Seasonal rituals & wisdom for the earth year.

where everything around me seemed to stop and I tumbled down into a place within myself of the deepest, most profound truth. I knew, without words, exactly what I was supposed to do next.

Autumn is a glorious season. The leaves are changing on the trees into a riotous explosion of color, squirrels frantically bury seeds, the smell of damp earth rises up from the land and the nights gain coolness day by day and mornings are often fog filled and drowsy.
We seem to feel the primal call within our bones. We gather for ritual celebrations, whether they are modern versions such as afternoon football games, and pumpkin patch adventures or celebrations that harken to a more ancient beat of the drum such as Halloween gatherings or lighting backyard fire pits and telling stories.  You are invited....
To take a journey into the magic of the summer season. There is so much abundance and such a joyful proliferation of all our favorite plants this time of year. Our gardens are overflowing with vegetables and the flowers are blooming and the bees abound, drunk on all that nectar. There is something special in the air, something not quite tangible. Midsummer invites us to frolic and play. I have a special gift for you, my folklore and fern friends.

I hope to see you there! And please feel free to share this with any friends or family that might be interested as well! Summer blessings, Lark Fox  The delicious smell of lilac is in the air and afternoon thunderstorms rumble through the land leaving trails of bright green across the hills.
The days are longer and baby birds are purring in their nests waiting for momma bird and worm. Everything feels fresh and new and possible. Couples are getting married to the backdrop of purple irises and bright pink peonies and the gorgeous warmth of the sun calls us out of our weathered skins and onto trails, mountains and lakes. Mother nature asks us to linger awhile, to get reacquainted with one another. We seem to wake up inside, to this primeval certainty of early summer. We have made it through the dark, cold months and it is time to celebrate. With roots in old pagan fertility rites, May wine is part of the ancient magic that calls us outward. |
