====Wicca==== [[Wicca]]ns use the names "Lughnasadh" or "[[Lammas]]" for the first of their autumn harvest festivals. It is one of the eight yearly "Sabbats" of their [[Wheel of the Year]], following Midsummer and preceding Mabon. It is seen as one of the two most auspicious times for [[handfasting (Neopaganism)|handfasting]], the other being at Beltane.<ref name="Farrar">{{Cite book |last=Farrar |first=Janet & Stewart |title=Eight Sabbats for Witches |publisher=Phoenix Publishing |year=198 |isbn=0-919345-26-3 |pages=102β3, 106}}</ref> Some Wiccans mark the holiday by baking a figure of the "corn god" in bread, and then symbolically sacrificing and eating it.<ref name="SpiralDance" />
