Mythology

Good fortune, Prosperity, Fertility

Corn comes from the Americas, where it was deified and revered as the basis for life. Without one reliable grain to sustain a people there could be no civilization, no time for anything other than subsistence. Early Mesoamericans personified corn a gracious, glorious woman; she is the giver and the gift. And in fact the ancient Mayans believed that human beings were created from corn. When we wear the corn charm we are reminded to be filled with gratitude for our daily food, for the fertile earth, for this good life. Corn can be ground into tortillas, popped as a communal matinee snack, and distilled into potent liquor. For these delicious things we are eternally grateful.

Testimonials

I’ve been making pierogi with my mom since I was little. My job was always sealing them because my mom could never get them as neat as I could. The recipe we use is from my great-grandmother, taught to my grandmother when she married my grandfather and then taught to my mom and then to me. I bought the pierogi necklace because making pierogi makes me feel closer to my family.

I love pasta and wanted to incorporate it into my wedding. My bridesmaids (who I call my ’noodles’) made me a crown of dried pasta for my bachelorette party. I gifted them each a different pasta necklace. I wore the lasagna necklace, because my husband makes it for me every year on my birthday. Pasta is my love language.
