ONE OF THESE DAYS I HAVE TO RECORD THIS TWO YEAR PROJECT/RITUAL.
(The short short of it? We performed a reaping ritual during a lunar eclipse in a local wheat field last August (or was it September?). After I spilled His blood I cut a huge bundle to create a didukh that was dressed for Christmas, featured in our Easter/Great Rite altar (you can't see the wheat itself, but you can see the decorative cloth it's wrapped up in behind the sickle) and then "threshed" (<- FANCY FOR SEPARATING EACH FUCKING GRAIN BY FUCKING HAND AND DISLODGING THE SEED FROM ITS SPINY, PAPERY COVERING) the sheath so we could ritually plant the ritually gathered and ritually infused seeds at home.)
(There's a lot more than that, but at least you get the gist.)

Every day I go out - rain or shine - and stroke my beautiful, beloved wheat. (And when I water it it BLEEDS. <- NO JOKE. I'VE BEEN MEANING TO TAKE A PICTURE!)
