Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a Celtic festival celebrated on August 1st. It marks the beginning of the harvest season and is a time of gratitude, abundance, and community. The festival has roots in ancient pagan traditions, with many modern-day Wiccans and other neo-pagan groups still celebrating it. Traditionally, Lammas is associated with the first fruits of the harvest, communal feasting, and offerings of bread and grain. Today, let's explore a deck that embodies the themes and spirit of this bountiful season.

Seasons of the Witch: Lammas Oracle is part of an enchanting series inspired by the Wheel of the Year, which marks the changing seasons and celebrates various pagan festivals throughout the year. This series offers a stunning collection of decks honouring the Earth's ever-changing cycles. As you collect these decks, you'll gain a powerful divination tool and a spiritual companion to help you connect with your inner self and tap into the Earth's natural energy.

Cards and the Artwork

The Seasons of the Witch: Lammas Oracle deck includes 44 beautifully crafted cards, keeping the standard oracle size of approximately 9 x 12.5 cm (3.5 x 5 inches), consistent with the other decks in this series. These cards can be combined with others from the series to create a custom deck tailored to your preferences. The edges of the Lammas Oracle cards are gilded in a stunning yellowish-green colour, adding a unique touch that complements the Lammas theme perfectly. The card stock is of excellent quality, featuring a semi-gloss finish that ensures easy handling and shuffling.

Each card in this Lammas-themed deck is adorned with vibrant, full-sized images that capture the season's essence. The names of the cards are elegantly displayed at the top, making them easy to identify and remember. Additionally, each card includes a brief, insightful passage that imparts valuable Lammas-related guidance. The cards and the guidebook accompanying the cards are thoughtfully numbered, allowing for the effortless location of the information you need.

In line with the Lammas theme, the primary colours featured in the card design are yellow and green. For instance, the back of the cards showcases a lush green background with intricate yellow sunflower motifs symbolising the harvest season. The illustrations often feature elements like flowers or produce, highlighting the significance of these symbols in the Lammas celebration.

The artwork on these cards is rich with meaning. While cosy and minimalistic, the images draw you into their world with depth and detail. For example, the Welcoming the Harvest card transports you to a bountiful field ready for harvest. In contrast, the Cemetery card reminds you that death is also part of life. The imagery is both evocative and symbolic, inviting deeper reflection on the themes of growth, abundance, and transformation associated with Lammas.
