Lammas Poetry from the Temple of the Muse of Isis

Lammas Author Unknown. 
Sent to the Temple of The Muse of Isis
 by Priestess Rev.  Ann Waters
"Truly blessed are we that receive the bounty of the Harvest,
Blessed be our Mother Earth, Blessed be our Father Sun,
As They teach us of life, death, and rebirth.
I honor Thee, The Two that are One."
"Blessed be the Harvest,
Blessed be the Corn Mother, Blessed be the Grain God,
For together they nourish both body and soul.
Many blessings we have been given,
and we count them now by this bread."
                                                                        (Now name all the things that you are currently grateful for, and then eat a piece of handmade bread. )
"I give thanks to the Great Mother,
Goddess of fertile land.
And to the Great Father,
Consort and Provider.

For as their bounty sustains my life,
so does their bounty sustain my brethren-

All living creatures of wood and field,
Of lake and stream, and of air.

Of these blessings I partake and share.
Blessed be this Harvest Day, The Givers and the gift. 
"From the sheaf comes the seed, out of the seed comes the sheaf."
"All things have their season.
Again the wheel has turned and brought us to the season of the First Harvest.
A time when we reflect on what we have sown by what we reap.
(Take note of your own harvest of wishes & intentions sown so many months ago)
Blessed Be our Mother, whose womb contains and bears all life.
Blessed Be our Father, whose seed plants all life.
Blessed Be the Two that are One,
From Them life flows and flows back again."
