Harvest Home | | September 21 - Autumnal Equinox - Harvest Home In many mythologies, this is the day the Sun God, the God of Light, is killed by his rival and dark twin, the God of Darkness - who was born at Midsummer, reached puberty at Lammas, and lives a mirror-image life of the Sun God. From this mid-Autumn day forward, darkness will be greater than light, just as night becomes longer than day. So it is a festival of sacrifice, including that of the Sun God in his aspect of Spirit of the Fields, John Barleycorn - for this is the final grain harvest. The Christian religion adopted it as 'Michaelmas', celebrated on the alternative date September 25, the old equinox date (Old Harvest Home). (The Welsh word 'Mabon', meaning 'son', is used by some Witches for the name of this holiday, although such usage is recent and not attested historically.) | | | Spiritual, Spirituality, Spiritual Practices, Spiritual Traditions, Beliefs, Religions, Body Mind Soul, Body, Mind Spirit, Halloween, Paganism, Pagan, Mysticism, Religious Traditions, Traditions, Spiritual Rituals, , Witchcraft Belief, Witchcraft Beliefs, Witchcraft Practice, Witchcraft Practices, Witchcraft Philosophy, Witchcraft Worship, Wicca Belief, Wicca Beliefs, Wicca Practice, Wicca Practices, Wicca Philosophy, Wicca Worship, Witchcraft Ritual, Witchcraft Rituals, Witchcraft Ceremony, Witchcraft Ceremonies, Witchcraft Rite, Witchcraft Rites, Wicca Ritual, Wicca Rituals, Wicca Ceremony, Wicca Ceremonies, Wicca Rite, Wicca Rites, Celts, Celtic, Celts, Celtic, Wicca, Wiccan, Witch, Witchcraft, Facts about Wicca, Fact about Wicca, Information on Wicca, Article on Wicca, Articles on Wicca, Wicca Mythology, Wicca History, Wicca Teachings, Wicca Practice, Wicca Practices, Wicca Philosophy, Info on Wicca, Wicca Religion, Wicca Belief, Wicca Beliefs, Facts about Wiccan, Fact about Wiccan, Information on Wiccan, Article on Wiccan, Articles on Wiccan, Wicca Wiccan, Wiccan History, Wiccan Teachings, Wiccan Practice, Wiccan Practices, Wiccan Philosophy, Info on Wiccan, Wiccan Religion, Wiccan Belief, Wiccan Beliefs, Facts about Witchcraft, Fact about Witchcraft, Information on Witchcraft, Article on Witchcraft, Articles on Witchcraft, Witchcraft Witchcraft, Witchcraft History, Witchcraft Teachings, Witchcraft Practice, Witchcraft Practices, Witchcraft Philosophy, Info on Witchcraft, Witchcraft Religion, Witchcraft Belief, Witchcraft Beliefs, Wiccan Holidays, Wicca Holidays, Witchcraft Holidays, Pagan Holidays | | |
