We just marked the Autumnal Equinox–the first day of a new season. But really we’ve been losing light and moving into darkness since the Solstice.
Autumn is the perfect season to welcome a little light. Candle feels so much bigger than the light they shed. They warm our spaces; they call us near. Beeswax candles give an especially rich light and delicate scent. Here are a few ways to add a little light:
- You can use the coloring sheet from yesterday’s feast celebration and paste it onto a vigil candle from the grocery store.
- You can make these lanterns for St Martin’s Day on November 12th.
- You can pick up a box of tapers and light one each night at dinner before the blessing.
These simple shifts bring awareness and attention–the perfect conditions for wonder!
Happy to have stumbled on your site. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, heart and simplicity–so much peace coming off your word!
Warmest,
Jasmine
