We have begun to harvest the fruit that hangs heavy on the pregnant vine, careful of the bees busily socializing with the vibrant flowers. Summer means hummingbirds visiting in the morning and bats at dusk, sleepy cats and fat dogs panting in the August shade.
As we feel the Sun's golden heat on our faces, it's hard to imagine that once again we are moving into the waning half of the year. This Lammas edition is a small issue, but a rich harvest.
The hot summer days yield up delicious fresh taste treats, and Katherine brings you a feast of summer with eggplant and other nightshade cousins. Janice waxes pragmatic about the energy flow of money magick and Eric Riley questions whether we need to contemplate recalculating the Sabbats.
We bring back two writers that we have not heard from in awhile -- Sannion rejoins us with a humorous look at the Christian deity and how he might fit into the Hellenic pantheon, and Pete Pathfinder from the ATC, who has been doing prison ministry for many years, rallies clergy.
We have our always wonderfully insightful astrology column from Theas and a fun short piece by Mark Dalton...and new slugs from Steven!
There is treasure packed into this twelve- page issue and we hope your Lammas is a blessed and bountiful one!
