The Witches Wheel - Mabon. September 21-23. Technically, an equinox is an astronomical point and, due to the fact that the earth wobbles on its axis slightly , the date may vary by a few days depending on the year.

Enjoy this spooky twist on "mulled" apple cider for Halloween. Apples are studded with whole cloves, which float at the top of this spiced beverage that also includes orange zest and cinnamon sticks. When the weather becomes bone-chillingly breezy, this hot and haunted sip is sure to warm you up.

Candle, candle, burning bright, Fill us with your holy light. May the flame of joy and love Glow now in our hearts. ...No need for many words or explanations today. How would you describe a day such as Candlemas to a very young child? You don't. They make of it what they will. They gaze into candlelight.. They take it all in. The evolution of an earthen candle... Dig a small, deep hole... Fill with melted beeswax or parafin Watch it bubble and sizzle... ...And eventually calm down:) Place a…

It looks like we're not going anywhere...and that's fine with me! I have big plans for today, at home! Candlemas celebrates the beginning of the lengthening of the days, which…

Yesterday afternoon I sent the kids outside to enjoy our beautiful weather while I prepared a special lunch for Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I had hoped that we would be able to go to town to attend Mass and have our candles blessed, but it just wasn't possible this year. Anyhow, here is what was included in this year's Candlemas Tea Luncheon, inspired once again by Alice at Cottage Blessings, which we enjoyed after…

Lou Lou Pulford celebrates the ancient festival of light that marks the midpoint of winter. Candlemas began as the ‘feast of lights’ and marks the halfway point between the shortest day and the Spring Equinox. It was a time for celebrating the life-giving power of the sun as it began to gain in strength after the long, dark, cold months of winter.

Learn to make 4 different types of candles to celebrate Candlemas, the halfway point between Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Great projects to do with children.
