A little back story on Lughnasadh:
Lughnasadh or Lammas is celebrated on August eve or August 1st and is the first of the harvest festivals. Lammas is the Anglo-Saxon name, meaning Loaf mass and Lughnasadh is the festival of Lugh, a Celtic God of Light and Fire.
Lughnasadh is a time of the fullness of Life, a celebration of the bountiful earth. It is also a time of the sacrificial mating of Goddess and God, where the Corn King, given life by the Goddess and tasting of Her love is sacrificed and transformed into bread and ale which nourishes us. Lammas is a day of thanksgiving to the Goddess for Her bountiful harvest and is the perfect time to state your hopes for what you wish to harvest and is a time of transformation and the sharing of the energy of the Corn King. Spells of prosperity, abundance and fertility are also wonderful to perform on this sacred day.
This is Willow's mix using the herbs and oils associated with this holiday. She added Dragons Blood Oil to give it a powerful charge.
What you need:
Mortar and pedestal
Frankincense

Use equal parts Willow uses a tablespoon. On the oil she does 6 drops.
Place 1 tablespoon of each herb and 6 drops of the oil into the mortar and pedestal. Grind together this can take some time and muscle on the frankincense, to ease your issues use sandlewood powder.
