| Autumn Equinox 21st September The Autumn Equinox is a ritual thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth as the harvest is finally completed. As the night and day are equal in length, we make an offering to the Goddess and Gods and prepare our spirits for the decline of the sun and the winter months ahead of us by embracing the dark half of the year. "I am a stag:of seven tines, I am a flood:across a plain, I am a wind:on a deep lake, I am a tear:the Sun lets fall, I am a hawk:above the cliff, I am a thorn:beneath the nail, I am a wonder:among flowers, I am a wizard:who but I Sets the cool head aflame with smoke?"
