 | (Links disabled or in MySpace format) August Newsletter for Arsenic & Old Lace Current mood: busy Arsenic & Old Lace Happy Summer! Happy Summer and Happy Lammas! As our good friend Jonathan said in a recent email to us: "Whether we call it La Cornucopia, Lammas, Lughnasadh, Festa di Demeter Malophoros, Green Corn & Dance, First Harvest, Time of the Scythe, Lunasa, Feast of St Peter's Chains, or that magical moment when the stars align into just 5' Leo... Wishing you a wonderful celebration of First Fruits in this season of summer's bounty." Lammas is often called "The First Fruits" and is the first of the 3 harvest festivals in modern Paganism (Autumnal Equinox and Samhain are the other two) and is usually celebrated on August 1. A nice entry at Wikipedia is located here. To help celebrate, we're giving our members special discounts on our selection of Altar Cloths and our Tote/Messenger Bags. Save 15% here! Upcoming Events Where we will be and when... We have several events that we will be attending in the near future and would love to see you at them! Annual Society of Elder Faiths Lammas Faire!
