Summer's End

Celebrates Mati Syra Zemlya as The Mother of All Herbs. A minimum of 9 potent wild herbs are gathered on this day. They are then blessed in her honor, and consecrated to use in Withcraft and Healing throughout the year- then tied into a bouquet that is hung in the house and allowed to dry; bringing the protection and presence of the Earth indoors.

It also celebrates the Contracts of Faith and Land through the Verdant and Rustic Hosts and their many-faced fruits of Knowledge given to humankind, with the beginning of the Fruit Harvest; a symbol of the beginning of the end of another successful year of partnership between Hosts and Human. It is also the time to begin preparing the land for the next year's renewal.
