Just wondering what my fellow Pagans will be doing for the 2011 Autumnal Equinox (assuming you celebrate the Sabbats, of course).
I'm thinking about harvesting a bunch of acorns (if they are ready in time) and crafting some homemade acorn meal/flour. I hear some varieties (especially the white oaks) have a pleasant taste once the tannins are removed through boiling. I plan on using the meal to make really hearty and dense breads. Half I'll sweeten with honey and maybe add some apples to the batter, the other I will use some wild onions and garlic to create a savory flavor.
I'll be sure to leave the best two loaves of each batch as an offering to the tree, share the rest with friends and family, and then perhaps retire to the backyard to relax outside and enjoy the changing colors of the foliage around me. I love this time of year!
