But the three harvest festivals of Lammas, the Autumn Equinox, and Samhain in August, September, and October usher in most witches' favorite season: fall!

Seasonal self-care is a practice that nurtures our needs in alignment with the cycles of nature - the seasons, moon phases, and movement of the planets.
Seasonal self-care rituals reconnect us with the ancient rhythms we've been exiled from, thanks to electric lights, indoor air conditioning, and an intentional break from the ways of our ancestors. Seasonal self-care means tapping into the energy around you and within you so that you can flow with everything in its natural time, instead of fighting against nature.

Cultural appropriation is the act of stealing ideas, traditions, practices, and objects without giving any attribution to people indigenous to that culture. It happens all the time in our community, as many "new age" practices are rooted in especially Native American and Asian traditions.

Two of the most important of these are Beltane on May 1 and Samhain on October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere, (reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.)

The collective energies of the universe are basically the cycles of the moon, sun, and planets, (or the moon phases, seasons, and astrology):
There are four moon phases, (new, waxing, full, and waning).
