To Do Today: In Devon village, England, there lies an old stone called, Devil's Boulder. Legend says that during a battle, Satan flung this stone into the village. To keep peace and prosperity in the tow and ensure continued good harvests, the stone must be turned annually. For us, this might translate into an annual furniture rearrangement, leaving one piece of grain in each piece to invoke Henwen's ongoing providence for your home. To partake of Henwen's abundance and encourage your own nurturing nature, try eating whole grain toast for breakfast with honey (which comes from Goddess's bees!) Or enjoy a BLT for lunch and pork roast for dinner, Since the sow is Henwen's sacred animal, eating its meat symbolically allows you to "take in" this Goddess's essence. If you have indoor plants ask Henwen to keep them green and growing by putting a piece of grain or a small dab of honey in each pot. This will become part of the soil, nourishing the plant with Henwen's power.
