Autumn Equinox

What is it about the Fall that brings me so much joy? Everything! The first cold front has come to Texas! Divine timing, indeed! I'm kicking the season off with my cinnamon coffee topped with a pumpkin spice creamer. Previous fall posts over the years should be reviewed, if you are looking for ideas to ring in Mabon and the Autumn Equinox (see below). I'll be bringing out my fall decorations this evening as well as setting up my Fall Alter. Think orange and purple lights, gourds & pumpkins, candles, and harvested herbs that I have been picking and drying for the last month. This is an offering if you will. 

Named after the Celtic God in Welsh mythology, Mabon is celebrated by pagans and others that choose to recognize the The Wheel of the Year. Not only is it a celebration but it is a time of rest. I feel this energy strong. I am tired of the heat and the bright cheeriness of summer. I'm ready for a slumber if you will but also ready to party with bon fires, cozy sweaters and boots! I love boots. You really can't wear boots in Texas until the temps are lower that the heat of the sun. Speaking of sweaters, while in the closet pulling out your fall gear, why not do a lil fall cleaning. I clean out my drawers and closets at this time of year to make space to breath and grow. I start making space for my outdoor plants that are not quite ready to come in. I have made multiple macramé plant hangers this last weekend anticipating the move and very conscience of the lack of space on the floor. Constantly evolving and ascending, we are. 

I'm presently a curious baker and plan to make some apple cake this weekend. However, that could change. It all depends on what I find at the farmers market. Truly the best time to go to one as the bounty is always a delight. Happy Fall yall.
