Autumn Equinox Rite : The Berengaria Order of Druids
The turning point in this Lughnasadh season of the harvest, the autumn equinox is again a time when the day and night are of equal length. Occurring at some point between 20 - 23 September, it is known commonly by the Welsh/Brythonic Alban Elfed, pronounced elved, meaning 'light of autumn'. Celebrating the end of the grain harvest, it is the festival of Harvest Home. (Excerpt from Ritual by Emma Restall Orr)
