VII. AUTUMN EQUINOX (C. SEPT 21) A. HISTORY “The two Equinoxes are, as we have pointed out, times of equilibrium. Day and night are matched, and the tide of the year flows steadily. But while the Spring Equinox manifests the equilibrium of an athlete poised for action, the Autumn Equinox's theme is that of rest after labor. The Sun is about to enter the sign of Libra, the Balance. In the Stations of the Goddess, the Spring Equinox represents Initiation; the Autumn Equinox, Repose. The harvest has been gathered in, both grain and fruit, yet the Sun- though mellower and less fierce than he was- is still with us. With symbolic aptness, there is still a week to go before Michaelmas, the festival of Michael/Lucifer, Archangel of Fire and Light, at which we must begin to say au revoir to his splendor." (WBC p.116) Unlike Lughnasadh, which marked the time of beginning to gather the harvest and emphasized the sacrifice aspect of the God, Autumn Equinox marks the c...

This is one of those versatile "serve for several occasions" recipes. Zuchinni for Lammas, Apple for Mabon, and Carrot-n-Pineapple for Samhain. I substitute a full cup of Spenda for Baking for the sugar in the recipe. I like my quick breads sweet, but you're welcome to use the correct substitution amounts on the package first to see how you like it.

The Equinox Cleaning Is this like spring cleaning? Yes. Spring cleaning was a necessity in historical times when the house remained closed up all winter, gathering soot and smoke from the fireplace as well as the accumulated mess made when people are cooped up inside for long periods of time. That being said, we all need to do a thorough cleaning now and then. I recommend doing so at the equinoxes. In fall, we’re getting ready to shut our homes up for the winter and the holidays. Friends will visit, parties will be thrown, and of course we all want to show our homes off to the best advantage. In spring, we’re driven to open our homes to the warm spring breezes. However, let’s be honest. Very few of us have the time to strip our rooms completely one by one, washing anything that holds still for it. However, a few things can be done in a very short period of time. First things first! Take down the curtains, carpets, and throws. Dump them in the washer and/or load them in the car for a tr...

See? Told you that applesauce you made probably wouldn't survive until Halloween. Here's another good use for it. If you don't know how to make cream cheese frosting, here's a LINK.

I repeat this incense every year because it's the best I've found. Note this is the type where you mix a powder, then sprinkle on a briquette. No, I don't mean one of those toxic charcoal briquettes you use on the grill. Here's a LINK to the correct type. Scroll down, you'll see them. Look in the links section of this blog and buy your herbs and oils from reputable shops. If you want to burn chemical powders and sniff them, there's a dealer in the red light district. You want the good natural stuff, you pay for it. Why a powder instead of just buying already made? Same reason as above --no chemicals you have to worry about. I don't see the point of loading the air with more chemicals than necessary. The idea here is to cleanse the air and perfume it, not pollute it. While you're at it today, say a little prayer and light a little incense for those lost in the 9/11 Tragedy.

Flaking Jello is easy. Just make the Jello and let it firm up. Use a fork and run it up and down the Jello to create small flakes. Get out your aggressions. It's fun and easy. For me, I use fresh or frozen peaches to cut down on the carbs, and serve with Cool Whip Free. I can't resist ice cream, so we don't have it around here much. LOL! Any way you have it, this dish is a delight when Indian Summer Days strike.

While too "expensive" for me on a low carb diet, I try to be fair to those who don't have to watch every crumb they put in their mouth. Save this little treat for Sunday mornings or Sabbats. To me, this is a great "cake" for Cakes and Ale. Served with a hot mulled apple cider, it's perfect for a fall treat.

Ooops! This scan came out just a little off-kilter, but hopefully you can read it. This is a fall-flavored treat that isn't anymore "expensive" calorically than eating regular applesauce. Serve this as an after school snack, and you'll be the neighborhood home they all come to visit. The other parents will love you for serving a nutritious snack disguised as something tasty, too.

Applesauce Popsicles! Really! Make homemade applesauce, then pour the juice in popsicle makers. Cool! http://mealplanning mommies.blogspot .com/2009/ 05/homemade- frozen-pops. html

Now this takes applesauce to a whole new level of delicious, wouldn't you say? Applesauce itself (if homemade) is about 112 calories and 29 carbs for a 1/2 cup serving. You can reduce the carbs by using Splenda for 1/2 of the sugar. The recipe below will not add any real calories or carbs if you use sugar-free Jell-O.

Posted by Selena. Boy, these brought back some memories. I can remember buttering my hands and shaping those balls, then wrapping them in wax paper to give away on Halloween. I loved it. Between popcorn balls and candy apples, Little Lena was in heaven!   By Paual Deen This takes me back to my childhood and middle school. Any time there was a birthday or a holiday, someone would bring these in. *Sigh* Making them on the hand...stupid syrup is sooo damn sticky!

From Dawn Roberto--   The HARVEST MOON rises on September 4!   The Harvest Moon is the moon that is nearest the autumnal equinox. The full moons of September, October and November as seen from the northern hemisphere—which correspond to the full moons of March, April and May as seen from the southern hemisphere—are well known in the folklore of the sky. In general the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, as it moves in orbit around Earth. The Harvest Moon is special, because around the time of this full moon, the time difference between moonrise on successive evenings is shorter than usual. The moon rises about 30 minutes later, from one night to the next, around the full Harvest Moon. Thus there is no long period of darkness between sunset and moonrise. In times past this feature helped farmers who were working to bring in their crops. They could continue working by moonlight even after the sun had set. About once every four years it occurs in October (in...

I know, you can't read them like this. Click on them until they come up larger, then save them. Gotta save space. The big part you need to know is that you don't need an expensive machine to do this. Your oven is a fine fruit dryer. Set on low and following the instructions below, you can have dried fruit this winter without all those nasty preservatives. Pay attention to the parts I highlighted. I'll bet you didn't know all that sticky syrup that comes off the fruit during the process can be brushed back on the fruit for extra flavor. See what you learn hanging around with me? LOL!

Note with both of these that you do not *have* to use canning equipment. You may simply freeze your goodies. My batches rarely survive the ten months for apple butter, and eight for the applesauce. Heck, I'm lucky if the applesauce survives until Halloween. I've said it before, and I repeat: Share the costs of canning equipment with a friend or three. This is a wonderful opportunity to get Mom and/or Grandma in the kitchen to share her secrets for canning, and should not be missed. Dear friends sharing space and canning equipment means dividing the workload and the results of your work. If you're good with the applesauce and your best friend makes fantastic pickles, and another makes a salsa to die for, you all get the products of these talents by sharing equipment.

Make sure you take a peek at the variation at the bottom. Apple Raisin Bran Muffins! At 182 calories and 26 carbs, these are an indulgence for those on a low-carb diet.
