The Almanac

The first stirring of spring. Light returning, seeds and beginnings, the hearth of Brigid.

The spring equinox. Balance, renewal, eggs and hares, the green world waking.

The height of spring. Fire, fertility, union, the flowering of desire and life.

The summer solstice. The longest day, the sun at full strength, abundance and joy.

The first harvest. Grain and bread, skill and effort rewarded, the turn toward autumn.

The autumn equinox. The second harvest, gratitude, balance, and gathering in.

The witches new year. The veil at its thinnest, the ancestors honoured, the dark welcomed.

The winter solstice. The longest night, the rebirth of the sun, rest and quiet hope.
