It is the time of the autumn equinox, and the harvest is winding down. The fields are nearly empty, because the crops have been plucked and stored for the coming winter. Mabon is the mid-harvest festival, and it is when we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. On or around September 21, for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings. With it being a few weeks away, now is a good time to start decorating your home for the autumn equinox, and planning your fall craft projects!Follow Pagan/Wiccan on Twitter or Join Me On Facebook.

Durham’s Feed the Need is in need itself … Of more space…

SGC Admin: Julien LeBourdais, Executive director at Feed the Need in Durham is asking for the public’s help in acquiring a lager space for the food donations. 

Food donations are distributed in the community and to agencies. Food donations can come in skid loads from businesses and in smaller amounts from community residents. 

The amount of people needing assistance with basic household items such as laundry soap and diapers is on the rise, and so too, luckily are the donation amounts. However, the space in which to store and organize the goods is getting smaller…
