Equinox upon all your houses!

and an Equinox and Solstice prayer:

All praise, Theia!

Thank you for life, the genesis of the path of our axial light;

in your violent, alchemical transformation,

you twice, gave us our light,

the cycle of seasons,

and the precession of the equinoxes in the northern and southern hemispheres of our life-giving Mother Earth,

your gifts are incomparable; an enduring aweing abundance.

All, praise, you Theia, for our Earth Mother Gaia and our Moon, Selene!

for the Earthling/environmental/political take on the equinox:

The equinoxes are the closest approximation of equality that the beings on this planet ever experience: the near equality of light and darkness for all except at the most extreme latitudes for a few days at Spring and Autumn.

Though one day in the nearer future, humans and most species will share in “the equality of extinction” as James L. Farmer said at the first ever Earth Day in 1970:

“We all have a stake equally. Because if we do not save the Earth, then whatever we do in civil rights or in a war against poverty will be of no meaning, because then we will have the equality of extinction and the brotherhood of the grave.”
