Purification Paste Spell
Color of the day: Black Incense of the day: Ginger Incense of the day: Ginger Lammastide is traditionally a time of honoring the gods of harvestwhose myths were associated with ritual sacrifice. One modern novel, Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon, describes a modern-day community that still performs human sacrifice for their crops. Many modern Witch covens select a harvest lord and corn maiden, as in the novel, to preside over their rituals for a full year. The young lord is honored with praise and gifts before he is ritually "sacrificed" (we're talking symbolically, of course!) to feed the fields and ensure a good and bountiful harvest. The altar is decorated with produce. Bread is baked, and the scythe is displayed. Such rites are powerful as they capture the essence of the cycle of life-nature's design that rules all living things. |
