor this holiday are making loaves of bread, cakes, pies, and picking berries. Symbols are grains, gold, grapes, berries."
As with all Zevist holidays, meditation and communication with our Gods will be heightened. Any magick performed will be more powerful. As the Moon is waning, it isn't the best time to begin a new working, but if you have any workings on the go, you can concentrate on it more strongly to give it a boost. Spend extra time visualizing the outcome of your intended goal.
As Moon is in Cancer, you can some spend time meditating on or researching how your ancestors or even recent family line celebrated their harvest season.
Even though this holiday is in honor of Azazel, we have a God ritual schedule ongoing, so prioritize the schedule. If you have extra time and energy you can do Azazel's ritual, especially if He is your Guardian, but otherwise, stick with the schedule.
Have a lovely day, everyone :)
