Autumn is a time when we transition toward longer nights, darker days and more moody weather. This shift in weather and light can have an effect on our mood. I know many people find this time of year challenging.

However, with all that said, this month, my message takes a lighter and more seductive line of inquiry.

With the passing of the autumn equinox, where both light and dark are in balance, I’d like to focus for a moment on this season as part of a cycle of the earth’s fertility and abundance. 

I’d like to proffer the idea that this is a bountiful and positive time of year, where we can tap into sensory pleasure and bask in the ample harvest of everything we’ve cultivated, drawing it into our skin and bones like the trees call back nutrients from their leaves for winter storage.

Yes, we may face more difficulty or darkness during the autumn-winter months, so here are some ideas to help us navigate these waters, whilst letting ourselves be held and supported by the seasons and their riches.

This month we explore the heart of the hearth with the Greek Goddess Hestia.
Hestia gently beckons us home to ourselves after the often more exuberant and extroverted summer days. Not that summer is over, fear not (!) but we are on the cusp of drawing into autumn and Hestia reminds us to gather all the abundance, the experiences, the lessons, the fire - and start to direct it back home to the hearth to be assimilated in autumn. 

Sekhmet's Mythology

Sekhmet is an Egyptian Goddess symbolising fierce, untamed life-force energy. She is the daughter of the sun God, Ra, and mirrors the intensity of the sun at its peak: radiant, fiery, uncompromising, life-giving, and potentially devastating if not respected.

Her name means 'The Powerful One', and whilst she embodies destruction, anger and rage, she is also celebrated as a healer, protector of truth, and Goddess of medicine.

We can remember that healing often comes through the alchemy of fire and the destruction of outdated patterns and structures. We can also remember that the human experience is nuanced. Our anger is not inherently good or bad; like fire itself, it depends on how consciously we hold it. Left unattended, it can become destructive. Met with awareness and compassion, it can become a powerful catalyst for healing and transformation.
