What's that at the end of the road? The Sun. Many towns have roads that run east-west, and on two days each year, the Sun rises and sets right down the middle. Yesterday, in some parts of the world (today in others), is one of those days: an equinox. Not only is this a day of equal night and day time, but also a day when the sun rises precisely to the east and sets due west. Displayed here is a picturesque rural road in Alberta, Canada that runs approximately east-west. The featured image was taken during the September Equinox of 2021, but the geometry remains the same every year. In many cultures, this March equinox is taken to be the first day of a season, typically spring in Earth's northern hemisphere, and autumn in the south.

Spec Evo Vault, Rainbow Squid

Among the largest organism of "The Future is Wild" timeline, as well the largest squid and animal on the planet in 200 M.y. in the future, the Rainbow Squid is one of the extraordinary representatives of how far cephalopods achieved in terms of evolutionary adaptations on color change

Morphologically speaking it still maintains the average squid shape with a large mantle and equally sized arms, although these not longer serve purpose on hunting and seem to be only relying on their main tentacles under the flattened horizontal row of arms that placidly undulate.

Anatomically and behaviorally, however, there were some remarkable changes, including the now longer lifespans that extend up to a century. With such long life, they were able to develop their intelligence further in a way that is capable to control their chromatophores extraordinarily.

This animal is capable of mimicking its surrounding environment to the point it can turn invisible in any direction, imitating the upper light of the surface or the dark bottom of the ocean, as well is capable of produce varied flashing multi color patterns tht works out for warning of any minor intruder swimming towards them.

This trick also helps them to hunt down the local Ocean Flishes, this thanks that their flat arms can imitate the school of Silverswimmers, and when one of these gets into the range, the flish is caught off guard with one of their tentacles.

Normally they wander across the ocean solitary with no boundaries but once a year in the full moon in autum equinox, they reunite in the south region facing the supercontinent in order to mate, and like giant oversized birds of paradise with LED screens for ornamental organs, the males to court a female display a spectacle of colors and lights.

Although with their size, and with the ecological vacuum left of the last mass extinction eliminated a chunk of possible competitors and dangers, they are still vulnerable to the few predators around, specially to the attack of large groups of sharkopaths, derived fasts sharks characterized by their coordinated method of hunting that is guided by electroreceptors and flashlights patterns across their bodies that allow them to communicate the location of a prey (they will have their space in an spec vault entry).

If one of those is capable of locate and attract enough individuals, a Rainbow squid only hope is to remain hidden with their camouflage, and even with that, panic can eventually end up causing it to lose their veil and leave them as the dinner of the far future sharks.

Notes

-There is something bugging about the hunting behavior of the Rainbow Squid that seems to be so inefficient regarding the nutrient value would offer just to hunt few flishes in a single day, for an animal that their size is as big as a whale which ingest a single animal of the size of a seagull, there should more suitable or preferable prey, and we are talking about an animal with one of the largest brains on 200 million years, is like a guy hunting bees and just ate them one at the time.

-I would have liked the body plan of this animal was more varied than just bein a big squid with large flat tentacles, something on that size as well living far in the future likely would change further and considering how diverse are squids and octopuses it could offer even more possible shapes apart of the streamlined surface coleoids, considering the rainbow squid is mostly an ambush predator and probably is a descendant of deep water species.

since I'm currently bedridden due to health issues, I can't celebrate mabon/autum Equinox like I would like to. So I made a Mabon pumpkin. It's got cinnamon essential oil and pumpkin chi scented oil inside for a nice fall scent. I am really proud of crocheting my first pumpkin :D

Mabon is a pagan holiday with celtic origins to celebrate the second harvest of the season. It falls on the autumn equinox, which is today/tomorrow. It is when the sun is out for the same time as the moon, and days will be getting even shorter.

It's like a pagan Thanksgiving where we count our blessings and share in the fruits of the harvest. Now, this doesn't automatically mean farming either. In modern-day society, the harvest can be about our accomplishments and how much we have grown. It's also a holiday about focusing on balancing our lives as we head into winter times.

Normally, I'd be out walking in the forest, collecting acorns and other gifts of the forest. I unfortunately can't walk without pain right now so here, I made a pumpkin with essential oils. 🎃

I am thankful there are things I can still craft while bedridden. It is hard not to be in my crafting desk, making tools for my craft. I am also thankful I can write. Maybe I'll try to make up a Mabon poem. The last thing I am thankful for is the people in my life who are taking care of me during this difficult time in my life.

Another last tidbit. In norse culture, weaving and fiber crafts were heavily respected. It was thought of as magic.

I had a little tiny Autum Equinox celebration tonight. I made a simmer pot on the stove with apple, orange, cinnamon, and black peppercorns. I also got a tomato and Parmesan focaccia bread to eat. It’s quiet. It’s small. But it feels so good to be out and practicing again. Blessings to you. Honor to Persephone.

Autumnal Equinox 2021

We’ve made it through. Blessed Autumnal Equinox or Mabon to you!

Unfortunately one of our number has gotten Covid (luckily the vaccination has really curbed the worst of her symptoms) so celebrating the Equinox will be a solitary affair. Here's how I'll be observing:

My fig tree has matured enough to produce fruit and she has showed out. I’ll make a salad of figs, prosciutto, pecans, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette sweetened with maple syrup on mixed greens.

An (almost) one pot pasta dinner of farfalle, spinach, butternut squash, cream, parmesan, and sage sausage. I like to add a little nutmeg to dishes like this. I will use some of the garlic I grew last year, planted on Samhain.

A loved one is making brioche pumpkin cinnamon rolls (so fancy!)

I’ll be making loaves of bread and apple purses to leave at the doors of my coven members.

Change the seasonal wreath and begin decorating for Halloween (this is a self imposed limitation otherwise I’d likely start in August and there’s only so much eccentricity I think my neighbors are willing to embrace from me)

Change the air and water filters. I mentioned before but the Equinox and Solstices are a useful way to remember to do those maintenance items that are important but often overlooked.

Dedicate new tools and objects I've collected to Hekate.

Welcome the return of the dark end of the year by lighting a lantern and keeping it on the front porch.

Khaire 🍂🍁🥧💀🖤

Vegan pumpkin spice banana bread (without pumpkin!)

I’ve made this amazing chocolate banana bread from Biance Zapathka a few times. To give it a lovely autumn spin, I reduced the amount of cocoa and added a teaspoon of pumpkin spice/gingerbread mixture instead.

You can use store-bought, but if, like me you already have a lot of spices in your kitchen you can make your own mix:

Mix whatever you have of these. Go easy on the cloves! They can easily be overpowering. Finely grind with a mortar and pestle, if needed.

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Cloves

Coriander

Allspice

Ground ginger

Star anis
