How to Celebrate the Fall Equinox
Many of us harken the time of fall with a heart of gladness and a breath of fresh air. The air seems to be more playful and mischievous than usual. The leaves begin to turn (in some places more brilliantly than others) and fall to earth, the nights become longer, the days are shorter. Depending on where you live, the temperatures may drop a bit. It is a time of gatherings, bonfires, food, stories, and magic. Each season has its own magical qualities to it. Fall brings a heightened awareness of mortality, cycles, other realms, ancestry, and traditions.
