My Equinox

I absolutely love this time of year!  Autumn is by far my favorite season.  I love afternoon’s warmth, the smells on the breeze, and the Autumn Sunsets are magnificent.  I love the golden haze that cloaks the mountains.  The colours of the changing leaves on the trees. 

The Equinox is also one of my favorite Seasonal Celebrations.  The second Harvest Festival so we have an abundance of beautiful fruits and vegetables.   We are at the mid point of between the two Solstices where night and day are of equal hours.  Creating the perfect balance of Light and Dark.  Inviting us to go within and see what needs to be brought into balance within us.

Following the Seasons and honouring the journey is not just about celebrating the Festivals.  Honouring our bodies by eating the foods that are being harvested fresh.  Emotionally we need to go within to find what we need to let go of to help invite in more of what we want, so we can create the balance we need.  Spiritually, reconnect with the earth as the Wheel turns.

It is a bit like doing a stock take on ourselves.  We need to go through all the baggage and get rid of the excess “stuff” that is taking up much needed space to fill with more of what nurtures us and cares for us. 

Tonight, to honour the turning of the Wheel I will be cooking up a feast to share with the family and then watch the sunset before I go within and begin the process of shedding what is out of balance. 

However you choose to spend today, at least take a moment to connect with the earth and honour her for all of her abundance.
