Dear Friends and Family,
This festival/ceremony marks the true threshold of the grain harvest. Lunasa celebrates the gathering of the grains and food of the fields. It is also a time to connect to the weather beings to continue fair through the next two months of harvesting. Nowadays it is more of an opportunity to spend in gratitude for Mother Nature’s bounty and generosity. For thousands of years, sheaves of grain covered the fields marking the abundance of food for winter storage.
Over the last 12-13 years, I have been leading a ceremony called The Night Turtle Dance where in August we come together in community and family to dance our gratitude to our First Mother. This year this is not so possible so I invite us all to make prayer together, to sing songs, and celebrate the abundance of our Mother Earth. I welcome us to wear white and wreath flowers into our hair. If you can, bring a bundle of cedar or juniper along with a rattle, bowl of water, a candle, and crystal salt.
It is always important in the midst of the lusciousness of summer that we start the foundation of that which will keep us warm, fed, and sheltered for when we are on the other side of this circle. This year is poignant and thirsty for our prayer. Let us prepare the way together in gratitude and in expression of our love for Our Mother’s Dream
