Lughnasa Ritual Empty
PostSubject: Lughnasa Ritual   Lughnasa Ritual Icon_minitimeWed Aug 01, 2007 9:55 am

An old Pagan custum associated with Lughnasa is the making of a corn doll from the last sheaf of corn from a harvest.

For good luck throughout the coming 12 months, the corn doll is traditionaly hung up in the kitchen or in the chimney and kept there untill the following Lughnasa when it is ritually burned.

It is said that if the previous years corn doll is not removed before Yule, the next harvest will be a poor one.

To make a traditional Witch's corn doll for good luck, twist or tie together a few husks of corn into a small female figure, if desired you may dress the corn doll and decoate it with dried flowers.

Anoint it with a few drops of frankincense or clove oil and then pass it twelve times through the smole of burning sage to consecrate it as you change your intent over it.
