Tomorrow,  at 5:46 a.m EST, occurs the Fall Equinox, also known as: Alban Elfed, Autumn Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Cornucopia, Feast of Avilon, Festival of Dionysus, Harvest Home, Harvest Tide, Mabon, Night of the Hunter, Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Witch's Thanksgiving, and the first day of autumn.
Come autumn in the cemetery, berries and faeries duly abound…
For an extraordinarily balanced and comprehensive portrayal of Fall Equinox celebrations, scoot thither.
How are you going to celebrate?
I was asked that question recently, and…
I'd love to observe the equinox in grand style, make an effort to watch the sun both rise and set (weather permitting), lay out after sunset on the hood of my truck under a clear country sky, recite the names of the stars I know and invent new names for those I don't, write an ode to the subtle suzerainty of such a faintly luminous sky, then dream of the revealing and unraveling possible under the tender watch of a lover’s harvesting eyes.
