I also spent a bit of time learning about Dożynki- a Slavic harvest festival that used to align with the autumn equinox. As Poland is a largely Catholic country now, many traditional pagan celebrations have, unfortauntely, faded away over the years. But it’s still fun to learn about them! :open_book:

To finish off the night of the Equinox, I had a long gratitude meditation in front of my Mabon Altar :sunflower:. I mediated until the candles burned out, and then went to bed full of graitutde and excitement for the new season to come :candle:

As the sun wanes and the darkness of winter approaches, may your magick continue to bring you light and warmth from within :sun_with_face:

Many autumn blessings to you all! :heart:
