falls between midsummer & mabon

The first of the three harvest festivals, this harvest is primarily to celebrate the harvest of grain; corn, wheat, rye, barley, etc. We celebrate the fertility of the earth mother & traditionally offer up a sacrifice of the harvest to her as thanks.  

after this sabbat the sun's light noticeably wanes

and though the warmth of summer lingers, it is coming to an end.
