A reminder that here the autumn equinox is a week away, enjoy the turn of the seasons!
Harvest Home
Autumn Equinox, Harvest Home, Mabon, or simply
this wild season of winds and gathering for the days ahead,
this time of changing colours and low late summer sunlight,
this time of preparation, of clearing and sorting, of equal day and night.
Breathe in this deepening light, the summer work is done,
the winter's tasks ahead, dance, sing, feast and play,
reflect on all that's past and plan your winter crafts
treasure the Harvest Moon, tend the home fires, honour the Green Man
The Wheel turns on with wisedom, healing and rest.
As some of you will be aware, I became "blog mistress" last Samhain and Sally has proved a hard act to follow! If any contributors would be interested in taking on this interesting task for the next Celtic Year it would be great to hear from you! e-mail me at celticyeartwo@btinternet.com also I'd be very interested to hear your views about the blog, whether we should continue into year 3, how it could develop, oh and, of course, to send your contributions. These could be photos, crafts, painting, writing, music, videos.....don't worry about the Celtic connection - it is worldwide and in our very bones.
Greens, browns, reds, orange and yellows!

Yes please continue it Lindsey! Sorry I've been a bit absent - have had a very busy year - would like to start contributing. Have been harvesting plums, apples, blackberries the last couple of weeks, thanking the dear earth for what she offers! X
lovely, beautiful colourful fruits! I'm hoping the sweetcorn will still ripen - getting cold up here - it has been a short growing season this year. Are you planning any dying with the blackberries?
