Rounding the Year: Autumnal Michaelmas Daisies
The flowers I most associate with late September and early autumn are Michaelmas daisies. They are blooming profusely in my garden and I photographed them, as you can see above.
Sandra Lawrence, in her book The Witch’s Garden, writes that Michaelmas daisies are flowers of farewell – and this time of year is when we bid goodbye to summer. They’re named after the Archangel Michael, whose feast day is September 29.
Michael is honoured by followers of many spiritual paths and magical traditions. According to A Dictionary of Angels by Gustav Davidson, Michael was originally worshipped as a god in his own right by the Chaldeans. In ceremonial magic Michael can be called upon for protection. He’s associated with the element of fire and can be named as the guardian of the southern compass point when casting a circle for magic, along with Raphael in the east, Gabriel in the west and Uriel in the north.
