Cuivanya, the Autumn Equinox festival, celebrates our Mother God as the Ground of All Being and the Creatrix of the World. Its central symbol is the apple. The whole universe is but the manifestation of the Spirit of Dea. All things, from the vast galaxies to a blade of grass, are Divine Ideas in the Mind of Our Lady infused into material substance. Traditionally "the World" refers both to the particular world we inhabit (the ground beneath our feet and all that stands thereon or flies above it) and the entire cosmos, both physical and non-physical.

The first Festival of the Mysteries of Life season is Chelanya, the Golden Festival. It is celebrated on Kerea 22nd/August 1st. The dominant symbol of the festival is corn or wheat, which flourishes at the touch of the Sun, manifesting the rich Solar Gold upon the field of matter. The corn is also symbolic of sacrifice and resurrection, as it is cut down and grows again – in this connection it is usually paired with the sickle.

These are the last days of Moura, the fifth season and the thirteenth month. It will end soon with the feast of Kala, the Death of Our Lady, the end of the month, the end of the year, and symbolically, the end of the world. After that comes the time that is no time, the Day that has no Date, when we veil the statues and try as far as possible to act as if there were no future. Should that time miraculously pass; should the world and Our Lady somehow be reborn, there will be a glorious new year.
