Today marks the first day of autumn, we can now officially say we are in the Fall. September 22nd marks the autumn equinox when day and night are virtually the same length.
I find this time really depressing as the days get shorter and colder we know we are in for a long wait before we can relax in the balmy days of summer. It is also a really busy time with the preparations for Harvest Festival, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all looming on the horizon.
This day is also the day when pagans celebrate Mabon also known as Harvest Home or Feast of the Ingathering, it is a time to celebrate the fruits of the easrth and share them amongst others in order to please the gods and godesses during the winter months.
