[net.religion] Autumnal equinox celebrations

[if you can read this line, you're sitting too close]

the equinox is coming up in a month, more or less, and i was
wondering if anyone out in net.land has ideas/suggestions for
personal celebrations/ceremonies/rituals.  most religions have
some type of "holy-day" at this time (e.g., Rosh Hoshannah),
(also some info was contained in some net.nlang.celt postings
re:  Stonehenge)

the obvious is the harvest ceremony.  i'm interested in other
traditions, so send personal/ethnic variations.

also coming up in a few months is the half-year cycle change
from goddess to god-king (warm to cold), and the wiccan new year.
anybody want to share ideas?

we all know that god/dess only lives if you celebrate.  God is dead.

Why celebrate the autumnal equinox?
(don't throw the question back at me; I want to why you are interested)
