Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast.
Wishing you a blessed Lughnasadh or Lammas to you and yours!
In this Sabbat special 'Solitary Witch' episode of the podcast, host Swailes, the Friendly Green Witch, celebrates Lammas, the first harvest festival of the wheel of the year. She shares an original folklore tale about the Sun god and John Barleycorn, exploring themes of sacrifice and renewal. Swailes then discusses the historical roots of this sabat and the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh, honouring deities like Lugh and the Dagda. She offers practical ways to celebrate, including baking bread and community service, while reflecting on modern parallels to ancient traditions, including personal anecdotes about parenting and urban wildlife.
