Harvest Moon Altar Ritual
Color of the day: Crimson Incense of the day: Evergreen Incense of the day: Evergreen This is one of many thanksgiving ceremonies employed by the Iroquois people to honor the fertility of the earth and give thanks for the harvest. Use this harvest festival as inspiration to begin your Autumn Equinox altar. Gather about a cup of fertile soil. Put it in a pretty bowl on your altar. Pick out a few ripe gourds and squash of various colors, shapes, textures, and sizes, and place them on your altar along with some rainwater. If you are not the type to keep an altar, place these items on a nice cloth on your mantel or a windowsill. With this simple altar ritual you share thanksgiving with the Harvest Moon while preparing for the changing of the wheel at the Autumn Equinox. |
