A friend that has passed said it best –

Magickal, powerful week in store….new moon and Lammas, new month….new beginnings and the beginning of the end. Every single one of us holds magick in us. It’s that driving will to make good things  happen. Magick is being aware of the Elements, the seasons, your choice of faith and who you look to for guidance….Lammas is the first harvest, gather what you need to survive, cast aside what doesn’t serve you. You’d be surprised the bounty your basket holds. BB
