HARVEST BREAD
"...the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field; the bread that is baked in spirit, and the flour that has been milled in love."
Autumn Equinox ceremony, The Druid Order
A rich harvest handed down.
Soft words spoken on a hill
year before year before year;
magi, bootman, driver, lass.
Crossed bread, a culmination:
tilling, sowing, weeding, reap;
milling, mixing, kneading, bake;
cooling, smelling, breaking, eat.
Ancestral line continues.
Mother, crone, great-grandmother
grinding grain, mill magician;
raising spirit, yeast leavened;
loving life and living love.
