Cross Quarter
07 Aug 2014, by theme inGreetings of the “Cross Quarter”!
We are half way between Solstice and Equinox!
It is a time to celebrate the Goddess and the gifts of the Earth.(Okay, it’s always time for that but this is one of those special times :))
In the North it is now half way between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. For some this is Lughnasadh or Lammas (the christianized version of Lugnasadh) which is now celebrated on August 1st or 2nd although the actual cross-quarter is today.
It is the time of early harvest, of bringing in the wheat, of making bread.
It is a is a time to express love and gratitude to earth for her abundance, and for sharing the knowledge gained
In the South it is now half way between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.
It is the time of the quickening, of new beginnings, of first appearance of new green. Imbolc, Brigid’s festival.
It is a time for refreshing for rededication to spirit.
Wherever you may be,
Fuel your heart fire
Pour water with love blessings
Breathe the air deeply
Give thanks to Earth beneath your feet
and, as always,
Nuture your Nature
WisdomWild
with Love and Light
