autumn equinox

this is the time of the autumn equinox

the sun stands poised over the half way of its apparent journey from its closeness to us at the summer solstice to its faraway pause and turning for our winter solstice

in this new quarter of our year, each succeeding nightfall is fractionally earlier than its predecessor ; each dawn fractionally later

darkness grows as daylight willingly diminishes

the velvet embrace of midnight dominates – midnight – the witching hour – thirteen weeks for the practising increase of our craft, the strengthening of our potent desires
