Falling (get it?) on the same day is the autumnal equinox and the Jewish New Year.
Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the birthday of the universe, year 5786, and is the beginning of the High Holy Days.
Fall weather in SoCal usually brings our hottest Santa Ana winds and high temperatures, but yesterday was a drizzly, showery day and we were all so grateful for it because we hadn’t had any rain in months.
Today, the first day of autumn, is still a bit gloomy, but it’s heating up again. The leaves are turning yellow so we know change is on the way.
Mythically, the autumnal equinox relates to the story of Persephone and marks the moment the goddess descends into the underworld to rejoin her husband, Hades.
It’s a good day to write down what we want to release alongside what we want to attract. It’s all about balance.
Happy New Year and Happy Autumn!
L’shanah tovah! Remember to eat apples dipped in honey and hope for an end to war and long lasting peace.

I love Autumn – the beginning of slowing down and having more inner quiet time. Years ago, when I was taking a healing class, one of the first things we did was meet our two healing guides. We learned one of our guides in class and had homework of learning the other one on our own. When I was home meditating and connecting with the guide, I asked it’s name. At first I thought it was Stephanie. And then I clearly got Persephone. She looked classically Greek, with her curly hair pulled up and wearing a white, long dress with a ribbon crossed across her chest and going around her waist. Knowing nothing about Greek mythology and the story of Persephone, I was fascinated to learn a bit about her. She helps me dive into my shadows so I can bring them to light.

Interesting! This is the first time I remember reading about Persephone’s relation to the equinox. All I knew of her was that she held a pomegranate.
