Spring is of rebirth, reinvention, fortune and life. Summer is of pleasure, excess, insanity and drunkedness. Autumn is of closing doors, melancholy, and secret truths. Winter is of solitude and strength, of purity and reflection. In Spring, all things are made new (new energies born) In Summer, all things are made greater (grow) In Autumn, old things are shed (whatever's left remains) In Winter, the world becomes a mirror (frozen) to reflect. People no longer have respect for the seasons. We no longer follow the divine guidelines set by Earth herself. Summer starts early now and bleeds into fall, the world is hotter by the month. Global warming is mostly caused by the collective's wish to be on permanent vacation. The old ways truly exist to perish and then be reborn, in a state of "less than was before". I am a follower and observer of nature, I believe in its ideal and philosophy - prioritizing the balance of ALL over the needs and wants of the individual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSTx3BcKsJ4 To reiterate, if you wish to understand ritual folklore as a beginner and how it works - I always (always!) advise to see The Wicker Man (1973). A very rare movie that captures the essence and formula of the mystical works. Watch it several times with few months in-between.
