SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox 2021
DESCRIPTION:Our Autumn Equinox is a rite of balance and the second harvest as Autumn gets into full swing with the Earth growing colder. \nOur beautiful summer weather has begun to turn\, and winter is on its way. When Kore was abducted by Hades\, Her mother Demeter allowed all plant life to wither and die\, just as our winter is a time of quiet and death. \nBut this is also a story of rebirth\, and the great cycle of life. \nWe will not be holding a public rite for the Equinox this year\, thanks to Covid-19\, but you may watch a video of this ritual on YouTube at: \nhttps://youtu.be/wxa4Uurcbis \nBlessings\,\nRev. Kirk Thomas

Kirk has performed a Lughnasadh Ritual for the camera and it is available to be seen at https://youtu.be/HPUlyjKt4XQ. Happy Lughnasadh\, everyone\, and may we all be well and happy! \nThis is the rite of the Sovereignty of Lugh Samildanach.
