Autumn Equinox

Welcome to the last of the solar cycle festivals in Ireland.

In the modern world we usually assume that the day begins with dawn and ends with dusk, with sunrise and sunset.

However for the ancestors we know that they believed that night preceded the day and they started the timing of their twenty four hour day at twilight and night time.

A carry over from that tradition is still with us every time we celebrate things like Christmas Eve, Halloween or Hallowed Eve, Mid Summer Eve or St. John's Eve. Similarly they believed that the year was born out of the darkness of winter hence Samhain was their New Year, allowing a gestation time in the darkness before the birth into the light.

That makes Autumn (Lughnasadh) Equinox the end of the celebratory year.

Around the world people continue the harvest celebrations of Lughnasadh. The first grains, wheat, barley and oats, are mostly gathered in and tree and bush fruits ripen. So many plants are now grown in lands they are not native to, such as the potato and maize, that the harvest has become more prolonged and productive. In Africa they celebrate the grain and yam crops, in Alaska salmon and berries and in Italy the grapes are abundant.

Autumn equinox, a time when the days and nights move into balance. A time to take a deep breath before we bid a final farewell to summer and dive into the darkness of winter. At Equinox we move away from the summer's freewheeling dominant emotional and physical energies, towards the mental and spiritual realms supported by the study and introspection of winter.

It is a time for considering the polarities in life such as; light and dark, poverty and abundance, living and dying, lofty ideals and grounding reality. Even the trees, who all summer moved sap up into the leaves, change, and start to pump it down into their roots.

From now on we will be depending on the reserves we have been nurturing and give up that which no longer serves. This is enacted in nature by the apple who must say farewell to the security of the tree.

The apple falls and decays in order to release the vital seed. If we similarly do not die to that which no longer serves we too may become stagnated.

Nature has many different mechanisms for surviving the coming winter. Some birds, such as swallows, fly away to Africa and warmer climates, whilst geese and others fly in from the Arctic regarding the Irish winter as quite balmy. Frogs will find a pleasant dwelling in a cosy wall or muddy pond. Some creatures will go into a pupa stage and others roll up in leaves and hibernate if it gets really cold.

In the high northern latitudes the night skies fill with the aurora borealis, the Northern Lights. Geomagnetic storms occur more frequently in this season and the skies light up with beautiful curtains of weaving colours.

With the Sun in Libra, Moon in Leo with Chiron rising, Day and Night are of equal length, but from this point onward Night shall have the upper hand. The dark nights will get longer than the daylight hours. The temperature will get colder and plants will start to die back, though give a grand finale of deep autumnal colours. Of course those in the Southern Hemisphere have summer to look forward to.

It is also a time of year when we are conscious of the travails of harvest and the work that people do to bring foods, goods and services to fruition. So many hands are planting, cropping, transporting and developing the resources we need to survive during the lean of winter.

Jam and preserves are filling the cupboards. Laden branches of purple/black elderberry remind us to make cordials and tonics to stave off winter colds and chills. Favoured by the Little People, they are

the home of the fairies. Blackberries will bring an extra flavour to winter apple pies, if you can get to them before the wasps do.

The bright red berries of the rosehip, hawthorn and rowan are eagerly scavenged by the birds, who also need to stock up on winter reserves. And they give back to the tree by dispersing the seeds in order that new ones may grow.

On the woodland floors, in grassy spaces and meadows, mushrooms appear, often overnight, fruiting bodies rising from their underground matrix. Of course we are all aware that some are deadly poisonous, the food of the devil, whilst others bring an earthy taste to many a warming dish. There are over six thousand different varieties of fungi in Ireland so take care if you are going to collect them. It is best left to the experts.

Misty autumnal mornings and warm evenings bring an increase in insects as they devour the abundance of leaves, sappy growth and nectar on the wild fuchsia hedgerows and river banks. Often moth larvae and birds feast together on the blackthorn, enjoying the bitter sloes. We prefer it in our gin. Spiders, hoverflies, butterflies, craneflies and biting midges gather amongst the bushes and herbs. Yet the swarms of insects are a rich feed for many species of bird during the day and at dusk bats swoop down, revelling in the ample supply.

Remembering: This is a time for recall, reflection, remembering. A time when we pause to consider, in the light of mature recollection, how we have invested our time and energy; family, projects, relationships, social activities, education and improvements. It is a time to harvest that which has been productive for us and a time to remove the shuck from the kernel truth of our experiences. It gives us time to reconsider where we are investing energy and where we are going, especially since we are heading into lean and challenging times. Everything that is false will be challenged to pass away . It is a time for testing what we are made from, gathering the great delights of our soul and being grateful for all that we have experienced over the last twelve months. What are you keeping to nourish you through the winter?

Stocktaking: Autumn is a time for stock taking, reviewing and checking the store cupboards. What is left over? What have we not used during the year? What is 'past it's sell by date' that we can get rid of to make space for the fresh harvest goodies that will see us through the coming winter scarcity? It is time to release the old and return it to earth, adding to the compost heap if we have one. The store cupboards must be cleansed in preparation for restocking. Just as we tidy the store cupboards so we clear our own lives. We consider what represents the chaff in our own lives. What are you discarding?

Chrysalis: At our meal, prior to a planning meditation, we were delighted to have a delicious chocolate cake, made in the shape of a caterpillar. And this inspired us to think about how, just as the caterpillar has eaten through the abundance and lush plants of summer and now creates a cocoon to live in, until it is time to transform into a butterfly, so in our lives this is the season when we close the door to the outer world and prepare to go inwards.

As we move from autumn towards samhain and winter, we are going into the enclosed phase of our lives

The Sickle of Autumnal harvest cutting the corn Waxing, waning new and full moons Healing hands and the creative/healing space inside Look deeply and you will also see 2 hands holding a heart It's also 2 hands beating a drum 2 hands holding the sun, moon, earth, the atom, a flower blossom 7. 2 intersecting Vesica Pisces door way to the sacred 8. The open eye 9. Balance

8: The symbol that arose spontaneously based on the idea of 8, upper worlds being mirrored on earth, and 8 spokes of the year. Combining these concepts brought out; sun, closing the sun flower, rotary blades of a combine harvester, balance between day and night, sun rising and setting opposite each other on the horizon, yin and yang, 8 celebrations of the year, moon cycle, at least 12 sickles, eyes open, eyes closed, amongst other things.

The Vesica Piscis also formed the basis for this centre:

Archangel Michael: 29th September is the feast day of St Michael and All Angels. Tradition tells us that Michael fought Lucifer, aka Satan, on behalf of God, who cast the latter out of heaven. Subsequently Michael came to be the protector of all human beings from the works of the Devil and his fallen angels. As an Archangel he is a servant and messenger of God usually depicted in art dressed in armour with a lance and shield. Often Michael is shown weighing souls or killing a dragon or devil.

Michaelmas traditions of paying rents, hiring and firing employees, and eating goose, were probably introduced to Ireland by the Anglo Normans in the 12th century. More ancient festivities are probably reflected in farming activities such as harvesting apples, and the time when the fishing season ends and hunting begins.

Finbarr: Patron saint of Cork, Finbarr (fair-headed) feast/pattern day is 25th September. As with many other saints there are several with the same name, which leads to much confusion. Legend relates that he was born about 560AD at Achaid Duborcon in the Garannes area. His father, Amergin, was a blacksmith from Connaught and his mother either a slave girl or the daughter of a chieftain depending which source you are reading. After time living in Scotland and a pilgrimage to Rome, he returned home to establish hermitages in the local area. In the mix of pagan and Christian folklore it is related that he was led by an angel from the source of the river Lee, at Gougane Barra, to its estuary. There he founded a monastery on a hill, which was to develop into a respected school of learning and establishment of Cork city. At the lake of Gougane Barra he banished the great serpent LĂş, and in fleeing across the countryside the monster cut through a channel which is now the river Lee. There is a similar monster (Mata) related to the River Boyne.

The Gearagh on the River Lee, Cork: Formed in the rich alluvium deposited after the last Ice Age, the wooded area, standing in a complex network of water channels which weave through a group of islands, is a sanctuary for overwintering wildfowl.

A dam, downstream, built during the construction of a hydro-electric power station led to the drowning of most of an ancient oak forest. Today the surreal stumps of the trees form monstrous shapes, fuelling our imaginations rather than our hearths.

It is an eerie place and most suitable as the hideaway of Sean-Rua-na-Goire, Ireland's own Robin Hood.

Nemnach, Tara:

It is said that the first mill in Ireland was set up to relieve the women the task of grinding corn in the hand quern, a dished stone in which the corn was crushed by rolling another stone over it, similar to a large pestle and mortar.

Cormac, High King of Tara, saw a Pictish hostage, Kiernit, at the labour and realised this was arduous toil.

The people of Alba (probably Scotland) already had mills and Cormac sent for their engineers to construct the mill at Tara. They chose a spring and stream named the Pearly One – Nemnach.

Liminal space: The space between – from the Latin 'limen' – 'threshold'. The boundary and also meeting place between two established states of being where everything is suspended, being neither one thing or the other.

There is a commonality between the two states of being, but there are also differences, just as we are all human beings, some are men and some are women.

At the estuary the fresh water of the river merges with the salt water of the sea. Within the liminal space there is often a temporary existence, such as the tidal zone of a beach, changed with every transition of the tide.

Thus the liminal space provides an opportunity for freedom to change and there is often a waymarker, such as a boundary stone or a step, a change of level.

At Mornington, shown below, a sand bar lies hidden under the waters requiring regular dredging.

In this liminal Equinox time between summer and winter the northern and southern hemisphere's energies are an interplay of opposites, unsure of when the tipping point will arrive to take us into longest or shortest days.

As always what plays out on the planet, the macrocosm, reflects in our microcosmic personal lives.

We see-saw between the two extremes in a precarious existence, living on the edge, trying to find the constant behind the chaos, the eternal balance. Disorientated, people often feel uncomfortable and are forced inwards, depending on inner strengths, to find harmony.

There is often uncertainty in our situation and most of the time all we can do is slowly move our position, hoping that all will attain equilibrium again, finding the calm centre, the Divine, the Tao, the 5th direction.

Mornington Beach: A favourite liminal space... where St Patrick is said to have landed before journeying to Slane and Tara...

The Festival Proclaimed: I proclaim the festival of Autumn Equinox. We stand at a pivotal centre in the turning of the seasons. We stand at the threshold looking towards the extreme of Winter Solstice. Tonight each one of us shall pass over this threshold as we enter the dark half of the year.

I proclaim the equilibrium of day and night. Just as the wheel of the year is the annual timekeeper, so the cycle of the day marks the sun and moon's journey across the sky. This time of Equinox corresponds to the evening of the year. This is the time of sunset; the time of gathering, of drawing in, of celebrating the riches of the second harvest, and of preparing for the night and for the winter yet to come.

I proclaim the counterbalance of summer and winter. The outer world gives forth its bounty, the grain is cut and threshed. And as the growing season ends and the seeds fall and sink into the dark earth to be nourished until the spring, so we give thanks for the riches of earth and the riches of our own lives.

I proclaim the centre betwixt abundance of light and want of it. Balance lasts but a moment, for from this time on, darkness overcomes light. Night's shadow gains in strength and exceeds the length of daylight for a full half year until we reach the time of equinox again.

Labyrinth Walk: Whenever you wish to release you need to maintain the balance of energies by welcoming other energies into your life.... give and take.

The labyrinth walk leads us to a turning point, a centre, symbolic of this exchange.

The labyrinth walk is one path leading you inwards, from the outer world to the centre. You return, facing the outer world again. Unlike a maze which is designed to get you lost, a labyrinth helps you find yourself.

Consider first the intentions for your walk. On one occasion ours linked to the connections of heart and soul. At the labyrinth we go to the centre, to heart and soul.

We seek balance, explained by our inner strength (heart aspect) and inner guidance (soul aspect) whilst being aware of our outer life and how we influence, and are influenced by, our surroundings.

We did not want to put too much

guidance for people as we think each one had their individual need to walk the labyrinth. The following may just give an insight and nspiration for your walk: The wisdom quest is realized by pursuing a white doe to a wild apple tree - there were apples at the centre of the labyrinth.

For every beauty, somewhere there is an eye to see it.

For every truth, somewhere there is an ear to hear it.

For every love, somewhere there is a heart to receive it. Ivan Panin.

Speak to us our hearts, our love, for we are in all creation, in the timelessness of eternity, as much as we are within ourselves and within all beings, within earth, on earth and in the universal forever.

Release or retain: When we harvest the food from our gardens we end the growth and ripening, and complete the time spent caring for the crop's well being. We now take time to re-member or to re-collect scattered memories from our past so that we may “live and journey here”. This is why you may like to prepare by calling in the direction or energy of “Time”. Gathering rosemary, mint and montbretia and having those close by will enhance energies for cleansing and remembering.

You might like to prepare by considering: What has supported and sustained you physically during the year. eg. Home, food item.

What has brought joy to your heart, to your emotions, during the year. eg, a loved one, human or otherwise.

What has inspired your thoughts and ideas this year. eg. Piece of writing, course of study.

What has energised you spiritually, fired you up, this year. eg. Meditation, peaceful landscapes.

Make two lists – one of what you wish to release, of that which no longer serves your life path, the other list being what you wish to retain and take into the next cycle.

Two items are also needed – a bowl in which to burn what you are releasing, what is not needed, and treasure chest to store for the winter what you want to retain. The latter might be a pretty box or maybe a scrapbook.

Three days after the Full Moon the energy of the waning moon gains momentum, being strongest up to the seventh day. In these periods the dispersal and releases can be at their strongest. If you have anything that you find difficult to release it would be good to use these periods to place and act out your intentions.

You can return to your treasure chest during the winter and remind yourself of what you valued enough to retain. There will be a chance to review in the Springtime. During this time of withdrawal over the coming months it is good to add to your Treasure Chest as this is a dynamic process. Adding favourite recipes, using food to encourage and support this is a great idea.

Five breaths of the seasons: Consider the position of the sun at noon through the annual cycle. Notice that the winter solstice sun stays low, the equinox sun rises higher and then the summer solstice sun is high and full above us in the sky. Equate the low winter sun to a short breath, the equinox is a longer breath, and the longest deepest breath corresponds to the full energy of the high summer sun.

As you do this you will realise that the breath actually reaches different levels in your torso. The first short breath, mentally represented by the low winter sun, is shallow and probably only reaches the upper part of the lungs. The next deeper breath seems to approach the heart area, whereas the full deep breath, represented by the brimming summer sun fills the lungs and the belly expands. Rhythm with the breath: shallow – deep – deepest – deep – shallow – deep – deepest – deep shallow, etc... you might find this quite a difficult rhythm to sustain...

You can visualise drawing in the sun as the energy grows stronger and fuller to summer solstice, and then releasing the sun to lower energy as you drop down to the shallow level.

Conkers:

This time of the year presents us with obstacles so we represent that by playing a conker tournament.

The horst chestnut trees are heavy with their fruit, conkers, and many of us remember as children playing the traditional game. We would collect the shiny brown fruits fallen under the tree and there was always someone with a pointed tool that would drill a hole and a piece of string in someones pocket to threead them. Some competitive ones would 'cheat' and put them in an oven to harden, but most of us were happy to just take turns striking each other's conker until one broke.

Conkers were threaded for a knock out match. The conqueror of the conker game wins the ultimate prize - the golden conker.

Our personal chrysalis: The word chrysalis has its origin in the Greek chrysos meaning gold. Thus there is a gold theme that arises at this time of year.

We stood in a hula hoop, delineating our own space. Then we wrapped up in colourful scarves, just as the caterpillar wraps up in a cocoon and prepares to mutate into a butterfly.

Pushing nurturing energy deep underground: A simple anti-clockwise circle dance at every third step stopping and moving the hands downwards, visualising pushing the energy of summer deep underground. Continue for as long as feels 'right'. End by touching the earth with love.

Thanking and blessing the land: A blessing and thanks might also be appropriate. Pouring water from a holy well onto the ground, bringing together the elements of earth and water, is always a good way to focus on the land.

Dream Bag: We created dream bags actively harvesting from the outer world in order that we could dream on the inner world. Small pouches were filled with items we were intuitively drawn to. The bag could be tucked under the pillow at night, asking for more information in dream-time.

Grounding the last cycle: We marked our journey through the Year as a group, drawing on the sand for each Tara Celebration a picture or symbol that we are acknowledging and releasing to the universe.

On another occasion we marked the end of the cycle by creating a chain, each link being one of this cycle's celebrations.

Back to Our Rootes: Black candle surrounded with salt to send negativity back to its source and a white candle surrounded with sugar to encourage the flow of peace and harmony. Mulberry Roots (do not bud until all danger of frost is past, symbolises patience. When they do produce buds, it happens quickly symbolising the wisdom to know when to react and respond to circumstances.

To begin, settle into a comfortable meditative position. Calm your body and your mind by focusing on your breath, gradually lengthening the inhales and exhales.

Focus on the base of your spine, and imagine roots extending from this base, deep into the earth.

Allow the image to fill out as a single root branches into many.

Appreciate the complexity of your roots, the vastness of the network tethering you to, and making you one, with the Earth.

Imagine your roots intertwining with everyone else. You can distinguish your own roots from those of other people and even your own relatives. But you recognise that you are supporting and being supported by their presence near to you.

Set the intention to receive via your roots the information that is correct and good for you at this time, then allow the experience to unfold.

Maintain gentle awareness of the root network, and allow any thoughts and sensations to arise. You might see images, hear words, have thoughts pop into your head, seemingly out of nowhere. Allow the information to flow into you.

Take three deep breaths. Sit for a moment in peace. Reconnect to your roots, and know that you are whole, complete and revitalised.

Give thanks as feels appropriate to you, and return your awareness to the here and now.

Centering into your Balance Point: Stand - rock back and forth from heel to toe – feel yourself centering as if a cord or pole connected you to the ground and into the endless blue above.

Feel that sacred marriage within you, initiated by the ancestral traditions and legends of the Goddess and the King, marriage of opposites, left and right, earth and sky, male and female.

The Churn: The seasonal food celebration after the toil of harvest. The churn or churn dance is the community party when the harvest is in and everyone can relax. Churn is also used as the name for the harvest supper when everyone shares in the abundance of food and festivities go late into the night.

Apples: Eating an apple you connect to what created it and what it provides. Appreciating all that went into an apple you relish the fruit as a whole, the beautiful end result. Liken yourself to that apple, realise that you are the outcome of what you take in. You appreciate yourself and all that has created you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Apple Pie: Every Irish Mammy has her apple pie recipe, and it is beloved by all the family. Passed down through the generations, there are secrets never to be told of extra flavourings and ingredients. One might involve the addition of mashed potato to the pastry, or the use of cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg, sour-cream, and then, of course, there is often a bottle of something stronger than water in the cupboard... alcohol... Do you slice or chop the apples? Do you have custard, cream or ice-cream? So many variations. And all delicious.

Theme – Mists Descending Autumn. We are told of a gentle season of mists and mellow fruitfulness by the poets, yet the all-enveloping fog that descends at autumn may dampen and obscure everything. The horizon is hidden, sometimes we can barely see our near surroundings. Yet we have memory and know that the familiar trees, hills and safe harbours are just out of sight, still there behind the veil. The mists do sometimes lift to reveal them again. But only for a while, before closing in, covering all in white sheets of discomfort.

As we arrive at the end of the annual cycle, so in our own lives, slowly, irrevocably, the mists draw over us.

There are days when we feel the cold of our own eventual, inevitable, winter. But in this time of Equinox we have a balance. We sit in the middle of the seesaw of time, the past stretching out on one side, the future on the other. Sometimes our memories are in a fog of forgetfulness, often our optimism for what lies ahead is shrouded in an inability to see anything worthwhile and tangible.

Recall the Spring Equinox. We stood amongst colourful primroses, bright daffodils and nesting birds preparing to raise their young. As if at the starting blocks, we stood one foot raised, ready to race into the joys and pleasures of summer. We looked underfoot and saw the ground where we stood as beautiful. Thus, in this balance time, we may do the same again.

The Spring energies invited an exploration outside ourselves. Yet, the more we travelled we realised that we took ourselves with us wherever we journeyed. The great opportunities were always where we were. In the abundance of summer we came to cherish our own place and time and treasure that, realising that we are always at the centre.

At the Autumn Equinox we can realise, as we did in the Spring of our lives, that we are present, wherever our feet touch the ground.

Place - A Harbour

At the margin, where sea meets land, we sit on the quayside and consider the vista. The ships, ferries, sailing vessels and rowing boats ply their business, the comings and goings, the events of the day unfold and we relate them to the current state and possible changes in our lives. Passengers on island boats arrive and depart.

Mentally we write our notes, reminders, reviewing what has been omitted and what needs removing, what would be good to bring into or remove for ourselves.

Gulls swoop and dive around fishing boats as they land their day's catch, to be taken to local markets, restaurants, or home for supper. Sitting at the fulcrum of our world we assemble our own harvest, considering what we can share with others and what we will retain for our own nourishment.

Equinox provides us with a short stay haven, between summer and winter. We may watch the flow of the tides for a day or two, take in the activities around us, take in the stillness around us. We draw inspiration from our review of where we are in life, from the creative centre of our existence, looking at the plusses and minusses, looking at the extremes of high and low,

Time – Dusk The transition time between light and dark, a fine balance, recalling the Equinox.

Centre – A centre provides us with a focus for the ceremony and often becomes a temporary altar, and can as simple as a basket of apples, with, maybe, Brigid as goddess of the land, joining in.

Cardinal Directions North – From our point of balance at the centre we welcome the energies of winter, hidden activity, preparations and planning, wisdom of times passed and to come, short days and long dark nights.

East – From our point of balance at the centre we welcome the energies of spring, revealing what has been hidden, rising sun, new day, fresh beginnings.

South – From our point of balance at the centre we welcome the energies of summer, revel in abundance and exuberant flowering, noon sun, long days and short nights.

West – From our point of balance at the centre we welcome the energies of autumn, harvesting what we have sown and nurtured, beautiful colourful sunsets, golden oranges and yellows of foliage and glorious blacks and reds of berries, reviewing and storing our assets for the future to enjoy.

Centre – Wthin our point of balance at the centre we connect to the energies of source, of creativity, of all that is.

Elements Earth – Grounded on solidity, supported by solidity, nurtured by solidity, the physical realms of solidity.

Fire – Dancing in the light, freedom of the light, warmed by the light, the mental realms alight.

Air – Travelling with the flow, frenzied by the flow, breathing in the flow, the spiritual realms dreaming flow.

Water – Swimming through the ocean, riding on the fluid surf, drinking in the nectar, the emotional realms reflecting the moon.

Purple heathers, draped in cobwebs, a sure sign of autumn.

Activity - Gathering Moon The harvest moon, large, brightening the dying days of summer, lighting the heavens in a golden glow, draws our attention.

Shining onto all beings in the world, it draws us together as we look upwards.

Friends, relatives, those far off or nearby, all are enveloped in its glory, and remember each other.

This is a time for joining together, in person, at a distance, our work of the year done.

Moon Dream Send out a message to the beautiful harvest moon, a wish, a prayer, a blessing.

Then turn to your bed and maybe, in your dreams, you will discover a reply.

Dark Creativity At Equinox we are aware of moving into the dark days of winter. Yet nature reveals that darkness is not death, it is rebirth. For those seeds planted now will be nurtured and grow in the long dark night. Within the earth seedlings and within the belly the child, with no light, to be born traditionally at Solstice or maybe at Bealtaine, maturing out of sight, without the light. Life is present in this dark underworld, active and creative. Close your eyes, and get active and creative inwardly, for this can be one path to enlightenment.

You may like to find a guided visualisation that will enhance your life, or maybe sit and enjoy whatever arises, creating a space where inspiration can surface to inform your consciousness, or you may clear your mind of all thoughts, allowing them to arise and then float away just as the clouds appear and disappear.

Dual Aspects Much of life is fulfilling, but there are often areas where day to day experience is deemed as unfulfilling.

We love to pay attention to the positive category, the more satisfying tasks and projects, and push the others to the back of our minds. Unfortunately this does not remove them altogether and they will appear again, thus ignoring something is not a good long term strategy. Eventually you will have to deal with the rest of it. The sun shines but the rain also falls, and within that duality we aim for balance.

At this time we can work through this duality by alternating our attentions. Spread our energy around. Use this equinox as a chance to review the fulfilling and not fulfilling parts of your life. There may be positives on both sides that you might not be seeing right now.

Open Heart

Thanking, blessing and closing the connections We close the circle to the apparent world, thank and bless our connections to all guides, guardians, beings, times and realms made during this ceremonial. ‘Sin é’, that's it.
