Autumn Rules

For the past couple of weeks I have felt the full force of the season in all it's glory. Just listening to the wind in the trees and seeing all the breathtaking colors as our leafy friends prepare for their Winter sleep moves me in ways words are simply inadequate to describe. I have let go of the last of any warm days and set my face forward as the Cailleach reaches out with Her cold embrace. The Crone is dark and wise and offers this time to reflect and mend as She continues to stir Her sacred cauldron. And as She stirs, we let our dross float to the surface to be skimmed away and cast aside...allowing our focus, intent, and actions to become purer, clearer, and stronger. We await the long rest in Her womb as the days grow shorter and the nights lengthen knowing that once again the Sun will rise to warm us at Winter's end.

Blessed Be
