Clearly I don't know the Hebrew calendar. Turns out that Rosh Hashanah falls in the seventh month- new year in the seventh month, with resonances with the whole idea of shabbat-as-the-seventh day...This new year is about turning inward and casting out, banishing the sticky shit that's clung for too long and folding inward. It fits really well with certain goddess-tradition interpretations of Samhain, which is awesome for me of course. A whole season of casting off the old year and preparing for the birth of the new. Interestingly, the first month of the Hebrew calendar is the one with Pesach in it. Probably the calendar, in addition to being lunar, is based on harvests. I really need to research this. My metaproject may very well be magickal nondualistic interpretations of Jewish mysticism and its earth-based traditions...see if I can incorporate some gender analysis in there along the Tree of Life as well...Oh g-d there is too much to learn.
