Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a time of warmth and abundance, a celebration of the first harvest that brings us together to honour the earth’s bounty. For me, this time of year evokes memories of family gatherings, where the kitchen was filled with the smell of freshly baked bread and laughter echoed through the house. Now, as a practising witch, I find joy in weaving simple spells into my Lammas rituals, enhancing the sense of gratitude and prosperity that this sabbat brings. Join me as I share five of my favourite Lammas spells that can help you welcome abundance into your life with ease and intention.
Let’s great straight to the spells!

Final Thoughts.
Lammas is a beautiful time to slow down and appreciate the fruits of our labour. The spells we’ve explored are more than just rituals. They are a way to deepen our connection to the earth and to the cycles of nature. Each spell is a step towards embracing the abundance that surrounds us and inviting more of it into our lives.
In my practice, I’ve found that the magic of Lammas lies in its simplicity and its heartfelt intention. Whether it’s baking (gluten free) bread, creating a gratitude jar, or meditating under the harvest moon, these spells remind us to celebrate what we have and to welcome the gifts yet to come. It’s a gentle reminder that abundance is not just about wealth but about the richness of experiences and relationships.
I hope these spells inspire you to celebrate Lammas in your own unique way. Share your abundance, express your gratitude, and let the magic of the season fill your heart and home. I would love to hear about your own Lammas traditions and how these spells have enriched your celebrations. Wishing you a joyous and abundant Lammas!
