Thursday, 18 August 2016 is the correct date for celebrating Lammas this year. For simplicity it is always celebrated on the 1st of August, but for those who want to get it right the date is 18 August - make your wish list on a red paper. Lammas is a good time to learn the art of cooking. Celebrate abundance, reaping the harvest and generosity. Lammas is a time to give thanks for all the blessings you have already received. Place cookies; fruit and red and yellow flowers in your kitchen. Burn three candles (red. yellow and gold) on your stove for Brigid the Fire Goddess who overseas cooking. Make a wish list and ask the universe to make it manifest in a way that you have no doubt that it comes from a higher power. Lammas or Lughnasadh is a time to bless bread and fruit and in so doing we bless our future prosperity. This is also a good time to honor and display arts, crafts and cats.

Colors: Red and Gold - for strength, courage, royalty and wealth.
International Cat Day: 8 August.
In Egypt she is Bastet.
In India she is Durga.
As a superstar she is Cat-woman.
At Home - Cat
In Japan - Maneki Niko.
The prophet Mohammed said if you feed a stray cat you will surely go to heaven.

Black cats: protect you and break evil.
White cats: soldiers and security guards.
Grey: recognize the aliens around you, warning you against evil.
Ginger: bringer of luck.
Red String Time (Durga / Banda-Raksha / Rachelle / Kaballah): Cut a red string that will be long enough to fit around your wrist. Tie 7 knots in the string. For every knot you make a wish or say a prayer. Keep the red string on as long as possible. Try to keep it on until next year the same time. If it breaks off before the time tie it around a tree. The scarlet string is mentioned in Genesis chapter 38 verse 28. The custom originates from the Hindu Kavala (Kabbalah). It makes its wearer lucky and divinely protected. Men and single females wear it on the right wrist and married women on the left. It is tied to the wrist during the full moon in August (Shravana Purnima). Lunar month of Shravana.
In China and Japan it is thought to attract love and a soul mate.
Southern Hemisphere Lammas:
*Some writers suggest that all the celebrations should be turned around for the Southern Hemisphere and that during Lammas we should celebrate Imbolc. Religious / Spiritual celebrations are universal and cannot be turned around for the simple fact that they are based on the movement of the planets and not on the seasons.
*These festivals are based on the movement of the planets.
A study or research in Astro-theology clearly reveals this.
Pray to the moon when she is round,
Luck with you will then abound
What you seek for shall be found
On the sea or solid ground.
