Wheat Berries
CAD $6.50
It is one of those few crops that have driven away hunger; it has been the symbol of prosperity and blessing since the beginning of human civilizations.
“When it comes to symbolism, wheat has much in common with similar staple crops, such barley, rice, and maize: A symbol of abundance, life, and fertility, wheat has also served as an emblem for deities associated with these notions, such as the Greek goddess of agriculture, Demeter. The name of her Roman counterpart, Ceres, gives us the word “cereal”, which in its original usage referred to grains.
Associated with rebirth and resurrection, this is due to a fairly straightforward aspect of the grain’s nature; when wheat sprouts from the soil after the barren season and grows into the mass of stalks that will feed the people throughout the year, it’s easy to see the phenomenon as new life emerging from the throes of death. This was particularly true in Egypt where Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, was even given small bundles made of linen and stuffed with the sprouting grain as a form of religious offering. In Christianity, the resurrection aspect of wheat is also on display. The Eucharist, the bread that becomes the body of Christ during communion, is sometimes represented as wheat, or paired artistically with grapes, symbolizing the wine of communion (i.e. the blood of Christ).” “Wheat.” Symbols.com.

This Red Fife wheat is a Canadian descendant from Galicia, Ukraine, its old local name being Halychanka. It was first grown in Canada by Dave Fife in Otonabee, Ontario in 1842. By the 1860’s it was distributed and grown across Canada.
Add to spells or charm bags to draw prosperity to you life, or leave on your altar as an offering to your beloved dead.
