Corn Dolly

I made a Corn Dolly for Lughnasadh and the beginning of harvest season. Having moved to a place that has seasons, it's a lot easier for me to want to honor the holidays then it ever was before whilst living in the desert. While some of the aspects still don't apply in part of the world that can have fresh fruits and vegetables every day of the year (while other parts go without) it felt good to make a symbol honoring the thoughts and ideas that I want to harvest and store throughout the oncoming fall and winter months. Winter becomes dark and rainy, so I shall hold onto her as a reminder of the light of the summer and offer her up to the gods once the wheel turns and it is Imbolc once again.
