Subject: RE: Happy! - July 31 (Lughnasadh)
Not everyone that celebrates Lammas/Lughnasadh is Wiccan. Wiccan tends to be a blanket term used in the USA to cover those who practice Witchcraft/Druidry/Shamanism. Under the Witchcraft name there are many demominations...Like the term Christian is used for Catholics and Protestants etc. I am a member of a 'Traditional Witchcraft' Coven, I am not Wiccan...a religion that was set up or made famous by Gerald Gardner. Our Coven went to a piece of Forest owned by our HP and HPS and relaxed around the fire, the men built a new wood shelter. We were going to do some archery but we seemed to run out of time. We held our Lammas Ritual and had a feast after before heading back home and the sparkling metropolis of London! It was nice to get out of the city and relax amongst like minded friends in the beautiful forest.
