Corn Moon blesses us with a bounty of food, and teaches us to be mindful of the never-ending cycle of life. It’s the ninth teaching from Grandmother Moon in Anishinaabe tradition that views the moon as a living relation who makes 13 appearances throughout the year to watch over Mother Earth’s children and light their paths with her gentle wisdom.
In September, the corn is ready to be harvested, and as we remove the husks, we uncover 13 rows of multi-coloured kernels representing all the spirits that are waiting to begin their walk on Earth. Corn Moon reminds us that every decision must be made with future generations in mind, and preserve this world for all our relations that are yet to come.
