The Autumn Equinox
Just as at the Spring Equinox, light and dark are now regarded as being in balance. But this festival has a very different feel to it. Now is a time of fruition, the harvest being gathered in and just as this has happened in a physical sense, so too does this happen to ourselves. Just as our ancestors would have gathered in their crops in preparation for the darker days of the coming winter, now is a time of preparation for ourselves with maybe some introspection and reflection upon what we hope to achieve in our lives.
This time of year is very important as with the sense of winding down comes perhaps the opportunity to look inside ourselves and 'know thyself'.
