This is a new monthly post, that celebrates the month we find ourselves in, exploring its seasonal essence, wisdom as well as highlighting a particular plant or tree and recipes to go with them.
September comes and the slow darkening creeps in, the coolness settles into the air and begins to touch our bones.
The bird song has softened and mellowed, many birds have left for warmer climates and the songs of fertility, mating and sunshine are no longer filling the forest. The crows voice, the robins babbling brook and the wood pigeons coo seems to fill the sky now. The sun is lower and although still present its energy has changed.
The spider webs, enhanced by the sun being lower, glow and glisten in the morning, revealing their beauty.
The solar energy is declining and the pull to be outward, upward, growing and achieving is gently waning. The earths energy is being pulled, leading the land and the wild ones to fall softly into dark matter, towards the roots and the inner worlds.
As beings of nature, greatly effected by the earths cycles, seasons and visual invitations, we find ourselves, our energy and our spirit being quietly pulled to descend into our own inner realms. To come in, to soften, to quieten and to listen.
