Find your Carousel Horse @ Time’s Tin Cup !
The Cornucopia Horn is associated with Thanksgiving and harvest seasons. We see the Cornucopia as a Horn overflowing with flowers, fruits, nuts and grains.
The National Calendar says June 27th is Summersgiving. I believe it is too hot to roast a turkey; so let’s have a look at a nice cool Cornucopia.
The Cornucopia actually has roots in Greek Mythology. In the legends, the Cornucopia began as a magical animal’s horn! The Horn of Plenty, was originally broken off the head of an enchanted she-goat by the Greek God Zeus when he was an infant.
The infant Zeus was hidden away from his father, the titan Cronos, in a cave on the Isle of Crete. The infant, Zeus, was cared for by Amalthea, a naiad or she-goat.
While baby Zeus was suckling at the teat of Amalthea, he grabbed and broke off her horn. The broken horn poured forth a never ending supply of nourishment.
This is why the horn of plenty, Cornucopia, became the symbol of nourishment.
