Message in Coins

Posted by on in Paths Blogs

One time during the time period when I was learning how to follow the Goddess Diet to honor the goddess Sif, I was preparing for a potluck, and I went to the grocery store. I saw some corn on the cob. I thought, “That would be great to bbq. But I don't know whether it's GMO or not.”

Then I remembered that the GMO corn is a yellow corn. If the corn is some other color then it's not GMO. So I checked it and it was white corn, so I bought some. At the checkout, I was thinking, "I really hope I'm right and that I did this right for Sif."

The answer appeared in my hand: two coins, one bearing the image of grain and the other a female face. Grain goddess approved!

The coins were a US wheat penny and an Australian coin. I put them in my Spiritual Souvenir wall shrine.

    I've come across Canadian pennies before; though I understand they've stopped making them, but I've never come across an Australian one before.

    I've never personally looked at coins before but it's truly amazing how the universe provides insight everywhere.
