Discovery of The Runes (Festival of the Mind)
This celebrates scholarship, learning in all fields and inspiration. The power of the mind is both mystical and awesome. It reminds us of Odin's sacrifice to gain wisdom, new insight. We strive for parallel spiritual and intellectual development. The runes and the truths they present can be used for personal transformation, psychic development, healing and the building of the environment according to the inner will. This festival also remind us of an essential truth, the fallacy that because mankind is created from the same stuff that all are of the same value and should be valued equally. Ancient writing (including the Edda, and some modern) show that the differences in human qualities and capabilities have always been realized.
Today this eternal truth is not popular and has led to a desire to drag all down to the lowest common denominator which ultimately benefits no-one.
Let us remember until we respect ourselves, our folk, our folk's achievements, uniqueness and gifts, we can not truly respect another
Celtic Tree month of Muin: Celtic tree month of Muin begins, running from September 2 to September 29 and honoring Vines. Muin focuses on both Harvest time, as well as healing and magical powers.

Plant a late autumn vine, or hibiscus,, and take the time to think on your Folk while digging in the dirt. Vines have amazing strength and tenacity, traits we should exhibit as well.

Horned Dance at Abbotts Bromely: Today marks the day of the Horned dance at Abbots Bromely, which exemplifies and honors the Horned God in the Celtic pantheon, Cernunnos. "The Horned One" is a Celtic god of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and the underworld. He was worshiped all over Gaul, and his cult spread into Britain as well. Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag, sometimes carries a purse filled with coin. The Horned God is born at the winter solstice, marries the Goddess at Beltane, and dies at the summer solstice. He alternates with the Goddess of the Moon in ruling over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation.

Day of Remembrance for Herman of the Cherusci: Herman learned the art of war under the Romans, then denounced his servitude to the Imperial eagles to lead his tribe in revolt against the Mediterranean intruders. In the fall of the year 9 CE, he annihilated three legions in the Teutobergerwald , a victory which saved Germania from Roman occupation. Plant an oak tree, eat in a German restaurant, and remember Herman with a glass of fine beer from the ancient Teutonic lands. Bravery and valour
are a quality so sadly missed so rarely shown, drink in the memory of this fearsome warrior and reawake the fire inside your own heart. Never bow your head before NO one, these values are to known in each day of your life and not remembered just on one day in a year. But in these times now we need icons and we need true live heroes. We turn to look but we find NONE, so we grasp for the dead heroes and memories of them. Do not wait for examples,, be that live image the world awaits for.

Autumn Equinox (Mabon, Harvest End),
Mabon is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all 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 Green Man, the God of the Forrest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Mabon is a minor blot acknowledging the end of the Harvest Season, also associate with vintage and mead-making. Most people held off the full celebration of this holiday, though, until the main festival of Winternights.
At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. Its is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.
Mabon is considered a time of Mystery. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvest, whether they be from toiling in our garden, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hassle of everyday life.
