22 Sep
To those of you, my dear readers who are in the Northern Hemisphere, I wish you a blessed Mabon. The Autumnal Equinox is a traditional time for acknowledging the passing of the seasons from Summer to Autumn.
Mabon is a harvest festival, and is often celebrated as such with a feast. As the first day of fall, it is often celebrated by Pagans and non-pagans alike. Follow the link above to learn more about the Pagan festival of Mabon.
For everyone else, here’s an article from USA Today on the first day of fall. Enjoy the changing of the seasons. Fall colors will arrive soon, and the trees will show us their glorious autumnal colors. The air will soon begin to cool, and we can pull out our warmer clothes and our woolen gloves.
Lest I forget my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, a blessed Ostara to you. Have a wonderful day celebrating your Spring Equinox.
The journey continues.
