Dear Kindreds,

Lughnashad takes place around this the time of the first wheat harvest. The games, ritualistic sacrifice and contract negotiations would have actually taken place right after the first harvest. Without the clocks and calendars of today, that harvest time marked the fruition of summer and preparation for the dark.

According to WiIliam Bridges of "Transitions, Making Sense of Life's Changes", every transition begins with an ending. Summer is ending. We will feel the signs through a breeze that feels just a tad chilly, evenings seeming shorter with light or those pesky "Back to School:" ads everywhere. It takes an artist of life to do transition mindfully! I once had a ballet teacher that taught us that the real dancer is the one who can convince you to watch their transition with the same pleasure as the satisfying pose. May your transition to Fall be curious and full. Let the sadness be sweet.

Tarot Exercise Decide which of the four suits will represent Summer. Shuffle only that suite including its court cards and lay them face down in one long line. The intent is that this spread will represent the rhythm of this summer for you. Which card would you say is "now". How does the rest of August into September look like? Do you agree with the first half evaluation?

Non-Tarot Exercise Over the next month, find time to mindfully hold corn or wheat or even fruit. Concentrate on one area or relationship in your life in which you desire momentum. As you hold the corn of cob in its husk or the orange, think of the ways that you have been dissapointed, angry, or hopeless concerning the movement of this area/relationship. Now remove the out casing projecting all that blocked energy into the peelings. Hold the bear fruit/vegetable as the essence of your desire. Eat it! Bury or compost the rest.
