New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The first three days of August in Greece are called Drimes. A change of season is in the air and certain activities are avoided, such as chopping wood, swimming in the sea, and washing hair. People also abstain from eating meat until August 15. This is a time of transition. Expressions of this season of abundance include leaping over bonfires shouting "figs and walnuts!" and celebrating all night in vineyards. The weather on this day is said to predict the weather for the next three months. To celebrate the upcoming harvest season, enjoy foods today such as grapes, figs, and walnuts. Light candles to symbolize a bonfire and raise a toast to the harvest season. Invite abundance into your life with these words:
Harvest time is drawing near, May I reap from work this year. May fruit be heavy on the vine – Abundance flow to me like wine. |
