Stonehenge Autumn Equinox Celebrations. ☀️
#Mabon
The September equinox (or southward equinox) is the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward.
Because of differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the September equinox may occur from September 21 to 24.
At the equinox, the Sun, as viewed from the equator, rises due east and sets due west.
Before the southward equinox, the Sun rises and sets more northerly, and afterwards, it rises and sets more southerly.
The equinox may be taken to mark the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical autumn (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere, while marking the end of astronomical winter and the start of astronomical spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.

 Julius Caesar Ibbetson (1759-1817), ‘Stone Henge 7 Miles N.W. of Salisbury’. Hand-coloured etching and aquatint on paper, from England, 1791. :: [British Museum]
* * * *
Stonehenge was carefully designed to align with the solstice, marking the extreme limits of the sun’s movements – the word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (“sun”) and sistere (“to stand still”).
The enormous sarsen stones and smaller bluestones were precisely arranged to frame two particular events in the year: the sunrise at summer solstice, and the sunset at winter solstice.
[British Museum] :: [h/t Scott Horton]

“When the second stage of Stonehenge was built on Salisbury Plain c. 2700 BC, it could not have been called Stonehenge, which is an English name. The English had not yet arrived. The English language had not been invented. The Plain would have been there; but it could not have been named after Salisbury, since Salisbury itself had not been founded. One may deduce that a year equivalent to 2700 BC once existed; but no such date could have been conceived before the birth of Christ or the concept of a Common Era. There was no country called 'France', and nothing equivalent to it; there was no 'England', and there was no 'Britain', and no 'Brittany'. As yet, there were no Ancient Gauls, no Ancient Britons, and no Ancient Bretons. This holds good even if each of those later communities would owe much to the gene pool of their unidentifiable predecessors.” ― Norman Davies, The Isles: A History
