Today is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox
A day of equal light and dark
A Harvest Moon
The first time in 20 years that the first day of Autumn has occurred on the same day as a full moon
Lets us not forget that this year was also guided in by a blue moon
This is a year for looking upwards
To greet the sky
Feel the wind on our cheeks
The rain kiss the lids of our eyes
The stars twinkle with joy
Embrace these precious moments
To mark this special occasion I entered into a Mabon Swap with the ethereal 'Faerwillow'
My gifts arrived, lovingly packaged with hand crafted items
Filling me with Excitement
Photographs of nature, a paper doll, tissue leaves, hand made tags
A clay leaf, and the softest woolen cowl
I feel blessed!
Look how at home they feel on my alter!
Thank you Faerwillow x
Feeling energised by the magic of the equinox, I set out to a gathering of new friends where we created a medicine wheel out of rocks and stones.
My new friends wish to heal the earth, and those that walk it. The acts of creation, ceremony, and ritualistic drumming were invigorating.
And, because life is for living, and some things should just 'be experienced' I did not stop to take pictures. All I can show you of this occasion is a picture of a tepee in which we all sat, shared food, and supped oak leaf wine.
