:consecrate_spell:Spell Instructions:
**1. Ground & Center**
Sit quietly. Take a few deep breaths. Visualize golden light pouring over you like warm summer sun, connecting you to the Earth.
**2. Light the Candle**
As you do, say: “By fire and flame, I honor the Sun. Its golden gifts, its work well done.
As fields ripen and grains are reaped, I call in harvest, blessings deep.”
**3. Offer Gratitude**
Hold the bread in your hands. Whisper or speak aloud 3–5 things you are grateful for. Infuse the bread with your thankfulness.
Break off a small piece and say: “Blessed be this harvest day, What I give thanks for, comes my way.”
Eat a piece, and leave the rest as an offering outside or buried in the earth.
**4. Seed the Future**
Take your pen and write down what you hope to harvest in the coming months — not just material, but growth, healing, wisdom, love.
Fold the paper. Sprinkle a few seeds or herbs onto it. Say: “As these seeds, my dreams I sow.
By Lammas light, they start to grow.”
Place it under the candle while it burns (safely). Later, bury the paper and herbs in your garden or a potted plant.
**5. Close the Spell**
Raise the bowl of water/wine and say: “To Earth, to Sun, to all who give, For all I have, and all I live —I give my thanks, my heart, my light. This spell is sealed on Lammas night.”
Drink it mindfully or pour it as an offering outdoors.
**🌀 Optional Affirmation:**
Repeat three times: “I am the golden field, the ripened grain, I welcome joy, release all pain. With open heart and harvest near, I walk with power, free of fear.”
