A while since I listened to the words of that song @drtobydriver.bsky.social and it's rather amusing to me that there's no malting. There's growing, harvesting, threshing, winnowing, grinding between two stones and there's ale and whisky. The mysteries of malt! 🤓

John Barleycorn is the spirit of the grain in British folklore. Cut down at harvest, ground into flour, and brewed into ale, he returns with every growing season, reminding us that every harvest carries the promise of renewal.

And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard
And so become a man..."

Many poems and songs have been devoted to John Barleycorn, who is the personification of the barley harvest and the beer and ale made from it. My version is a handmade, clay plaque with pleated twine hanger.

Hey all. The seasons turn once again to first harvest called Lammas and Lughnassadh. Focus is on reaping, taking stock of action and its results. Everything is cause and effect. Can't ditch it. But you can live with it mindfully. #Lughnassadh #JohnBarleyCorn #Lammas #TheWheelTurns #Harvest

To know the field is to know life's ebb and flow. Each sunrise, a promise; each sunset, a fulfillment; each season, a tale. In the heart of a single grain, the universe unfolds. #JohnBarleycorn #wyrdwednesday #folklore #fields

I am the spirit of the grain, Birthed with the first sprouts and nurtured with every sunrise, I guide the plow and the scythe. I bear witness to your dance with the Earth, born anew with each turn of the furrows.
