Lughnasa Waning Honey Extraction Moon
The nights have grown cooler. The August moon has begun to fade away, and the September moon will not come for a bit. Dark nights approach, a time for the occult.
Minnesota, Mark says, feels like Canada and the Twin Cities feel like Canadian cities. The bright blue August sky, the changed slant of the sun’s rays, the occasional cottony fluff high above us all combine, with cool nights and the gradually decreasing highs to put us in the same northern space as Ontario, our nearest Canadian neighbor.
At our best, we are like Canada. We believe in health care for all people, a good education and jobs that require education. Winter helps define us and, hey, hockey is big. We have an openness to our governance that seems to be true in Canada, too.
We share some totem animals, too: moose, raven, lynx, wolf.
If Minnesota could be the next province, it would fit right in.
