Autumn is truly the season of the witch, and although I love cooking dishes using summer's bounty, I look forward to the harvest holidays the most. Autumn is the time I enjoy most of all, before the biting, bitter cold of winter. It may seem like the season of dying for some, and I suppose it is, but it is when I come to life. It is when I feel the strongest connection to the earth, when life turns inward for a season of introspection and inner growth.
Then there is Samhain...Ah, Samhain. Beautiful, wonderful Halloween/Samhain, followed closely by the Day of the Dead. It's a time of remembrance and feeling a stronger connection with those who have come before. It is a time to revel in the mysteries of the wise and aged, a time to take their wisdom to heart and put it into practice. Plus the cobwebs and dust in my house look like decorations! Ha!
What season do you like best?

Great post my dear! I would have to agree Autumn is one of my favorite as well. The weather, food and holidays make this witch very happy. I feel the most buzzing with energy around spring maybe that has to do with me being an April baby. My connection to the earth is strongest then for me. I can wait to see your Autumn recipes. ; )
