Lammas Witchcraft: Connecting with the Spirit of the Grain

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival celebrated in the pagan tradition of witchcraft. It marks the halfway point between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox and is typically observed on August 1st or the closest weekend. This festival is associated with the early harvest season and is a time to honor the abundance of the earth and give thanks for the bountiful crops. During a Lammas witchcraft ceremony, practitioners gather in a sacred space, such as a garden, grove, or their own homes. The ceremony often begins with a purification ritual, where participants cleanse themselves with water or herbal smudging to prepare for the sacred work ahead. This process helps to clear any negative or stagnant energies from the space and the individuals involved.

The collections of keys in the bottom left of the panel let you manipulate the in out points of clips, slip the underlying clip without changing the in out points, roll the edit point between two clips, and change the duration of a transition. The interface input can also be switched to SDI so you can see the talent up close for checking lip sync while editing, and an SDI output that mirrors the HDMI output lets you connect the interface to a remote SDI monitor.

This process helps to clear any negative or stagnant energies from the space and the individuals involved. Next, the focus shifts to creating a connection with the natural world and the harvest. Participants may gather fresh fruits, vegetables, or grains to symbolize the abundance of the season.

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

It is so nice to see a small family owned shop instead of these big box stores. I generally felt cared about when getting my blackmagic cinema camera. Love the quality of the images and how easy it is to use.

This small business has the best customer service HANDS DOWN!!

Lucas worked with me diligently to help me find a camera that would fit my needs and that would arrive in time for my trip. I take photos, but wanted a smaller, more compact camera to take with me when traveling. He even reached out to other camera experts to make sure he was giving me the best advice for the equipment that would accommodate my needs!

Lucas was patient with me and was in constant contact with the camera supplier to keep me updated on the status of my order and when the items would be ready for shipment. Once my order arrived to the store, it was in my hands in less than 2 days. I would give 10 stars to this business if I could!!

AMAZING SERVICE!
In short: I was able to receive the black colorway below retail and free next day shipping with the promos that they offered for being a new camera web-shop based from AZ.

Long story: Lucas who is prolly the only rep for the company cuz they're so small is the best dude ever. Since i ordered he responded on emails and updates quicker than some of my friends texting me back about where am at on the list as people just kept cancelling their order. I went from 9th place in line to 4th place in line for the silver. And he hit me up saying that they were still waiting on Fuji to send shipping updates and that no company knows what they get on their weekly fuji shipments other than from a 24 hour window of receiving shipping details.

He then noted that there were two black X100Vs available that were reserved to customers who ordered but have not confirmed. I said if they dont confirm please let me know and ill take that instead of the silver. The next day he hits me saying the customer said to cancel and he sent me an invoice. I ordered accessories for the camera on amazon right after and my package for the camera came before my amazon package. Lucas was super nice and transparent about everything. Dope experience from NUZIRA.

Lucas was so incredibly helpful. I’ve genuinely never had better customer service. They offered to stay late so I could get my order and were so patient with all my questions. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Edit with both hands with the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

Traditional edit software uses thousands of clips to organize their media, so customers need to constantly click and drag clips to edit. That’s too slow for work such as TVCs, news, promos and training videos. However old tape based linear editing had the advantage of all media being played from a videotape, so customers could simply fast forward and rewind to see all their shots. Now the cut page has a modern version of the videotape and it’s called the "source tape". Simply push the source button and use the search dial to scroll through all their media. Plus, the current clip is highlighted live in the bin. After the edit the viewer will stay in the source tape so customers can move to the next shot faster.

Editing with a keyboard is different to editing with a mouse, so the cut page editing functions have been upgraded to take advantage of the speed of a keyboard. The edit functions are intelligent and use the "smart indicator" in the timeline to work out where to insert, so most of the time customers don't need to place in or out points in the timeline to do an edit. They are located just above the in and out keys, so are easy to locate by feel. Plus each time customers edit, the cut page won't waste time switching over to the timeline, allowing customers to stay in the source tape and visually browse, placing clips continuously. That's much faster as customers can just keep throwing clips into the timeline.

With a large high quality search dial built into the panel, customers get an extremely accurate way to trim shots. With the search dial being such a physically large control, it completely transforms how it feels to trim shots. Plus it’s much faster too. The trim buttons will change the search dial into a trim control and customers simply hold the trim buttons and rotate the search dial. This means customers can select various trim modes with their left hand while adjusting the trim with their right. It's extremely fast and the smart indicator in the timeline will let customers know which edit users are trimming. Just move along the timeline and live trim edits. It’s a whole new way to work.

Editing software can be slow at adding transitions to edits because customers have to click and drag effects down into the timeline. However, with the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor, customers can just press a button to switch them on and off. It’s really fast as customers can scroll down the timeline adding or removing effects. The smart indicator in the timeline will let customers know which edit point will be affected, and customers can move the timeline to move the edit point in focus. The cut key will remove any effect on an edit point in the timeline. Pressing dissolve adds a dissolve to the edit point using the default duration. Pressing the smooth cut button adds a smooth cut so customers can eliminate jump cuts.

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor eliminates the large QWERTY keyboard for a smaller more portable design, so the function button area includes only the controls customers need for editing. Some of the enhanced function keys on the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor are not even available on the full sized editor keyboard. Plus, some keys have an alternative function where customers can press and hold or double press to get a second function using the same key. That means customers need less keys for a more portable design, but it still retains a lot of editing power. The keys are in a separate group so customers can find the key customers need by feel and operate faster than a regular keyboard.

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor model includes built in Bluetooth so customers can use the keyboard without messy wires, and customers can even use it in conjunction with their regular computer keyboard. That’s perfect for using it with a laptop. Customers can also use the keyboard via USB if required and the USB connection will also charge the internal battery. With Bluetooth and a built in battery, the keyboard is extremely portable.

"We think this is an incredibly exciting product as it has such dramatic workflow ramifications," said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. "Until now, editing software has been designed to be used with a mouse, however that’s slow as each edit function often takes multiple mouse clicks to do each task. Now with the DaVinci Resolve cut page and the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor being co-designed, it means they work together for a whole new generation of editing workflow. It's so fast and a lot of fun to use!"

These offerings are often arranged on an altar or placed in a circle to serve as a focal point for the ritual. Prayers, incantations, or invocations are then spoken to acknowledge and honor the earth's fertility and the blessings of the harvest. These may be words written by the participants themselves or traditional prayers passed down within the witchcraft community. As a time of gratitude and reflection, Lammas ceremonies often include activities or rituals centered around giving thanks. Participants may take turns sharing what they are grateful for or engage in a communal meditation to express their appreciation for the blessings in their lives. In addition to gratitude, Lammas is also a time to acknowledge the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change. Participants may engage in divination practices, such as tarot readings or scrying, to gain insight into the upcoming autumn season and the changes it may bring. This can help individuals prepare themselves mentally and spiritually for the transitions that lie ahead. Lastly, celebrations during a Lammas witchcraft ceremony may include dancing, singing, and feasting. Music and movement help to raise the energy in the space, enhancing the spiritual experience of the ritual. Sharing a meal together, often made from the fresh foods gathered earlier, creates a sense of community and strengthens the bonds between participants. Overall, a Lammas witchcraft ceremony is a time to celebrate and honor the blessings of the harvest season, express gratitude, and prepare for the transitions of the upcoming autumn season. It is a sacred time to connect with nature, the cycles of life, and the abundance of the earth..

Reviews for "Lammas Witchcraft: Building a Connection with the Land"

1. John - 1 star - I recently attended a Lammas witchcraft ceremony and I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. The whole experience felt extremely forced and cheesy. It seemed more like a performance than an authentic spiritual event. The leader of the ceremony didn't seem to have a deep understanding of witchcraft and it just didn't resonate with me at all. I left feeling like I had wasted my time and money.

2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Lammas witchcraft ceremony, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The ambiance was lacking, and the whole event felt disorganized. The rituals conducted during the ceremony felt rushed and did not evoke the intended sense of mysticism and connection. Overall, I felt disconnected from the experience and left feeling underwhelmed.

3. David - 2 stars - I attended a Lammas witchcraft ceremony and was left feeling quite disappointed. The organizer seemed more concerned with creating an Instagram-worthy event rather than focusing on the spiritual aspects. The whole thing felt superficial and commercialized. I was expecting a deeper exploration of witchcraft and its traditions, but instead, it felt like a shallow spectacle. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a genuine and meaningful experience.
