Hear us, Ceres, Mother of the Grain, You whose breath stirs the seed in the ground, Though Earth sleeps now in her bed of stone, We ask for her blessing on these seeds Which will soon be sowed. These are our hopes, our dreams, Our aspirations, all promise and possibilities, Waiting dry and dormant to be awoken. Though we will not wake them today, Soon the time will approach when they shall Come into the embrace of the warm soil And blossom into manifestation. Bless our seeds, Great Ceres, Mother of the Corn, Spark of the Plowed Earth, Bless their promise, and ours as well.
(All cry, "Hail Ceres!" Then all surround the seeds and hold their hands over them, and together sing Ohm and Ah in harmonies, to carry Ceres' blessing. The seeds are then placed in a special basket shaped like a cradle, and covered with a cloth, and sung to.)

The film is a deeply character-driven genre piece. The horror thriller addresses women’s issues, and features a captivating performance byAlex Reid ( The Descent, BBC’s Misfits).

She is a bellwether: a quiet leader who is well on her way to being her whole self. When they kidnap her to break her, to make her conform, they discover that Joanne is something so much more than even she ever knew. The Conspiracy locks Joanne in a 13th-century chapel and she communicates with her ‘operator‘ only through text and images shown on television. In order to break her, they work on her hidden pain, the fact that she had an abortion four years ago. After standing up to the mental torture, the Conspiracy goes even farther; impregnating her and trying to force her to have the baby. At the moment when she is about to give in, she will either break, or everything will change, for herself and for the Conspiracy.”
Genre and BBC favorite Alex Reid is portraying Joanne. A star of the modern horror classic ‘The Descent’ as well as TV’s ‘The Misfits’ Ms. Reid brings a grounded reality to all of her roles. We are honored to have her as the first actress in English to play the lead in a solo female led film and she creates a tour-de-force performance as Joanne Steiger,” said Morrison.
