After my first celebration of Beltine 2 years ago on Bald Mountain , I met a very spiritual person who instilled in me love for tarot. My first (and so far the only) deck is a minivers. of the Rider-Waite. Studying now works of Hajo Banzhaf and also find out for myself herbalism.

Sonnet 97: How like a winter hath my absence been By William Shakespeare How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! What old December's bareness everywhere! And yet this time remov'd was summer's time, The teeming autumn, big with rich increase, Bearing the wanton burthen of the prime, Like widow'd wombs after their lords' decease: Yet this abundant issue seem'd to me But hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit; For summer and his pleasures wait on thee, And thou away, the very birds are mute; Or if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near.

November–

They say it is the month of death, But I have never seen such beauty in decay.

Remains of Autumn, Still smoldering, Cling to the branches, And the earth is painted a thousand shades of red.

When a heavy fog smothers the ground, Breathe in and let it fill your lungs.

It is at this time the world seems still And the fear of winter is forgotten,

If only for a moment,

Before the light fades, And we return to darkness once more.

“I do not know the day

my pain will end yet

in the little garden

I had them plant

seeds of autumn flowers”

In the time of the southern dynasties, there were four hundred and eighty temples;  How many pavilions there are now in the mist and rain.
