Fall Equinox

As the summer turns into fall, the world has entered the harvest season. For all peoples, this is a time of gathering in as much food as possible, in order to survive through the upcoming winter. The chill is beginning to enter the air, and the folk know that the current bounty will not last forever, but it is also time to celebrate what we have.

This example script and video is of a year when Stone Creed Grove celebrated this seaon in the Hellenic culture, honoring the agricultural gods Dionysus and Persephone, drawing on the inspiration of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
