An Autumnal Festival

Greetings to you all!
Slowly the wheel of the seasons does turn, reflected in the repetitions
of our lives, changing from the glorious growth of summer to the reaping
fall, where our dreams and work are realized, are harvested. The autumn
is the dusk of the seasons, the beauty of all that has happened thus far
is expressed as slowly the plants die and go to sleep within the earth.
Shades of orange and yellow paint the forest, much as a day's life
paint's the sky in the sunset. As the harvest matures, so we seek to
mature ourselves in our autumns.
I welcome everyone to join myself and others in the celebration of
Autumn, set to proceed at sunset on the 12th of Lanosian, 142 MA in the
Autumn Chamber, located within the Benandanti Complex in Eleusis.
A ritual to reflect upon nature's beauty and gifts will be followed by a
feast, by songs, and by anything you all wish to bring to help spread
the joy of the season.
I hope you are all able to join me in honour of this beautiful season.
