I Should Mention……

Since Lammas is now so close, we will be providing little hints along the way on how to celebrate and various other things.  Like this one right here…..

 

Collect corn husks, dry and store in shade.  “Corn” was a generic term for cereal crops (i.e., wheat, barley, oats), and New World corn was added after 1520.  Our non-irrigated winter wheat is harvested in June and July where I live.  We can collect wild wheat stalks and seeds, tie, and hang in shade.  Make a corn dolly and keep until the Yule Celebration.  We can pick fruit (apricots, berries, figs and plums) and dry them.  Many kinds for fruit are ripe in late July, so place some of these on your home altar.  Many garden herbs are at their peak and ready for harvesting to make herbal remedies, air fresheners, use in herbal magic, and for decoration.  There are hundreds of good books and websites on the magical, sacramental, and health uses of herbs.
