Me too, it's so fascinating! I can't wait to deep dive into seasonal cultures from different regions of the world (Asia, South America etc) but I'm focusing on North America and Europe for now.
Thanks Cate, that's the plan. I've been working on it in the background. Not sure who would be interested in publishing it but I shall try none-the-less.
We are close to Darug lands which call july august time of year Dagara season cold and frosty. However Dharawal people more to South and on Coast have a short season In August for longer days and cold winds called Tugarah Gunya’marri. And it is cold here today !
You've just sent me down a research rabbit hole. I love learning about all this and I've even started a database to record First Nations seasons and signs. I hope you enjoyed Brigid's Day!
I have tho sadly I didn't make it to the park so will be hunting for Imbolc signs tomorrow. You are a true researcher, looking forward to the hearing about the journey of this database, such great resources online now!
Beautiful, Genevieve! I love the connection through ritual from place to place, and how different peoples throughout the world honour the seasons.

I'd love to see all this collected in a beautiful book... or you should put it together as an academic project!

So lovely to start Imbolc today reading your beautiful post. Am going to wander my park today in Wangal Country to see what is just blossoming. 🙏💚
Oh that sounds lovely Sally! Let me know what you see. Do you know the Wangal seasons?
