Happy Autumnal Equinox! I hope you have a season filled with bonfires, spices, and chilly nights ripe with mystery. Like what seemed to be every other human being on Earth, Autumn is my favorite season of all followed by winter. It's no wonder that my ancestors chose this time to begin their year. There's just something so promising about Autumn. There's more hope in Autumn, to me, than Spring. There's a busy energy in Autumn that isn't overwhelming; the last preparations are made by all of nature to ensure a comfortable Winter season. Winter offers a time of darkness for soul work, rest, and reflection. Spring and Summer, with their hustle and bustle of new life and sizzling heat are nice, but give me a year with nothing but Fall and Winter anytime.
Don't forget to catch a falling leaf today for good health and good luck in the coming months. I'm a big lover of old wive's tales, and this is one that I never let pass me by. I always take the leaves I have caught (one for me, one for my cat) and press them in my diary. So far, we've had wonderful health, other than a few sniffles here or there. It seems to be working, and it's just fun to do. What are your Autumn traditions? What is this season bringing to you?
