“Made up of a mix of all the grains, legumes, and edible seeds grown in any given area,” writes Siobhan Ball, “polysporia belongs to that most fundamental class of agricultural ritual: the kind that gets down to the bare bones of the relationship between man and gods, expressing plainly what we want and what we’re willing to give in exchange.”
Siobhan Ball introduces readers to the magical lore that surrounds mint and pennyroyal, a family of herbs associated with the goddesses and gods of the underworld, and offers up a refreshing mint, tomato, and coriander salad that’s perfect for a barbecue.
The performance of the Eleusinian Mysteries in Eleusis draws inspiration from traditions that have their roots in ancient Greece, offering modern Pagans a window to the past in the celebration of Spring.
