Set her on your altar or by the hearth as a keeper of the harvest and a guardian of the home through the long nights. Some like to give her a small offering of thanks, a pinch of grain, a berry, or a whispered wish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chest of curiosities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54893187105114,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/0324\/6170\/files\/91333C54-906B-4A50-8653-27C3FEA1EC55.jpg?v=1790869042","url":"https:\/\/chestofcuriosities.co.uk\/products\/samhain-corn-husk-doll","provider":"Chest of curiosities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
