Holidays and Holy Days

It’s the Equinox! But does it feel more like early Summer? We perceive the seasonal changes, and some find them holy, but is climate change affecting our connection to the Wheel of the Year? This Sunday, we’ll celebrate our Spring Equinox and hear what Melly has to say about “Shifting Seasons.”
