About Wheat Weaving:

Wheat Weaving is an ancient cross-cultural folk art and harvest ritual. From Ancient Egypt to North America, farmers believed that there was a spirit that inhabited the grain fields. At the end of the harvest season they would take the remaining stalks and weave them into intricate designs that were kept inside the home all winter. When spring arrived, the designs were unwoven and the wheat heads were the first seeds that were sown for that year’s crop. The idea being that the lucky spirit was still in the wheat and would ensure a bountiful harvest.
