Here's the #Spectra link to the #AutumnEquinox short video
After the Equinox we enter the #TimeOfSpirits leading into #winter when we honour, remember, spend time with loved ones no longer with us physically.

Autumn Equinox Apjumības: an Altar to Bounty, Colour, Remembrance of Loss and a Twin God

  I mentioned in my previous post that Autumn Equinox is a significant time for me. Firstly, the season itself- living in a northerly climat...

Another view from the drive- I took multiple shots of dark animals contrasting with the white/silver background- with varying success... this wasn't the crispest contrast, but a nice mood...

It's been beautiful out for days in various ways- colours, light, weather- as the seasons shift. Today was extra crazy beautiful- with our first really noticeable #snow of the year (late!), #fog #sun #cloud These shots are just from the car on a morning trip into town for some errands that are hard to get done on work days; there were tons of beautiful images from the rest of the day at home and in the bush too! #Alberta #winter #TimeOfSpirits #October #GoOutsideForMe #landscape #photography
Blessed Autumn Equinox to all Northerners, Spring Equinox to Southern friends!
Weather is uncertain today- seems sunny and warmer than forecast, but supposed to be showers... I'm going to try to go out and work on an altar for the Equinox and #remembrance of my Mother's passing-.. we'll see if I get rained out- if so, tomorrow looks promising.

Traditionally, winter begins mid-point btwn Autumn Equinox/Winter Solstice so we're right on schedule! #AutumnSpirits like #LapuMate (#Latvian Leaf Mother) have given way to #WinterSpirits like #SniegaMate (Snow Mother) and the #TimeOfSpirits- as with #Samhain and #AllHallows, the time when the barrier between living and dead thins, draws to a close. #animist #pagan #heathen
