Spells and Rituals for Lammas: Abundance, Gratitude & Protection

Harness the Magic of the First Harvest

Lammas, also called Lughnasadh, is the perfect time to work powerful yet grounded magic. As the first harvest festival of the year, it’s a moment to honour what’s grown — both in your garden and in your life — and to set intentions for continued abundance and protection as the light begins to wane.

Whether you’re a solitary witch or working in a circle, these spells and rituals for Lammas are designed to help you connect with the season, reflect on your growth, and invite blessings into the months ahead.

Lammas Protection Spell for the Home

Purpose: To protect your home and loved ones as the year begins to darken.

You’ll need:

• A bowl of salt

• Rosemary or sage (fresh or dried)

• A black or white candle

• Your voice and intention

Steps:

1. Sprinkle the salt in a circle around the candle.

3. Say aloud:
   “From harvest to hearth, I cast this line. No harm may cross, no fear may find. My home is shielded. So it is.”

Lammas Sunrise Ritual for Inner Strength

Purpose: To connect with the power of the sun and gather courage for what’s to come.

Steps:

1. Wake up early and go outside (or sit at a window facing the rising sun).

2. Hold a piece of carnelian, sunstone, or citrine in your hand.

3. Breathe deeply and visualise the sunlight filling your body.

4. Speak aloud:
   “I rise with the light. I grow with the sun. I carry this strength into all I do.”

Keep the crystal with you throughout the day to carry that Lammas fire.

Closing Lammas Circle Ritual

If you’re gathering with others (or just want to make the sabbat feel extra sacred), close the evening with a small circle ritual:

• Share something you’ve learned or let go of since Imbolc

• Light a central candle and pass around seasonal fruit or drink

• Offer thanks to the land, the sun, and each other

If you’re alone, do this in front of your Lammas altar — it’s just as powerful when done in your own quiet way.

Final Thoughts

Lammas reminds us that magic doesn’t always have to be flashy or complicated. A loaf of bread, a candle, a whispered intention — these are the heart of witchcraft.

So however you choose to celebrate, may your Lammas spells and rituals bring you gratitude, strength, and the courage to continue your journey through the turning year. Blessed harvest.
