My salutation is belated, because I just found this community. Seems a little sleepy here, but maybe we can get some conversation going. I’m a solitary practitioner and would enjoy a bit of company.

I’d love to hear what the Equinoxes mean to you in your faith system and how you express it. I don’t personally ascribe to nameable form of paganism, but my personal practice is largely nature-based and draws a lot of principles from modern druidry and Buddhist philosophy.

I’ve seen through my reading that often the equinoxes are recognized and honored to a lesser degree then the solstice’s, but for me they are very special, because I feel like I can see them in nature more strongly; they are times of change. In the spring equinox it’s a joy to watch the natural world reawaken from its winter slumber, but the autumnal equinox fills me with feelings of nostalgia, of a summer cycle completed, a time of rest and coziness, warm fire, reflection, and optimism. But, it’s also the beginning of a time of hardship, of death, and of perseverance after which we will welcome and cherish the warm breeze of spring, and the cycle continues.

No idea if anyone will reply, or even ever see this. But whether this is seen by hundreds or just you, I send you my love and wish you a very happy autumnal equinox!
