"May the harvest bring you love, light and magic and may you reap all that you wish for"
Lammas - 1st August - marks the middle of summer and beginning of the harvest season. Lammas is considered a time of thanksgiving and is the first of the three Pagan harvest festivals.
I wanted to open up a 'thanksgiving' thread where we can share what we value about being part of this 365 community - this 'tribe of choice'.
I love the culture that I experience at 365 – and I do think it works in a 'reap what you wish for' way. For me, 365 has an atmosphere, a culture that we all contribute to, it's a co-creation – a culture of encouragement, positivity, celebration of uniqueness and talent. The antithesis of a perhaps more familiar culture that pushes for conformity, sameness, good behaviour .. a culture that mutes out bright colours, a grey world, a black and white world ..
But here, here there is colour, life, diversity, and mutual support .. I find that I share more openly here, on 365, than I do with the people on my friends list on Facebook.

Lammas is the first, to mark the beginning of the harvesting season, then Mabon is on the Autumn equinox. The third one is Samhain, which marks a celebration of the end of the harvest, and the beginning of the Celtic New Year :o)
@sarahhorsfall Thank you. Interesting; I never met Mabon and I know Samhain as being the Pagan version of All Souls' Day rather than a harvest festival.
