Lammas

Corn Dollies
It’s Lammastide, Lughnassadh, Calan Awst. This is the wheat harvest season, and thus, our folk made Corn Dollies. They are to honor the spirit of the grain, the bounty of the harvest, the fruitful goddess.
            We use corn shucks to make little figurines to adorn our shrines, protect our homes and vehicles, and because it’s fun. Our ancestors made these elaborately-woven whirlagigs and figurines from stalks of wheat.
         While ours may look amateurish, they serve the same purpose – they are spiritual symbols of plentitude. They’re apotropaic devices. And they’re something fun to do with your family.
Blessed Lughnassadh! Braw Calan Awst!
