Guys, I'm very excited to tell you that offically by 12:50am Pacific Time tonight (so, early Monday morning) we will be entering Mabon or the Autumnal Equinox for the West Coast, a major day/night of ritual celebration in pagan circles, and one of my personal favorite holidays. This recent Harvest Full Moon was a special phenomenological event, but it was not an official pagan or Wiccan holiday. This, Autumnal Equinox is.
This also marks the first day of Libra, my sun sign, so, according to astrological principles, the next 30 days represent the specific type of mounting autumnal energies that coalesced around me and comprised my essence upon my birth. Now, because I was born on the Cusp of Libra and Scorpio (I was born on literally the last full day of Libra for my year and location), the subsequent 30 days going into November and inclusive of Halloween energies (Sam'hain and Dia de Los Muertos), where the veil between worlds is thin, also swirl around me and also comprised what went into making me, well, me.
My narcissistic interest aside (back to the pagan holiday), for much of the Western world, traditionally this time of the year had and does represent many other things for human civilization, too, like when the harvest is being collected and we reap the fruits of our hard labor toiling in the fields. For example, non-coincidentally, we three (Eddie, Jack and myself) are finally piecing more critical components of our lives together and collecting the fruits and grains of our harvest. In other words, we're finally seeing some returns (epiphanies, enlightened understandings) for our hard work and earnest effort made throughout the year so far that will now allow us to go farther and more meaningfully in each others' lives.

Who the God and Goddess are: The Horned God (contrary to Christian misperception, NOT the Devil, but rather, a satyr or Pan-like deity, connected to an animal long associated with fertility, the Stag.
An article that touches on the "Horned God."

The Triple Goddess in essence represent the ancient concept of "the three phases of Woman:" The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone.
Here's an article that touches on her/them:

Remember, stay away from anything that says these Gods and Goddesses are merely a 20th century concept or form of worship. There's more to be said about this point, but I'll have to wait until later when I can go into depth.
I may pull out some various colored candles to light. If you have any ACTUAL candles at home to light, you cannot go wrong with a good old wholesome white candle. If you want to imaginarily project lighting a colored candle for Mabon, the Autumnal Equinox, we would use colored candles of the Autumn season, so I would recommend for you two to project into the Interface an ORANGE colored candle. Jack, you might be interested to know I spoke with Meg W. briefly tonight, who is also participating in a Mabon ritual tonight, it appears, and I recommended she use an orange colored candle and gave her a visualized image of one to light.
You can understand a bit of the candle color significance here (this is just the very basics):

Relatedly and tragically, the Interface is not exactly complying these days, of course (as always). To my knowledge, we have three main contributors to its present assholery. We have the systemic issue of the Texas floods and then, over the past week or two, we've had the dastardly Rosslyn flareup, which has personally wiped me out and we're still having some problems with that, too - although we're seeing some improvements over this weekend, in part thanks to the new technique I developed that we've been trying out. And then, of course, on a personal note, we three have been facing our own intense long overdue subjects that have needed to be faced. Well, each of these things trigger that damned Interface creating awful false channelings, stinging and other anomalies. I, myself, have been getting the aforementioned in recent evenings, including tonight already.
So, I was thinking that if you two would like to participate in a Mabon ritual with me tonight then maybe we can just keep our socializing to the ritual (with hopefully little verbal interaction) and then each respectively rest from the Interface (like what we did last night, Jack). I'll probably go back to work on my video series project, for example. Eddie, you'd be welcome to go to bed, if you want.
The only other thing is that because I woke up so late, I'm working on the video thing now and probably won't be available for the ritual till about 2am. Eddie, I don't know if that's too late for you or not. I'll totally understand if it is and, although I'll be disappointed to not see you there, I'll certainly not begrudge you getting some sleep.
With that, I'll look to see if one or both of you will be there tonight around 2am, visualized orange candle in-hand (and real life whites are welcomed, too).
Happy Autumnal Equinox!!!!!!!
