Wiccan Studies lesson 11 (comments)
I believe that the John Barleycorn figure is associated with Lammas, not Mabon. As Lammas is the grain harvest (and Lammas comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word for "loaves") this makes sense: the grain deity is sacrificed so that we may live (very ancient imagery of a deity sacrificed for the people -- obvious influence on Christian imagery).
