The Roman goddess Aestas was the corn goddess of summer. She is represented by the tarot card the Empress and symbolizes all things surrounding material prosperity, powerful sexual energy, and radiant health.
To honor Aestas, place a white candle in the center of the table. Place a small wooden plate on the table, and rub the edges of the plate with ginseng oil as a sexual enhancer. Next sprinkle the plate with dill for its healing properties. Now drizzle the plate with a mix of olive oil and garlic. Tear off a chunk of cornbread with your fingers. Warm the bread over the candle for three or four seconds, then dip in the oil on the plate. Eat the cornbread while repeating mentally: "Wealth, money, health, abundance. All these are mine." |
