Anne Baird Designer/Owner TRANSITION AND TRANSFORMATION August is a month of transition and transformation. Summer turns toward fall; the first harvests are brought in. August 1st is Lammas Day ~ an ancient harvest festival, celebrating the gathering in of the wheat. On this day in medieval Europe, peasants offered the first fruits of their harvest to their overlords, and a loaf of wheat bread, called Lammas Bread, to the church. In this way, they showed their obedience and gratitude to both God in Heaven, and their masters on Earth. Many Christian churches in the west still celebrate this festival. Demeter, the Greek goddess of Grain, Abundance and Fertility, is a goddess of harvest and transformation. She is also a Fierce Mother! When her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped and taken to the Underworld by its lonely king, Hades, she refused to allow anything to grow until her child returned. Her struggle to recover Persephone, and the famine she unleashed on the world in her grief, nearly destroyed all life on Earth... *************** To read more of Demeter's story, and to order her card, click here.
