*To ensure the next year’s successful harvest, Belgian hop farmers paraded then burned effigies of the Hopduvel (a personification of a storm that could destroy unharvested hop fields), while **Celtic Pagans wove decorative shapes from the last sheaves of grain for the crop’s spirit to inhabit over the winter, before being plowed into the field come Spring.
