Sept. 22 2002 - Equinox
Fall is really here. It's the equinox, for those of you who don't know that means the time of year when the sun is exactly above the equator and day and night are of equal length all over the earth. The vernal equinox, when spring begins in the Northern Hemisphere, occurs about March 21, when the sun moves north across the celestial equator. The autumnal equinox falls about September 23,as the sun crosses the celestial equator going south. The exact dates vary very slightly year to year, I think it was a touch early this year. Perhaps today, or yesterday, I haven't consulted any data though. The moon is also gloriously full, and when the autumn moon rises, it's always so ripe, looming large, and often golden as it first enters the night sky. I'm sure there is a science about it, but I don't know it. I just enjoy it. In many countries in Asia they are celebrating Autumn and the autumn moon. I should venture into china town and look for moon cakes.
The pagans and Wiccans are celebrating now as well, the name of their holiday for the equinox usually Mabon. The Welsh name Mabon means "great son" and refers to the Son of the Great Mother. This Celtic mythological figure, who has many names and figures in many tales, was identified by the Romans as Mercury or sometimes as Apollo. In Christian Britain He was superseded by St. Michael, to whom churches on many sacred Pagan sites were dedicated, and the Fall Equinox became the Christian feast of Michaelmas.
Unfortunately I currently don't have any practicing pagan friends, or I'd have been invited somewhere to circle, to celebrate, which at this time of year, always includes plenty of food, and if you're lucky enough to be hanging out with the right kind of Wiccans, running around in someone's backyard naked. I don't practice myself, I'm rather eclectic in my personal spiritual beliefs, but I've had many alternatively spiritual friends in the past.
The Autumnal Equinox marks the beginning of shorter days and longer nights. All around the world, many cultures gather with friends to celebrate the passage into Winter.
In Astrology, the sign of Libra begins at this time. The scales symbolizing Libra are a direct link to the harvest, as this is the time where the farmers brought in their goods to be weighed and sold.
Well, it's been an interesting day, and time of year for me. Part of me is happy to see the leaves starting to turn, and the cooler winds blowing in. Knowing Vancouver's days and days of soft grey rain are coming. Some people dread the long rainy fall and winter, but fall has always been my favorite time of year.
A time of reflection, a time when you get to layer yourself into more lovely clothes, and slip out of sandals and into boots, and then, there's my love of gloves, which you can't really wear in the heat of summer. The kid gloves my mother gave me are going to be spending a lot of time on my hands. So far, they've mostly only been on when I've been playing in the BDSM sense, and slapping, grabbing, spanking people with them. Lovely.
I can already see myself sitting on the bus, on the way to somewhere, looking at my gloved hands in my lap, with the rain beating down on the window, and thinking about where those gloves have been. They'd been bought second hand, who knows where they'd been before that. Probably a lot of places. Well made long unlined soft black leather kid gloves like that are often years and years and years old. They last forever. I hope these ones hold up to rough handling.
It's the harvesting of fall fashions I must confess that I love best of all. Layers of clothes, long coats, Usually classic men's coats made with cashmere, again second hand treasures good for full figured girls like me. Or the leather coat given to me by a beloved site member two falls ago, which is sadly now too small, but I'm not willing to part with it, it still looks good on, but I can't zip it comfortably. Then there are the boots, as I mentioned before. Which seem to find me in all the stores, Wolfe will cringe, because I have no place to put them anymore. The shoe collection, like the wig collection, is happily out of control. Luckily these are items often subsidized by my lines of work, website members who are feeling generous, or pro-Domme clients who are happy to see me trying them on, and then wearing them later, and then... well, incorporating them into fun and games.
Speaking of pro-Domming, I had my first in a long time client tonight, and I had a really great time. I love it when it all just clicks together. It's not a job, it's not a hobby, it's not a lifestyle... it's a calling. I just love to do it. It flows and flows and flows. It went really well I felt, and I'm hopeful that I will have a returning client with more fun to follow. My session fee is already reserved for the outfit I want my tailor to make me. I bought the fabric a couple of months back now. Fall clothes... yummy. It's the faux suede that's in this year. It's deep deep brown, like dark chocolate. It's the only brown I like in clothes. I somehow, acquired brown boots, brown shoes, brown leather gloves, and a brown long men's cashmere coat. So, naturally, a brown fall outfit has been hovering waiting for the finances to arrive. The fabric is still in long sheets, and my mind keeps humming around whether it's too become a long skirt with a slit and long top, and be two practical coordinating pieces, or whether it will just turn into one long sheath dress, which is a favored item of mine, just to slip on one item. As soon as I decide, and it won't be long, me, my fabric, and the envelope handed over to me by a very lovely submissive I got to torture tonight, filled with the last but not least (nor greatest) joys of pro-Domming, my session fee, will find our way into the tailors, and a couple of weeks from now I'll be feeling like a giant sexy happy furry chocolate bar. <smile> Head to toe in chocolate brown fall fashion. Don't worry, I'll take pictures.
That's enough of my self indulgent wanderings for this evening.
Oh, did I happen to mention, that of all my lovely equinox joys, was the fact that my first pro-Domme client after my non-pro sabbatical of playing only with friends, turned out to be a very responsive, handsome, clean, sweet smelling boy? It's nice to do something you're passionate about, it's even nicer to do it with someone who is responsive, and you can see their passion, and nicer still, when they're easy on the eyes.
Purrrrrrrrrrrr
time for a late night snack, and some relaxation.
