August is the beginning of the harvest. We celebrate Lammas festival to celebrate bread and grains. Flowers are in a full bloom in the fields. Goals come into fruitful completion. This is the best time to do rituals for prosperity and abundance. You can do it on Lammas itself or a following full Moon of August.

Bake or buy a loaf of bread with seeds sprinkled on the top. You can use poppy seeds, sesame seeds or any other. Hold the bread and say:

As plentiful as the seeds on this bread, so may my life be filled with prosperity, abundance and fame.

Then tear off a piece and eat it, taking magical energy inside and feeling the energy spread and grow with every bite. Leave a bit of bread for birds and crickets outside.
