THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX

Sunday, September 22, 2024, is a day of exquisite transition as we bid farewell to summer's warmth and welcome the cool embrace of autumn. As temperatures drop and leaves fall, sacred plants and medicine flowers slow down, and we witness the beauty of nature's seasonal change.

At 8:44 a.m. Eastern daylight time (5:44 a.m. Pacific daylight time), a unique astronomical event unfolds. Autumn begins in the Northern Hemisphere, while spring blossoms in the Southern. This global synchrony, where the sun shines directly overhead, marks the start of the new season, connecting us all. 

The term' equinox' during this time refers to when day and night are almost equal, from sunrise to sunset, lasting just over 12 hours.

Soon, it will be quite time.
