Yes I have been terribly neglectful of all web projects for about a month. I have been spending time in meditation and on some at home projects to rejuvenate myself so that I could be more effective in my day to day life. Today is the first day of Autumn and the Fall Equinox (Mabon).
Fall Equinox, also known as Mabon, occurs in the middle of September. It is the main harvest festival of the Wiccan calendar and marks the beginning of Autumn. The Goddess manifests in Her Bountiful Mother aspects. The God emerges as the Corn King and Harvest Lord. Colors are Orange, Dark Red, Yellow, Indigo, and Brown. It is the festival of thanksgiving.
Select the best of each vegetable, herb, fruit, nut, and other food you have harvested or purchased and give it back to Mother Earth with prayers of thanksgiving. Hang dried ears of corn around your home in appreciation of the harvest season. Do meditations and chanting as you store away food for the Winter. Do a thanksgiving circle, offering thanks as you face each direction — for home, finances, and physical health (North); for gifts of knowledge (East); for accomplishments in career and hobbies (South); for relationships (West); and for spiritual insights and messages (Center).
My ritual is set for later this evening and I am happily embracing the change of season this year. I am ready for something different. I have been feeling quite stagnant lately, so it is time to move forward before the stagnancy of winter takes over.
Mark my words.. I am back and ready to spread my wings of corruption. Come my dear… into a whole new world of possibilities
