In the Balance
The earth is fascinating. As we in the Northern Hemisphere celebrate Lammas, our sisters in the South prepare for their celebration of Bridget. One of the maxims of feminist craft, and a premise for a lot of spellwork, is "as above, so below." When I first heard this saying, I did not consider that it also applied to the Earth. Each hemisphere of the earth is a reflection of the other. When one half of the earth moves toward spring the other moves toward fall. This movement creates a constant state of balance between the two hemispheres.
As I look out my window here in Wisconsin at the lush green trees of summer, I know that my sisters in the South are moving toward spring. In my magic, I sometimes pause to visualize a connection to the opposite side of the world. I do this not as a way to connect with things to come or things past, but to touch those living now on the other side of the wheel. In Spirit,
