in praise of grain

Ritual was simple, sincere and short today because of the HOT weather.
We broke bread and poured a libation of ale...
In the NORTH, to honor the soil that nourishes the crops.
In the EAST, to honor the air that sweeps across the fields.
In the SOUTH, to honor the sunlight that causes crops to grow.
In the WEST, to honor the summer storms that sweep across the fields.
We came to the well in the center of the circle, and offered stalks of wheat to the Lady.
Blessed be the harvest!
