Autumn Equinox, 2002

Pictures from the 2002 Autumnal Equinox Ritual.

We began to circle into ourselves. As a walking meditation, we spiraled into our community center.

This Maypole has been used by CTC since 1999(?) and year after year we have sheathed it in ribbons. There are many layers of color on the pole. Beltaine 2003 marked its last use, as it had rotted at the base. That year we notice that birds had built a nest in the top and were raising young. During the Mabon Ritual, they flew in and out. A beautiful blessing.
