Mon 10th October '2022' - Canadian 'Thanksgiving'. Thanks be to nature.

The second Monday of October (10th -2022) in Canada is Canadian Thanksgiving', their fixed celebration of seasons, harvest and plenty. Based on ancient, pagan, seasonal celebrations, now, high-jacked for religious / political gains, it wasn't always a fixed date.(1879). For millennia, early peoples would have been aware that the summer growing season was over and their journey in to winter was beginning and food stores would have to last

22nd September 2020. Autumn Equinox. The solar reality. #AutumnEquinox Heading into Winter.

1430hrs (UK) on Tuesday 22nd September 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 DiwaliHalloween, American 'Thanksgiving' and Samhain, all of which are connected to the seasonal changes, harvest and winter moons.
