This thread is for people who live in places where it never snows to discuss the differences of the energy of the land and the seasons where we live. What correspondences do you use? Do you implement any of the beliefs and practices of the first peoples to settle the land you live on?
In my case, the usual pagan/wiccan Wheel of the Year doesn't apply when the daily average high is in the 80s all year long and, since the sun is down at 6:30 even in December, the days don't feel particularly short. (ALOOOOOHA!) The energy of the land here is also considerably different than that of the mainland continent; rereading through standard pagan/wiccan rituals, I'm struck with how much they simply don't apply here.
This sacred and living good red earth requires its own recognition and set of rituals. If there are any other people living in Hawai'i here, we can start a Hawaiian spirituality thread. I've looked into Huna, but when I discovered it was pretty much a wholesale fabrication by an enthusiastic but misguided foreigner I ceased my researches.
I'd be very interested in hearing about -your- own experiences if you live in a sunbelt area or, especially, if you live someplace else entirely other than North America or Europe.
