Autumn Equinox
The autumnal equinox is a very special time of the year. Autumn, Fall or Mabon signals the transition from summer to the cooler seasons. It is resplendent with all the earthy red, yellow, gold and brown colors of the changing leaves. It is a time to harvest and celebrate the bounty the earth has provided throughout the warm season. Equinox means equal daylight and darkness. After today the nights will be longer than the days until the Vernal Equinox.
Here are a couple of "corn husk" dolls that I made for the autumn equinox. Consistent with Iroquois legend and practice the dolls have no face.
