Be on the lookout for harvest fairs and renaissance festivals in your area during the Lammas/Mabon season. This is a perfect time to get out and sample all the great produce and wines those places will have to offer. I highly recommend trying the Medieval Mead and other products Linganore Wineries (http://www.linganore-wine.com/) has to offer. I always stop by their booth at the Maryland RenFest to sample the mead... several times! The prices are reasonable, and the stuff is oh-so-good. (And boy, I wish I was their paid spokeswitch!)

A few obligatory links for more info on Lammas, before I leave you all to your apple pies, wheat weavings, and mead:

An offering of mythology on the holiday from various cultures, at Mything Links: http://www.mythinglinks.org/Lammas.html

An article focusing primarily on celtic traditions from Mike Nichols: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/72... and a similar one by Kathleen Dupree: http://www.leyline.org/cra/articles/lugh...

The Witchvox Lammas index: http://www.witchvox.com/holidays/xlughna...

And finally, a site with some traditional Lammas recipes: http://www.celticspirit.org/lughnasadh.h...

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow the days grow short!
