from "The Magical Household" by Scott Cunningham and David Harrington
"The Autumn Equinox, circa September 21, marks another harvest festival. You may wish to decorate the home with dried ears of colored corn. Some folks avoid using gray corn, for it's looked upon with suspicion. But ears of red, yellow, and blue corn--sacred to many North American peoples--are beautiful and inexpensive symbols of the season. Gourds and dried sheaves of wheat are also highly appropriate decorations.
Actually, these items are more than decorations. Not only do they contain specific energies which they lend to your house, they're also symbols that have powerful effects on our imagination. When we look at the dried corn piled on the table on September 21st, we're instantly aware of the significance of the day. Through the symbol, we're linked with harvest festivals of untold antiquity. Even though most of us don't grow all our food, the seasons still influence us. Magical people, as well as magical households, attune with the seasons as a part of living with nature and practicing magic."
