    What It Is

    August 1 — the cross-quarter marking the first grain harvest. Bread is broken from the new wheat. Lugh, the many-skilled god, hosts the funeral games for his foster-mother, the land.

    How to Observe It

    Bake or break bread today. Consider what you planted at Ostara that is ready to be gathered. Give the first portion away.
