Today is the Autumn equinox, where the day and the night is of equal length. I believe some people also refer to it as Mabon, Harvest or Herfest. This year, I like 'Autumn Equinox' myself.
As this posts (at exactly 6 hours 5 minutes after sunrise and before sunset) I shall be preparing to go toa friend's wedding where I am bridesmaid. The wedding is taking place tomorrow, and initially I thought that tomrorow was the quinox, which made me think what a perfect day it would be to get married. It's a day of balance and surely that's what a successful relationship should be about? As it is, the equinox is the day before the wedding, nut no matter. If we have to experience the dark, miserable days of winter I figure it's also pretty good to start the shortening days with a marriage ceremony to solidify the partnership and join you with someone who will supoprt you when it's cold, dank and wet oustide.
I came back from my week long holiday in France to find that the season had changed. It was unmistakably Autumn when I arrived in Kent. The leaves have turned and there was that cold snap in the air. I shall celebrate this turning of the season with a (vegetarian) minestrone soup on the 22nd, a pre wedding meal onteh 23rd, and my friend's wedding on the 24th. I love weddings and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get really soppy at this one.
Happy equinox everybody!
