How was our Harvest Goddess created??
To create my version of the Harvest Goddess, I chose to use small square wire chicken fencing to create her body (upper). Under her skirt, is an 18-in diameter cedar log that keeps her stable and strong. Her hourglass top frame attached firmly.
The Harvest goddesses skirt is made from fresh local harvested corn large stock corn, wild pompous grass, smaller ornamental corn stalks from my personal garden, as well as Willow Birch Maple oak twigs and small branches. The upper part of her skirt is filled in with juniper and cedar and pampas grass.
Her corset made from sustainably harvested birch bark from our Forest. Trimmed beautifully, with real Moss also from our forest. Her beautiful bouquet is filled to the brim with, Small ornamental corn, pampas grass, full red flower, faux pumpkins, mushrooms and more.
The Harvest Goddess has well proportioned arms, crafted from wild grapevine.
She is daintaly dressed and decorated with small amounts of moss and cedar from head to toe, most of which are also adorned with amethyst black kyanite selenite and clear quartz.
They harvest goddess wears a double head peace, One of a complete Moss ring topped by a wild green grapevine headpiece.
Her headdress made of wild pompous grass, large stock, corn pieces, turkey and other wild bird feathers, real crystals, Moss and And faux mushrooms and pumpkins.

Corn dollies, corn mothers and corn maidens go way back in many cultures. The basic idea in some traditions was to save the last husks of the harvest and fashion it into a braid, small favor or shape of a female figurine. This would then be hung or placed in such a way in celebrations as to honor the spirit of the harvest.
It was believed that the preservation of the spirit was in the corn dolly for the duration of winter and in some traditions, the corn dolly was then plowed into the ground the next spring when it was time to seed again.
The form of the Harvest Goddess may have represented many things, whether it was corn, wheat or some other grain… but the symbolism was basically the same.
To the Romans she was known as Autumnus, Ceres, Feronia or Pomona. Greeks celebrated a three day festival for Demeter. Native Americans thought of her as the Corn Mother or Selu. In Egypt, she is known as Renenutet and Mexicans call her Pachamama. Even the Japanese made fire offerings to Huichi with the belief that she would give strength to the workers to complete the harvest.
I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to the many archetypes she goes by, but whatever name she is known as or which culture celebrated her, she was the spirit of the harvest and regarded with much love and respect.
​
There are multiple harvest goddesses across different mythologies, including:
Demeter: The Greek goddess of harvest and fertility, and the origin of the story of the seasons. The Greeks celebrated a three-day festival in her honor.
Ceres: The Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. She was one of Rome's agricultural deities to be listed among the Dii Consentes, Rome's equivalent to the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology.
Renenutet: The Egyptian goddess of fertility and the harvest, who was sometimes depicted as a snake. She was also the protector of the king.
Pachamama: The Mexican goddess of the harvest.
Corn Mother or Selu: The Native American goddess of the
harvest.
