Pagan autumn festivities have a long historical significance and continue to be celebrated in various cultures around the world. These festivities are deeply rooted in ancient beliefs and rituals, and often revolve around the harvest season, the changing of seasons, and the honoring of ancestors. One of the most well-known pagan autumn festivities is Samhain, which originated in ancient Celtic culture and is celebrated on October 31st. Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and it is believed that during this time the boundary between the living and the spirit world is thinnest. People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off evil spirits and honor their ancestors. Another pagan autumn festival is Mabon, which is celebrated around the Autumn Equinox in late September.

You'll also find tons of other products made from things you'll find on the farm, from painted duck eggs to goat milk lotions and soaps. It's a knitters paradise, with everything you could need to start creating soft, fabulous alpaca products of your own.

They raise the alpacas for their fine, ultrasoft fiber which is used to make a variety of products from yarns and knitted items to stuffed animals and very durable rugs. They re friendly and love having visitors, though their owner said they can be a bit like cats they ll let you know when they want attention and ignore you otherwise.

Another pagan autumn festival is Mabon, which is celebrated around the Autumn Equinox in late September. Mabon is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest and to celebrate the balance between light and dark. It is also a time to reflect on the changing seasons and the cycle of life and death.

“Alpacas are a little like cats so it they want attention they’ll come and get it if they don’t,” said McMillan, who then laughed.

In Norse mythology, the pagan festival of Winter Finding, or Winter Night, is celebrated during the autumnal equinox as well. This festival marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter, and is a time to prepare for the long, dark months ahead. It is also a time to honor the gods and ancestors and seek their blessings for the coming winter. Overall, pagan autumn festivities are a way for people to connect with nature, honor their ancestors, and celebrate the changing seasons. These ancient traditions continue to be celebrated today, bringing communities together and providing a sense of connection to the natural world. Whether it's lighting bonfires, wearing costumes, or giving thanks for the harvest, these autumn festivals remind us of the importance of embracing change and celebrating life..
