As the wheel of the year turns once again, we arrive at Lughnasadh (LOO-nuh-suh) (also known as Lammas), the first of the harvest festivals. Traditionally celebrated on August 1st, Lughnasadh marks the gathering of the first grain, a time of gratitude, abundance, and preparation. It’s a moment when we pause to reflect on what we’ve sown—spiritually, emotionally, and literally—and begin to gather the fruits of our labor.

This turning point is also mirrored in the Back to School season, a modern rite of passage that brings with it a flurry of excitement, organization, and intention-setting. Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or lifelong learner, this season invites us to re-ground, refocus, and prepare for the journey ahead. In many ways, Lughnasadh and back-to-school season echo one another: both call us to take stock, to celebrate growth, and to set ourselves up for the next chapter.

At Anillav Creations, we’ve embraced the energy of the season with a line of handmade, personalized Back to School essentials designed to add intention, joy, and just a bit of sass to your daily routine. Some favorites:

Heading into early fall, the days grow shorter, the air a little crisper, and we begin to shift inward.
