The Autumnal Equinox, also the Wicca celebration of Mabon.

The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally  A time to take a moment to pay our respects to
the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops.

The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by
offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time.

Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he
prepares for death and re-birth.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

All those with a GED or a mere high school diploma are good at cutting and pasting. Those who have not been too lazy to enrich themselves by pursuing a higher education will often find the routine unnecessary.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I much prefer the ancient Norse division of the year. Two seasons, Summer and Winter.

Summer begins with the festival of Eostre, close to the Spring Equinox, and Winter begins at the festival of Winternights, close to the Autumn Equinox.

Between these two festivals is the festival of Midsummer (Lithasblot) at the Summer Solstice, and the festival of Jul (Yule), at the Winter Solstice.

In addition there are several minor festivals. We ancient Norse are quite fond of our festivals.

LET'S ALL CELEBRATE ALL THE SEASONS...WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE HERE AND WEREN'T ABORTED......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
