The First Harvest brings us to a place of sacrificing what is not viable yield and gathering to ourselves what will nourish and sustain us throughout the months ahead. What hope and potential was fed at Imbolc is now manifest and what choices we make to cut away to reach the ripeness of that potential will impart their wisdom on the next Turn of the Wheel. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessed Lammas!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n ***<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n About the Author:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Robin Fennelly<\/b><\/span>\u00a0is a Wiccan High Priestess, teacher, poet and author. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n She is the author of:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Inner Chamber Volume One<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s Written in the Stars<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Astrology<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Inner Chamber, Vol. Two<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n poetry of the Spheres (Volume 2)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Qabalah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Inner Chamber, Vol. Three<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Awakening the Paths<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Qabalah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Year With Gaia<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Eternal Cord<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Temple of the Sun and Moon<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Luminous Devotions<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Magickal Pen Volume One (Volume 1)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n A Collection of Esoteric Writings<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Elemental Year<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Aligning the Parts of SELF <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Enchanted Gate<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Musings on the Magick of the Natural World<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sleeping with the Goddess<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Nights of Devotion<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Weekly Reflection<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Musings for the Year<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Her books are available on\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>Amazon<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>or on this <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>website<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>and her\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>Blogs<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>can be found at<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>
