😇👋A MONTH OF NO GODS🧳⛩️
There is a quaint belief that in the 10th month the gods of Japan congregate for a great gathering to discuss matchmaking at Izumo-taisha (出雲大社) in Shimane Prefecture.
Only hard-of-hearing Ebisu & the Sun Goddess miss this annual pilgrimage.

In the traditional calendar the 10th month is known as 'Kannazuki' (神無月), which nowadays has come mean 'Month Without Gods'.
Because the gods are said to gather at Izumo-taisha, in Izumo Province the 10th month was called 'Kamiarizuki' (神有月 'Month With Gods').

#folkore
It seems that originally the 10th month was called the 'Month of Gods' across Japan, as the character '無' was used for its sound ('na') rather than its meaning. In fact it's possible that when imported from China, the characters '神無' were only used for their phonetic value.

The Great Yellowing is not yet upon us (ginkgo leaves will reach their golden peak around November 23rd), but you've probably already smelt autumn in the air.
When the fruit from female ginkgo trees falls & begins to rot, the butyric acid in the skin gives off a vomit-like odor🤢

🌸FOOD FOR THE EQUINOX🍂
Food plays an important roll at Higan (彼岸).
On the first and last day of the equinoctial week, rice dumplings (団子 'dango') are offered at the family altar. Rice cakes covered in bean jam (botamochi in spring and ohagi in fall) are presented mid-week.

Botamochi and ohagi are popular during the equinoctial weeks, when they are made as sacred offerings & enjoyed as tasty snacks.
Glutinous rice is soaked, cooked and formed into a ball. Around this ball a thick sweet bean paste is packed on.

An unexpectedly, unpredictably bright and mild #autumn day, so rolled off the couch and went for a walk, which turned out to be unexpectedly, unpredictably long and lovely. Here are a few impressions.

Ended up at a little pilgrimage chapel called "Maria im Maien" with the most beautiful, glowing, autumnal vine.

1. Today's The Planet newsletter has pictures of my village, where cyclists mostly have their own roads as you often see in the Netherlands.
Here they are warned to slow down at a crossing.

3. In the main street of the village, there are horse chestnuts everywhere.
Do you pick them up or leave them on the ground?

In late summer
It's been about 3 years since I lived in America. Originally I didn't watch TV, but in this pandemic, I started to check the news of Japan and the United States on the net quite often.
It's been about 3 years since I lived in America. Originally I didn't watch TV, but in this pandemic, I started to check the news of Japan and the United States on the net quite often.
Then I came across the fact that I couldn't help but feel that news was still being made. In Japan, it is said in the United States, and in the United States, it is said in Japan. Moreover, even though the fact is not accurate,
it has become true as if no one investigated the distant country accurately. Most of the news is about this kind of child deception. In other words, the person who tells the story can only think that he is telling a lie with some intention.
I want to start a new thread story. Not sure how long it will be and I may use different prompts: #vss365 #vssmagic #vssnature etc etc ... I love reading about legends and folk lore, and in my fantasy writing I often create my own myths. So this will be just a fun exercise...
Hello #Autumn, with apologies to the Bard.
#poetry
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Sonnet 18)
Do not compare me to a summer’s day.
While, although lovely, temperate? Not I.
Rough winds no pause give me in night or day,
They blow and I do join them in their sigh.

While, although lovely, temperate? Not I.
Rough winds no pause give me in night or day,
They blow and I do join them in their sigh.
Sometimes too cold October’s breezes blow,
And thus require my heat to comfort give.
With this, well-fortified, you then shall know
I need no summer sun in which to live.
And thus require my heat to comfort give.
With this, well-fortified, you then shall know
I need no summer sun in which to live.
Adorned I am in Autumn’s motley shade,
Whose colors, vivid, carpet fading lawn,
For tempered sun and wine-warmed nights I’m made,
As Death doth flee me; I am not his pawn.
So long as men embrace the later year,
So long lives love from those who hold no fear.

My fever dreams of autumn when it's too damn hot. #natureart #traditionalpainting #gouache #acryllic #sketchbook #treesofseptember
Making loose thumbnails, trying to manifest cooler weather. This isn't really autumn, it's just the autumn I can visualize when it's 35 Degrees outside.
WIP, anger at the heat wave has manifested in a rather pretty #gouache and #acrylic painting if I do say so myself. 😆Full artwork coming soon. -This one is going to be a poster! #autumn #treesoftwitter #ilovetrees #traditionalpainting
Happy 1st of September and hellooooo autumn!
Let the leaves change shade, the air turn crisp, and may all of your coffees be spiced with pumpkin.
Bring on the witching season...

THOUSANDS OF BOARS HELP WITH THE FOUNDING OF YOSHIMINE-DERA (善峯寺)🐗🐗🐗🐗-

The temple's huge grounds (10,000 square metres) sprawl up the upper slopes of Shaka-dake (釈迦岳-631m). In the Middle Ages it was known as Nishiyama-no-miya (西山宮) and was classed as a Monzeki temple (the abbot was of imperial blood), with over 50 main structures. 2/13

My town #Coonabarabran #Coona sits in NW of #NSW . Just North is the #Pilliga forest, to south & west #WarrumbungleNatPark & #SidingSpringObservatory. Rich farmlands surround it. But it is under threat from #climatebreakdown #schoolstrike4climate
#Coona district is in severe #drought & #waterstress our council Dam is so low that new bores had to be sunk for town’s supply. Farming families are worn down with feeding stock & stress. Paddocks are baked dry #climatebreakdown is reality #SchoolStrike4Climate
In our gardens, forests and farms trees are dying as we face our second #autumn in drought. We are reliant on bore water from the #GreatArtesianBasin to survive #climatebreakdown is a daily reality. #SchoolStrike4climate
