1st November Pagan New Year
Spells and rituals, gathering and collecting, light to dark.
The first day of November signals doom and gloom to some and energy and light to others. It depends on your perspective. Down under it signals the summer approaching while up over it means dark cold days and long long nights.
Physiologically we cannot help being affected by our climate. It’s a given. What we can control though is our psychological responses by overriding our systems programme. The pagan festival of New Year gives us some food for thought, quite literally. While focusing on the harvest, the quality of our winter is about the quality of our thoughts and actions in the six months or so leading up to it. Preparing fertile soil, planting and watering, weeding and pruning. And then the harvest. Celebrating the fruits of our labour, moving from the light into the dark. Cutting our crop back to the core, trimming our ego to reflect and refocus.
We follow a calendar of a time to sow, a time to reap, a time to rest and recover. Just like a seasoned athlete we take time out. Take stock to revise our programme for living and come back in the spring stronger, faster and more resilient. This ability to bounce back and up regulate being likened to ‘a wounded oyster, he mends his shell with pearl’ physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
