During this time, the first grain harvest would be underway, and likely would be celebrated with beer, and a feast prepared from the season’s first bounty. The attested name Bendfeorm literally means “binding feast”, and stems from the binding of corn stalks after mowing. This would be an excellent time to give thanks to Beowa, the Grain Spirit, for the bounty that we or others on our behalf, are gathering in during the waning days of Summer.
