Autumn in the Wind

I love this time of year.

I was walking to school yesterday with my ipod on my awesome new CD of Pagan Bluegrass. That's right you heard me Pagan Bluegrass, and by the gods it's awesome check it out.

And I couldn't help but smile as this wave of happiness just lapped upon me. The sky was clear and that crisp cornflower blue that only seems to appear in the fall. The wind had the first chills tickling at your skin and I was able to wear a sweater and walk without oppression. The sunlight just seems particularly clearer in the fall, change is on the wind, and I just get excited!

Made me want to go up to the mountains where the leaves are turning their amazing colors and the scent of smoke wafts through the air of fireplaces being lit. Fall is the start of so many things I love so, Halloween, yummy soul warming food and drink, X-mas, it's just a warm exciting time to me.

Fall just exudes magic to me, I can almost see the Wild Hunt on the winds blustering around, you can just hear drums in the distance.

It's funny, Rabbit told me at our meeting that she felt I was an autumn/spring type of person, I was little taken by that, I'd never given it much thought really. But as usual I think she hit the nail on the head lol, summer can get sooo stressful and drawn, the sun can just soak all your energy out of you. And while winter has many wonderous sites, it can stick around too long and freezing all the active thoughts. For me I feel truly energized in autumn and spring.

So what's on the agenda this fall?

Today I think I'll clean and do some home warding, it seems like the right time to do so. I have an idea of using runes on the top of my front of my door, been having some issues with the neighbors and I'd rather not have their energy seeping into the house I worked soooo hard to rid of negativity.

This weekend I will be working on my Samhain outfit, along with others and their various projects.

I hope to have the house decorated for Halloween, we bought this really awesome skull fogger and I just want to continue farther and have the whole house jazzed up like my mom use to do.

Bake, Cook, and Eat! Lots of tasty tasty food. lol

Start X-mas shopping/construction, I have a very good idea of what I want to make for my mother and I want it to be made well magically and otherwise so I need to get kicking on that.

And I'd like to go camping before it get too cold.

So there a nice respectable list of things all well within the realms of possibility.

Go outside and enjoy the magic!
