Autumn Equinox, September 23, 2010

It's officially Autumn!  
And with the equinox, celebrations of harvest begin and general fall festival fun start taking place in schools, churches and communities all over the world in this beautiful season of September!

The Equinox also marks the Mabon festival, which is the 2nd of 3 harvest festivals in the  Pagan "Wheel of the year" and is also time for "balance" and "reflection".


This mabon tote has an illustration of a grape vine wreath with three groups of three hazelnuts tied with red ribbon. Bright autumn maple leaves, ginko leaves and bittersweet berries are woven in with a corn husk bow adorning the bottom.

Take along this autumn bag to carry your garden bounty. After all, Mabon is all about the food!

Surreal Renaissance Masterpiece! This is a reproduction of the surrealistic portrait of Autumn, painted by the Italian Renaissance Mannerist painter Giuseppe Acrimboldo almost five hundred years ago. ~ Giuseppe Acrimboldo (1530-1593) is known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of as fruits, vegetables, flowers and fish. He had a definite influence on Salvadore Dali, who liked to refer to him as "the father of Surrealism."
