Harvest Knot work

Incense of the day: Almond

Throughout the month of October, farmers worked hard to bring in
the grain harvest during the good weather (and before the end of the
year at Samhain). In Ireland, as part of the harvest celebration,
small ornamental twists or knots of braided straw were created and
worn as a sign that the harvest was completed. These were made
throughout the harvest season, and were also worn at the "Harvest
Home" supper. Women wore elaborately created knots with the grain ears
still attached, and men wore simpler knots without the ears. Patterns
for harvest knot-making are easy to find online. After soaking the
straw, think about what prayers or magical work you would like to
weave into the harvest knot. Repeat your charm or prayer as you make
your magical autumn weaving
