Celebrations of the Autumn Equinox.

September 22, 23, 24 - the autumn equinox - magical days when any of us can clearly touch the miracle.

From the moment of the autumn equinox, the power of the sun decreases every day to the very winter solstice, after which it will again begin to increase, bringing the new agricultural season closer. In the meantime, after a temporary balance, the time of the power of darkness comes. The earth is preparing for winter: they gather in flocks migratory birds and starts autumn leaf fall.

The autumn equinox for our ancestors was a time of giving thanks to the gods for the harvest and prosperity, as well as honoring the dead and decorating the graves.

At the end of September, they went to the forests for mushrooms and medicinal plants, made wine from ripe apples and grapes (in southern Europe), and also marked the end of the harvest with thanksgiving feasts.

Special meaning on the day of the autumn equinox they gave rowan:

On this day, rowan brushes, along with leaves, were inserted between window frames in the evening, believing that from this day, when the sun begins to weaken, the rowan will protect the house from the forces of darkness.

It was also believed that a rowan branch plucked that day could help with insomnia.

The autumn equinox is associated with the energy of Mother Earth. Therefore, on this day, special attention was paid to cooking and festive table.

The abundance of food helped reinforce the image that there would be enough food for everyone in the winter.

In Russia, the day of the autumn equinox was considered a holiday and was always celebrated with pies with cabbage, lingonberries and meat, as well as folk festivals.

On this day, waking up early in the morning, the first thing you need to go to the shower. According to beliefs, in the soul, a person will completely wash away all the accumulated negative energy and be clean and open to positive reception. It is also recommended to bake a cabbage pie during the day.

Important so that the cake turns out round and does not burn. If the cake turned out delicious, and during the cooking process the dough quickly rose - this clear sign what you will receive soon good news that will surprise and delight you.

There are also a number of signs related to this day, by which you can determine the weather for the coming autumn and winter. The weather on the day of the autumn equinox will be a forecast of the weather that will be fixed for the whole autumn. At the same time, if you notice that the birds on this day began to leave their native lands and fly south, this is clear sign that the winter will be cold and harsh. Another factor indicating the upcoming cold winter and frosts, is the presence of yellowed foliage on birches and mountain ash.

How to live the day of the autumn equinox consciously and profitably:

First of all, I suggest that you conduct a meditation on grounding in the morning. This is especially important during a period when the cold is just around the corner. Few dare to walk barefoot on the ground in the icy winter.

A the energy of the earth with its strength, stamina and calmness is needed by a woman at any time of the year. Another plus of the grounding technique is self-confidence, the ability to see your path and follow it. Also, don't fall when it's icy.

So this is very simple technique visualization that optimizes energy flows in your body, removes all blocks and strengthens your connection with the physical plane so that you do not "fly away" into dreams and illusions.

Sit or stand, but keep your back straight. Hands can be joined in front of the chest. Close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply. Focus on your breath until you feel deeply relaxed.

Imagine that a long wire is tied to the base of your spine, extending into the floor and further into the ground. If you want, you can imagine that this is a root that goes deep into the earth. Choose the color of the wire at will, each time this color may be different. Now imagine the earth energy moving up this wire or root (if you are sitting, imagine it moving up through the soles of your feet), flowing through all parts of your body and the top of your head. Hold on to this image until you actually feel this flow. Now imagine that the energy of the Sun flows from above through the top of your head, through your body and through the ground wire into the ground.

Feel how both streams move simultaneously in your body in opposite directions, blending harmoniously. When you feel that the energy flows in you are balanced or that you are filled with energy, you can complete the meditation, thank Mother Earth and Father Sun for their Love and care.

This meditation maintains a balance in you between the cosmic, solar energy of vision, fantasy, and imagination, and the stable, earthly energy of the physical plane, a balance on which depends a sense of well-being and the ability to manifest yourself. You can repeat this meditation any day if you feel a lack of energy. Previously, the "old" cord must be disconnected from the center of the Earth and from the base of the spine and buried, then pick up a cord of a new color.

During the connection with the earth, you can ask the energy to give you what you lack - maybe it is more peace, the opportunity to find your home, support, or the health of yourself and your loved ones. The main thing is to believe!

Pay attention to your home. Just not with the feeling that they need to do it. A with love. On this day, it is good to buy any ceramic items, clay pots for the house.

Arrange a small feast for yourself and your loved ones. Cover the table with a new tablecloth. Put bread, a pie in the center of the table - if not baked with your own hands, then always fresh. Another required attribute- This is a bowl of fruit. Mandatory - apples. The rest are up to you. Finally, one more important point- this is a branch of mountain ash, which should also decorate the table.

It is important for women to wear skirts on this day., thereby connecting with the energy of the earth and being saturated with it.

After gala dinner, behind which the whole family gathered, all relatives join hands and everyone makes a wish. Energy magical day and the family circle will help dreams come true faster.

For girls and women of marriageable age on this day, you can ask the plentiful hostess of the fall for the groom. To do this, you need to write your request on a piece of paper from sunrise to lunch and leave it on the window. Put a sprig of rowan on top of the leaf. Going "to people" put on any thing of red color - a skirt, a scarf, gloves)

All you need to feel is the feeling of the abundance of the universe and that you are the mistress of your life.

For abundance, the law is important: receive and give. On this day, give everything easily and with joy, give someone a gift or give something away just like that. Accept whatever comes with gratitude.

The mistress of her life is the one who knows what she really needs. Take a walk in nature, breathe in the fresh September air and mentally connect with the energies of nature, ask autumn to carry away your doubts, fears and disbelief that you will meet your betrothed along with flying leaves. Ask autumn to give you a sense of calm and faith. Take any leaf that resonates with your soul and bring it home.

At night, a sprig of mountain ash is good to put under the pillow. Then hide a piece of paper with a desire, a mountain ash and a leaf in a secluded place. And trust life. Everything will happen in right time. And certainly.

For every woman, fate has prepared numerous gifts. And the day of the autumnal equinox is the day when any of us can once again touch the miracle. It is no coincidence that this day is considered an unusual and magical day - the period of the autumn equinox, when day and night divide the day equally, and then the sun begins to prepare for a long winter. And together with Yaril, we will all tune in to new way life. And dive into autumn, which leads a close friendship with the winter-winter.

Bushes with bright and ripe berries were placed between window frames in the evening, believing that from this day, when the sun begins to weaken, the mountain ash will protect the house from the forces of darkness. It was also believed that a rowan branch plucked that day could help with insomnia.

Women wore rowan beads to rejuvenate the body and fill it with energies that will help to conceive and bear a child.

In an even more ancient tradition, it was believed that on the day of the autumn equinox, some invisible gates open between heaven and earth, and therefore it is on this day that you should send your prayers to heaven, make wishes and make plans for the future.

The autumn equinox is associated with the energy of Mother Earth. Therefore, on this day, special importance was given to cooking and the festive table. The abundance of food helped reinforce the image that there would be enough food for everyone in the winter. And, of course, the main dishes were the gifts of the earth: vegetables, pickles, jams, potatoes, bread from new crop flour, honey and pies.

Also on the day of the autumn equinox, it is customary to tune in to financial well-being. In the morning, count all the money in the house three times, do not think about debts and expenses on this day. Give thanks to the world for everything you have. And then more will surely come to you.

Fire Phoenix New Year

On September 22, 2017, on the day of the Autumn Equinox, all enlightened Russ - Russians - Slavic-Aryans - will celebrate the New Year of the Fiery Phoenix! During this period, Summer 7526 comes from the Creation of the World in the Star Temple (S.M.Z.Kh)!
At present, the World is still under the influence of the "Biblical civilization" and most people use the dates from the Nativity of Christ and the Gregorian church calendar. Also kept in memory Julian calendar, which differs from the Gregorian by about 13 days, called the "old style". It so happened in Russia that since the time of Peter I, every year in January they remember him when the "Old New Year" is celebrated.

Also, the media obsessively reminds of the change of years according to the Chinese, Japanese and other calendars. For example, the Chinese are currently in 4713, the Jews have already celebrated their 5778.

Of course, this expands the general outlook, but in order for it to become more real, objective, and reflect the true worldview, we need to touch our native Old Russian tradition chronology.

All holidays of the Rus are astronomical and are associated with their native Vedic faith. Therefore, they are firmly tied to the Cosmos and Star time, and do not depend on any human innovations - neither on the "old" nor on the "new" style of chronology.

The origins of the culture of our Ancestors lie many millennia before the beginning of the "new era", and echoes persist to this day...
In them we find the most ancient layer - objects and phenomena of the immediate environment, which were woven into human life.
These are the forces of Cosmos and Nature, and our Great Ancestors associated with them: Svarog, Lada, Perun, Veles, Makosh, - Our entire Family. But also the animal and plant world, trees, groves, forests, rivers, lakes, stones, scrolls, etc.

Our Ancestors had many totem animals into which the Russian Gods could turn, that is, they were hypostases of these gods: Bear (Veles), Wolf (Semargl), Horse (Kitovras), Eagle (Perun), Finist Clear Falcon(the image of the Rus), Phoenix (Eternal life - the Svarog cycle), etc.
The ancient Faith of the Rus is characterized as - Russian philosophical and Vedic teaching - wisdom that everything that exists is God, identifying the Universe, Nature and the absolute beginning of being. And man is a microcosm. God is not outside, but inside - in the abyss of the human soul. The object of worship was Nature, perceived as a single organic whole, full of various manifestations of life and in constant motion.

Slavism is the oldest world Faith on our planet. The main core of the Slavs is the Old Russian Vedic Culture. The Slavs are Aryans - Russ - Russians who adhere to the Old Russian Vedic Faith, who glorify Rule - the laws of Space and Nature - the universal law of Svarog that governs the world. To glorify Rule is to glorify God. Praise Rule - this is Orthodoxy. As you can see, the Faith of our Ancestors was already called that at that distant time. Slavism - gave the basis to all the world's religions that exist today.

The Rus are a wonderful people with great Ancestors and a rich culture! And our people each month have their own holidays associated with Nature, Cosmos, our Russian Gods - our Family.
The Old Russian calendar - Kolyada Dar - Krugolet Chislobog came to us from our Ancestors from Slavic-Aryan astrology, according to which our Midgard-Earth not only moves around the Yarilo-Sun, but also rotates around its axis, and the axis, in turn, slowly moves in a circular cone. This movement is called precession. And as a result of this, the complete turnover visually observed from the Earth starry sky occurs in 25920 years - this is the known period of revolution solar system Yarilo-Sun around the center of the galaxy. Our ancestors called this celestial cycle the Svarog Circle (Days of Svarog).

The cycle of rotation of Midgard-Earth around the Yarilo-Sun was called Summer. From the word summer in our language, the concepts of chronicle, chronicler, chronology, etc., have been preserved.

Likewise, the most big period the time of our ancestors "Svarogy Circle" - was also great: 25920 years. Such a huge figure still remains unnoticed by contemporaries who are accustomed to living on the scale of one human life, and not by the time scales of the Cosmic existence of mankind and ice ages.

Throughout the Svarog Circle for an earthly observer, our Yarilo-Sun moves across the firmament from constellation to constellation (otherwise - the chamber) in the opposite direction from the usual annual cycle. The position of the Yarilo-Sun in the sky is determined during the solstices. In what chamber is the Yarilo-Sun on September 22 (Aryan, Russian style) or March 22 (Latin, Western style) in that era we live.

Since, unlike Western and Chinese astrology, the Slavic-Aryans in the firmament distinguished not 12, but 16 zodiac constellations, then, accordingly, the zodiac era, in their opinion, lasted 1620 years. That is, the point of the autumn solstice of the Yarilo-Sun every 1620 years passes into a new chamber (constellation).

Almost all the holidays of the Rus coincide with the life cycle of the Earth and the Cosmos, and therefore not only spiritual, but also something else is important - familiarization with Nature, bringing into your life the feeling that the Universe is alive.

For tens of millennia, calendar dates served our Ancestors, helping them to cultivate the land, harvest, hunt and fish in time. Summer, divided into sixteen (modern - into twelve) parts, was depicted on ritual thickets and corresponded to each month special sign. Summer (annual wheel) - Kolo Svarog - carried a special meaning, which consisted in the eternal rebirth and renewal of all living things. But the calendar is important not only for weekdays, it is always decorated with happy holidays.

Ramhat is coming - the month of the Divine Beginning. This month is associated with the beginning of the Russian calendar New Summer - the New Year in the New Slavic Space Age of the Wolf under the auspices of God Veles.

1 Ramhat - September 22 - Day of the autumn equinox, Day of the Family. Svarog Day, Holiday harvested crop- Russian New Year!

Astronomically, autumn begins on Ramhat 1 or September 22. These are the autumn months in which the Sun passes through the signs of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Cold dew, the bee ceases to carry a bribe. Then the meeting of autumn, they see off the sunset in the field, with songs. And the last flight of swallows, roasting (completion of the harvest).

In the old days, this month was also called "ruyin" - from the roar of autumn winds and animals, especially deer. The old Russian form of the verb “ryuti” (roar) is known, which, when applied to the autumn wind, meant “roar, blow, call”. He received the name "frown" due to his weather differences from others - the sky often frowns, it rains, autumn comes in nature. Another name for this month, "spring", is due to the fact that heather begins to bloom at this time.

But the most ancient name of the month was "Ramhat" - the month of the Divine Beginning, the month of fortieth - 41 days. The first day of the month Ramhat corresponds to September 21-22, that is, the Slavic-Aryan day included the evening and part of the night of September 21, plus the rest of the night, morning and day of September 22.

During this period, Makoshino Poletye is celebrated - “old Indian summer”, a series of holy days until Ramhat 38 (October 28), dedicated to the Goddess Mokosh the Ancestor, the last warm days of the outgoing summer. Goddess Makosh - Goddess of the Universal Destiny, Goddess of the Law of Karma.

Makosh complements Veles, which personifies female wisdom, takes care of female fertility and productivity, thrift and prosperity in the house, and also patronizes female needlework on Earth. Goddess Makosh - Main Goddess Russ! Thanks to this Goddess, in Russia there is the concept of “unknown fate”, since all the threads of the Fates are in the hands of Mokosh (whose Will is known only to the Family). Patronizing entirely family happiness and prosperity - Makosh is a rather strict and demanding Goddess.

Field work is ending, Makoshino Poletye is passing, the last warm days of the outgoing Summer are coming and Great holidays are coming: Rod, Svarog, Lada, Rozhanitsy, Mother Earth, Harvest!
This is the time of summing up, and the onset of the New Summer - making decisions on the conclusion marriage union, - after all, this is the astronomical Day of the autumn equinox - 1 Ramhat (September 21-22)!
On this day, they bring the requirements of the Almighty Family and the Heavenly Family - Ancestors-Ancestors, and also glorify the Earthly Family - all relatives by the Rule of the living:
"Glory to God Rod forever, praise to us for deeds."

1 Ramhat (from September 21 to 22) - Svarog Day - the most important day - the Day of the autumn equinox - the Feast of the Heavenly Smith. The rites of closing Svarga (interruption of the living connection between Heaven and Earth) have already passed. The influence of the Light Gods is falling. The earth remains in the care of Veles ...

So that people could survive a difficult time, Svarog gave them an ax, the art of craft. Therefore, blacksmiths, carpenters and all craftsmen are especially honored. The autumnal equinox, or harvest time, has traditionally been associated with the harvesting of wild or green fruits, gifts from Mother Earth. This equinox is the second of two days of the year when day equals night in Svarog Kolya, the end of the harvest of vegetables, fruits and leftover grains.
The day of the autumnal equinox reminds of the arrival of winter, during this period magic rituals are held to ensure that there is enough food in winter: the rite consists in the fact that at the festival they were first shown and then eaten best gifts summer...

On September 22 or 23, the autumn equinox occurs, when day and night last for 12 hours. The autumnal equinox is the astronomical beginning of autumn.

Pagan Celebrations of the Autumn Equinox

From the moment of the autumn equinox, the power of the sun decreases every day until the winter solstice, after which it will again begin to increase, bringing the new agricultural season closer. In the meantime, after a temporary balance, the time of the power of darkness comes.

The earth is preparing for winter: migratory birds gather in flocks and autumn leaf fall begins. The autumn equinox for our ancestors was a time of giving thanks to the gods for the harvest and prosperity, as well as honoring the dead and decorating the graves. At the end of September, they went to the forests for mushrooms and medicinal plants, made wine from ripe apples and grapes (in southern Europe), and also marked the end of the harvest with thanksgiving feasts.

In philosophical terms, this is the time to take stock, to express gratitude for what we have, and to complete the annual affairs.

Mabon - Celtic festival of the autumnal equinox

On the autumn equinox, the ancient Celts celebrated Mabon - the festival of the second harvest and ripening of apples. Mabon traditions from pagan times are alive in many European countries, where harvest festivals are traditionally held at the end of September.

Often the Harvest Festival (Harvest Appreciation Day) is held on the Sunday following the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. This full moon is called the Harvest Moon.

Usually the harvest festival takes place at the end of September, but sometimes it falls on the beginning of October. On this day, parishioners decorate churches with baskets of fruits and vegetables from their gardens, produce from farms, and fresh flowers. After the service, this food is distributed to those who need it. Make sure to donate to the local community.

There was a tradition among farmers of holding a special dinner to which everyone who worked on the farm during the year was invited so that the farmer could express gratitude to his helpers.

Sometimes these suppers were called the supper of the last sheaf: the harvest is over and the feast begins. Farmers competed among themselves who will harvest the fastest.

In the Middle Ages, the Roman Church replaced the ancient September festivals of gratitude with Michaelmas Day (the day of the Archangel Michael, September 29), the celebration of which inherited many of the traditions of the ancient festivals of the autumn equinox.

Veresen, autumn - ancient Slavic holidays of September

In early September, the Eastern Slavs celebrated Osenins (giving away Ovsen) - a holiday of the beginning of autumn and thanksgiving to the Earth for the harvest. Ovsen in Slavic mythology was a deity responsible for the change of seasons. By the beginning of September, the harvest in the fields was coming to an end, but garden work was still going on. After Osenin, hop harvesting began.

The sun in the view of the ancient Slavs (as well as other pagans) passed through different hypostases during the year, associated with the seasons. In September, the sun from the "adult" (from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox) state passed into the "senile" state, which lasted from the autumn equinox to the winter solstice.

On the day of the autumn equinox, the Slavs began the seventh month of the year, dedicated to the god Veles, who was called Veresen (Tausen, Radogoshch). This one great holiday the ancient Slavs celebrated for two weeks - a week before and a week after the autumn equinox. Suryu honey drink was insisted on freshly harvested hops and treated to it during festive meals.

After the autumn equinox, the ancient inhabitants of Russia escorted the goddess Zhiva to Svarga (heavenly kingdom), thanking her for the donated harvest. Svarga was closed for a cold and dark winter period.

The opening of Svarga was celebrated on the last day of the festive week on Komoeditsa (Maslenitsa), which fell among the ancient inhabitants of Russia on the spring equinox - March 21.
