Sacred Days of Autumn Equinox

[Nemia]

One of the last things I did on AT was to participate in the Sacred Days of Midsummer readings. We had a spread for the twelve days around the summer solstice, and each day, each of us did a daily reading for the card of that day.

I find the idea wonderful, it was an unforgettable feeling of celebrating a signpost of the year with tarot.

I nearly finished the work on a spread for the sacred days around the autumn equinox. Would anyone be interested in such a group activity? I know we have already a lot of reading circles going on, and we're all busy.

But if I'm not alone with this, I'll post the dates (middle of September) and the spread (one card per day for twelve days). Then you can start thinking about the deck that is most suitable for the autumn equinox.

Let me know what you think!

I'd love these seasonal Sacred Days to turn into a tradition here, four times a year - for the two solstices and the two equinoxes. Personally, I feel very connected to these dates, and I'm not a real Pagan (rather some kind of Christian-rooted, Nature-fascinated Pantheist I guess).


Added later:

here is the spread! I added it so you don't have to hunt for it. Copy it into your post and just edit it every day. You can add pictures if you wish so - but you don't have to!

That's a great idea Nemia, it would be nice to do something . I'm not a real Pagan either but I remember the solstices and equinoxes as they're astronomically real, and my birthday is generally on the spring equinox.

I'm in too :)

[Nemia]

Great! I'm still working on the spread, great fun!!! If you have any ideas, just leave them here in the thread and I'll try to incorporate them!

I'd like to take part. I signed up to the Summer Spread on AT but got very behind very quickly. It was a bad time at work. I'm not Pagan but feel I can only benefit from tuning into seasons and cycles. Thanks Nemia, kind of you to organise this :)

Me too! I am a scientific (pagan) Naturalist. too lazy to do my own rituals except for a few. would never make a good witch or pagan.

I could be interested in doing something like this if there was a southern hemisphere version. I would like to participate in something like this but I would feel out of sync if I was doing something for autumn in the spring...

[Nemia]

Ah, it's great to have somebody from the Southern Hemisphere! I was just thinking that it would be wonderful to have Southerners doing the vernal equinoxe spread... which of course doesn't exist yet... but it will!

[theFeeLion]

I'm not sure how many of us southerners there are but I think it would be interesting to maybe have similar spread and see what correlations or overall themes there may be at the same time of year between the two hemispheres...?

[Nemia]

Yes. We might work at the spread together - here. I'll put up here what I have right now and we can change it and make it fit the Southern Hemisphere. That's really important to me - like the fact that I want Southern Hemisphere cards in astrological/astronomical decks. Had a discussion about that on AT with a North European user who was irritated to see constellations she'd never see in a deck. I'd be sad if there were not!
