There wolf, there castle ...
Yes, I do make corn dollies, but not terribly consistently. I missed on them this year, for example. It's been busy. Thanks for the Lughnassadh or however the heck it's spelled greetings. That's why I usually call it Lammas.  What I've always wanted to make are Brigid's Crosses, but I tend to be short on wheat stalks and have never done it.

Brigid is my confirmation name.
As I got older I liked the ambivalence. |
