0254hrs September 23rd 2018 is the Autumn Equinox for those of us in the Northern hemisphere. When length of light hours & dark hours draw towards #Equilux. The sun appears to pass the equator on it's journey in to the southern hemisphere at it's height. It means shorter hours of daylight as we head towards the winter solstice in December. For the next few weeks of the solar year, we will lose appx 4mins of daylight per day (in UK). Our ancestors would have been acutely aware of exactly what this event meant to their everyday lives. Prepare for longer, colder nights and look out for human celebrations such as Diwali, Halloween, American 'Thanksgiving' and Samhain, all of which are connected to the seasonal changes, harvest and winter moons.
All this leads up to the Winter solstice, wrapped up, for some, in the commercially obese spending fest that is called christmas. All the religious BS that has been piled on to this solar reality is distracting, divisive and irrational. No doubt, it is only a matter of time before the Xmas adverts begin, guilting you in to spending large amounts of hard earned cash on plastic tat that nobody really needs. The solar reality of our planetary seasons and the stupid myths attached to it by morons around the world. Nature and our place in it, celebrated.
