In her thought-provoking article for Awakened Souls Magazine, Wendy Stokes delves into the spiritual significance of autumn and the profound transitions that occur as we move from the vibrant energy of summer into the introspective time of the year.
She highlights the unique importance of November in the old Celtic calendar, where this month marks the beginning of the New Year. Wendy explains that, according to ancient traditions, the day itself begins at nightfall, symbolizing a time of new beginnings. Just as the seed’s life begins in the dark soil, so too does the cycle of the year restart, offering a moment to reflect and plant new intentions.
Wendy further explores the lunar phases, noting how the moon mirrors the essence of this transition. She describes the moon’s journey from darkness to light, beginning as a crescent in the early days of the month, and growing in brightness until it reaches fullness on the 15th. This powerful symbolism reminds us of the continuous cycles of growth and renewal, as well as the transformative energy that guides us through the darker months.
In addition to the celestial insights, Wendy’s article delves into the spiritual significance of the autumn season. She reflects on how this time of harvest encourages reflection, gratitude, and spiritual rejuvenation. As we gather the fruits of our labor, Wendy also speaks of the Saints who accompany us during this time, offering their wisdom, protection, and guidance during the harvest season. Their energies provide a source of comfort and strength as we prepare for the inward journey of winter.
