Autumnal Equinox, celebrating Ojibiwa Indian style.

Fall Equinox, also known as Mabon, occurs in the middle of September.
This year it is September 22nd. Tomorrow!

A beautiful way to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox is to decorate your door, mantel or a table top. Colors are Orange, Dark Red, Yellow, Indigo, and Brown. It is the festival of thanksgiving. The time of harvest. The Ojibiwa celebrate Thanksgiving twice a year. During the Spring, when the maple sap runs, melting away the winter. Also in the fall, during harvest time.

Select the best of each vegetable, herb, fruit, nut, and other food you have harvested or purchased and give it back to Mother Earth with prayers of thanksgiving. I love finding new ways to honor my family's heritage. Let the celebrating begin!


Hang dried ears of corn around your home in appreciation of the harvest season.

Blessed Autumn Everyone!
