The wheel of time has turned another notch as the Autumnal Equinox is now upon us. Has it really been a month since Lammas ? Hard to believe how fast time passes especially as you get older. Don't laugh young people, you'll see ! At this time of the year we are thankful for the bountiful harvest that we have received from great Mother Earth, Jord, and for the friends and family to share it with. We are thankful for our health and our careers that we have in what I believe is the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. (Even with all our problems) And of course we are thankful to our ancient Gods and Goddesses who have provided us with all we have.
Our joy is however tempered by the knowledge that the days are growing shorter and that there is now a chill in the air when Sol is done with her daily journey. The growing season is almost over and we now start to see the first signs of color in the leaves of the forests. This is also a time to slow down and reflect back on what has transpired this year so far. A time to acknowledge our mistakes, with just enough time to correct them, before the year ends. It is also a time to build on our accomplishments and dream of loftier goals to finish out the year.
The Gods that I specially thank, ( I thank them all of course), during the Autumnal Equinox, or Fall Eve Night, are not only Odin, Freyja and Thor, but also Freyr, Sif, Gefjon, and of course during all growing and harvesting seasons, Jord, Great Mother Earth.
Remember that the Gods and Goddesses are with us and a part of us always, and that our ancestors are watching us with great expectations. Make them proud of us !
