(^154) A Wiccan Bible
where corn is ready to come in, kettles and grills can be used to create a veritable corn
feast. If you can, find a farmer willing to sell whole stalks. Soak the ears in seawater
without shucking them and place them on the grill. If you do not have access to seawa-
ter, mix sea salt with fresh water and soak away. Then make it a feast of shucking as you
eat.
Ah, but what of the stalks? Although we are still a month and a half away from
Samhain, we are only a day until the season of Samhain begins. Why not put those
stalks to good use, making dolls and stands of corn stalks for decorations, protection,
and blessings? Remember, in just a month and a half the Pooka will begin cursing
whatever crops have not been harvested, so he is probably starting to have a look see
right now.
