The Autumn Equinox is upon us
here in the Southern Hemisphere. After a long hot summer and drought we have
been blessed with an abundance of rain.
We are excited about our
first harvest season in our new home, despite having fought against tough
elements, such as unusually large hail, a hot, long dry drought, an infestation
of Shaffer beetles and lastly certain vermin feasting in our veggie garden, we
find ourselves with a very small harvest to be picking indeed. However we are
grateful to the Goddess for what we do have. There are fewer things more
rewarding than being able to pick your own home grown produce and being able to
create meals for your family from that, or at the very least a damn good herbal
tea!
I wish you and yours an
abundant and prosperous harvest season. For our friends in the North, I hope
your Spring equinox is filled with blessings for the year to come.
This
week’s reading is coming from the The Green Witch Tarot
What
a perfect card to draw for the season, the card represents the Goddess Demeter.
Here in the Southern hemisphere Demeter is going into mourning as she releases
Persephone to Hades in the underworld for the winter months (and in the north
she is welcoming her back).
The
Earth Mother is watching over us and blessing us with her abundance during the
harvest season. It is a time of patience and nurturing, not just from the
Goddess but these are traits we need to share with each other too. Show more
understanding with each other during tough times, and work on watching your
temper, try not to be too fast to anger before looking at all aspects of a
situation.
