Autumnal Equinox

(Sun enters Libra) “Mother Earth lies dormant; life and light recede, the days are short and everything in nature is resting after cleansing by the elements, of the autumn equinox.” “In ancient ceremonies, the autumn equinox was especially linked with the forces of the air; the greater angels of the air were called upon, their purpose to cleanse and purify the earth after the harvest has been gathered, and in preparation for the next sowing. The fruits of mother Earth were gathered in, and it was the time of thanksgiving to the Great Mother, the motherhood of all life.” from White Eagle On The Great Spirit
