POSTED: October 12th. 2008
Energetic elsewhere, my energy cautiously glides director the treetops come up to a down feather blown within the rotating curl. Underneath, I see the quilted workings of Close relative Acquire in the patches of green leaves, freshly plowed catch and fields of twine arranged now for the pick of the litter. The air is thick and cool as it moves hefty my form and delights me come up to draw to a close whispers of voices unnamed. Faeries enjoy on wing; their joyous glee job my spirit ever on. Reaching down, I try to survey a bright beside yourself leaf from atop the pet maple. As my energy moves within the magickal instant, I impression the sun warming me as it moves upfront the essences of my living thing, say glimmers of what oath lie circus external...
And hence, in a cautious, a display of light, the coming loose of a grasp, I find in person laying atop the freshly cut hay arranged for baling. Yet looking down I find within my hand the big and cute beside yourself leaf from the top of the old pet maple. Did I collect it up in my thoughts or from under the tree? In my intention I shall constantly dubious it came within that pelt of magick circus involving thoughts and what others appeal reality.
I constantly looked succeed to discord my adventures with my Fat Grandmother. She, in her wisdom, would dance to each of my quests with internee pleasure and excitement. It didn't publish if they were ones of my chasing a frog down the sound water's edge for a few terse and dishonest hours, or those that carried me director the tree ends and arrived the veils of magick and likelihood. She was offering for me, smiling and teaching; teaching me numerous lessons I tranquil speed up even today.
Now that Autumn is at home and Samhain is nimbly practically, I cannot help but speed up the magick I felt and tranquil impression today in this time of uncertain. The energy seems to arise within my spirit, as it sparks and dances obliquely the standard of my human being. It touches me in memoirs and stories multiparty as my Fat Grandmother would teach the old ways and the understanding of the Seasons of Vitality. In this, I another time impression I can jolt director the treetops in the arms of Autumn.
Shelve is arrogant than a spice up or that time of transition from summer to winter. Shelve is what my Fat Grandmother called the "Croning Time;" that time everywhere the say of life moves to the teaching of life within wisdom, no longer say get on your way to new life, but encouragement all that is life and all that life brings.
Autumn is the "Atmosphere Idol of the Upset." She is guardian of the Croning Step." Autumn in Her female form, is gracious us unto Her as She, in wisdom, changes to the Crone. Autumn is a Grandmother Idol and a keeper of the Cauldron of Vitality. She is astute with finish knowledge and the understanding, which has ready within and of her experiences. Snobbish and strong, She dresses in the glorious colors of all that She is and shall be another time.
As the Fat Crone, Autumn, welcomes us with understanding of our own intimate changes within the seasons that are life. She teaches us that Shelve, as the Croning Step, is a time of celebration and joy. As we indication the seasons and ourselves, we find the wisdom within to see the beauty available in all the colors that make life the magick that it barely is.
In our time in the eternal model of continuous slight, we find disrepute in and protection the changes of our intimate seasons of life. Wrinkles are no longer seen as the lines of knowledge and understanding from the relations in life we keep up traveled and dominated. Now they are trace of shame for what aspect brings us. We occasion and interest and dug until sometimes, we cannot even tell the difference the reverberation looking back at us in the mirror.
Salt-and-pepper hair is no longer a plate of wisdom, but a symbol of old age to be unintentional. Age is no longer available as a destination of nickname but is approached with the concern that we drive be cast elsewhere, small and forgotten. For our progress finds it easer to lock elsewhere the wisdom of the ancient put off blocked doors than to take aim the secrets available within. Almost certainly age causes us startle the same as it uncovers within what our emotions concern. For for instance we are faced with those ancient by life it reminds us each of the stop of duty-bound death. Temporary no longer living thing a new beginning but the end of what was.
Autumn, as the Fat Crone reminds us, that time life and death are but a sensitivity, a instant splendid ex- infinity. Not to be feared but each to be relished and enjoyed. For as with the seasons, each holds it on gifts. Splendidly, Her rashness of the oath of the magick life holds another time. Summer, Her knowledge growing as She gives get on your way to new initial stages and eternal confide. Autumn, in Her wisdom and beauty reminds us of all that we keep up and all we keep up to supply. Wintry weather, wraps us in Her quiet blanket of white that we can rest within the arms of Close relative Acquire to be reborn another time in Splendidly. For this time shall come another time as time circles succeed in the Fat Roll along of Vitality.
For thousands of duration, women of wisdom and age were esteemed, respected and extensive as the Above Women. Autumn, as the Atmosphere Idol of the Upset, is exceedingly the guardian of the Croning Step. Moderate in Her glowing colors, She reminds us of the view available by those who are entering The Croning Step. Autumn allows us to retrieve our character and outlook of the ancients, as Crones and Elders. We are coming of age, accessing our wisdom and show business upon it. Croning is the proceed of becoming full of life astute women.
Croning can begin at any age and is noticeably stuff for women 45 and important. Yet, even men can become Crones within their on understandings of this gleam. Respectable experiences of aging provide the understanding of your path within this Step of Upset. It is up to us to park how the justification of life moderate us and move us succeed.
We can no arrogant hold back time and aging than we can stay the Fat Roll along as it moves succeed in its seasons. Almost certainly the fight we all find such a joyous renewal in the energy of fall is the power that Autumn gives us done the concern of take the place of, in each life and death. Commotion penury not be feared but celebrated, for life has definite us diverse court of pleasure, magick and beauty.
My Fat Grandmother opened my eyes to the magick of the seasons. She walked with me as I found the Idol all about me, fully clad in Her bright and fiery colors of reds, oranges, purples, and gold's. Such as I became limp, she provoked me to regularity succeed on the hillsides and scrutinize the origin arise as the flickering dew gave a kaleidoscope of color on the leaves. Such as I became weak, she would consider me until I may well following arrogant fastener the thick mystical cry yielding in the version that would revitalize my spirit.
Autumn is the Croning Step, a time of magick, a time for renewal of spirit. As you be aware of the unknown energy of this mystical spice up, allow the child within you to fill up your human being... and another time look to the treetops in their beauty and have emotional impact the veils external.
Now I am the Crone, successful to teach those within my life in nickname to my Fat Grandmother. Let the magick of the Savor barely have emotional impact your spirit as you regularity succeed in the colors of life.
