Behold, the harvest is at hand;
And thick on the encircling hills
The sheaves like an encampment stand,
Making a martial fairy-land
That half the landscape fills.
The plains in colors brightly blent
Are burnished by the standing grain
That runs across a continent.
In sheets of gold or silver stain
Or red as copper from the mine,
The oats, the barley, and the buckwheat shine.
Our beautiful Goddess of the Harvest Bookmark was made in collaboration with Annika Weidner of Pitchblack Illustration, in honour of what is, to me, the most magickal and breathtaking time of the year.
The wood bookmark is locally laser engraved on sustainable baltic birch, and makes a keepsake bookmark or lovely altar piece.
