Using Corn in 7 Magical Ways

 

To use corn in magical workings, think of the symbolism of this hearty grain. Here are some ways you can use corn in ritual:

 

Use corn in rituals involving growth and transformation. After all, a single kernel brings you a tall stalk full of (you guessed it!) more kernels! You can also associate it with self-sustainability and fertility, both of people and of the land.

Ceres was the Roman goddess of grain, specifically corn, and of the harvest season. According to Roman legend, she was the one who taught mankind how to farm. She is associated with agricultural fertility and a bountiful harvest. Make her an offering, and she may well protect your crops from natural disasters such as flooding or blight.

Create herbal sachets out of the husks, to use around the house, bringing in magic associated with various herbs.

Make offerings to gods or goddesses of fertility. Depending on your tradition, different deities like different things, but in general, you can't go wrong with offerings that are food, drink, or handmade items.

Sprinkle corn around your ritual area to delineate sacred space. This is a great way to create an eco-friendly circle that you don't have to clean up later. Don't worry, the birds and other local wildlife will take care of it!

 

Make a corn doll to honor the deity of your tradition.

Create a corn husk chain, with each link representing a magical goal. As you get closer to the goal, remove a link, and either burn it, bury it, or return it into your garden.

>The eye was always covered with seven, very heavy eyelids (cloaks) keeping it cool and safe and four strong men were needed to lift them up.
