mmm bonfires

I'm starting to smell woodsmoke.  The leaves are turning golden, and the light contains a magic like windchimes .  It's time for bonfires.  Mmm lovely.  I do like a nice bonfire.  This year I have the space for a massive one.  I'm going to start creating it tomorrow, and it will grow for a whole month until it becomes a beautiful towering inferno on 5th November.  I'm planning a bonfire party, with jacket potatoes and fairy lights, and possibly bonfire toffee.  How exciting.  I do love a good old primal ritual to celebrate the seasons and turn with the earth's cycles.  For me it will be a time for ceremonially burning all the stuff I don't want in my life, to make space for the things I want to welcome in.  Can't wait.
