The leaves in Scotland are already starting to turn. A crisp is in the air.
A crisp that feels familiar.
Comforting, with a touch of uncertainty.
As the Wheel of the Year turns, I am consistently baffled at the concept of time.
Wasn’t it just the Spring Equinox? The day I stepped on a plane with a one-way ticket?
As this day has been approaching, I’ve been leaning into a space of reflection and assessment, considering the concept of balance.
Where do I feel it? Where is it lacking?
Nature displays balance to us all the time.
Today it is represented in equal light and darkness.
How do we orient to balance?
Can we sit in it or are we already dreading the darker days ahead? Are we grasping for the light that is already behind us?
Can we sit and observe all that has transpired since we emerged from darkness 6 months ago?
Can we fully reap what we’ve sown?
On this ancient and sacred day of celebration, I’d love to leave you with these questions:
What are you harvesting and storing for the winter?
What seeds are you planting?
How will you tend to the soil over the coming months? The soil you are physically on and the internal soil of your foundation?
What variations of light have you experienced from the sun’s peak and how can you bring it down and into the body?
Let me know how this equinox is meeting you.
& If you have specific intentions, please do let me know. I will light a candle for you and help envision your dreams.
If you’d like to come and share your thoughts with us live, join the group of women gathering in our women’s circle on Sunday. We will be playing in the equinox/new moon energies.
What a time to gather.
More details are listed below.
Sending you all my love,
Lisa Marie xx

Lisa, you may or may not remember how I 'hear' the name and intention of every season. (Once upon a time, I hosted an active, gentle and kind site dedicated to such, along with the myths accompanying each season.) Exploring the seasons within all the possibilities of its name intention has been both fun and enriching.
Anyway, just want to pass along that we are entering into the Autumnal Equinox/Season of Healing. Oh my...talk about possibilities!?!😄
