21st
-At Mabon (March 20-23rd), the God has died. The Earth has received His body and given up the last of the harvest. Leaves are falling from the trees and the Earth is preparing for the long, cold winter without the light of the Sun. The God has died and the Goddess, growing old and becoming the Crone, mourns His loss. The Earth has received His body and given up the last of the harvest - He has sacrificed Himself, giving His energy to the Earth, so that we may enjoy the fruits of the harvest. Leaves are falling from the trees and the Earth is preparing for the long, cold winter without the light of the Sun.
It is Ostara in the southern hemisphere. Sometimes I make themed candles, but I'll always be doing some gardening! It's time to start seedlings for summer veggies like tomatoes, capsicum and eggplant!
