Happy September! 🍂 September, in Old England, was called Haervest-monath (Harvest Month). This is the time to gather up the rest of the harvest and prepare for the winter months.

In fact, September 29 is Michaelmas, an ancient Celtic “Quarter Day” which marked the end of the harvesting season and was steeped in folklore.

Plus, this month we'll witness the Full Harvest Moon on September 26, marking the full Moon closest to the autumn equinox, which falls on September 22 this year. See more holidays, recipes, and reasons to celebrate at Almanac.com/September 🍂

🐇🐇 Don’t Forget to Say “Rabbit Rabbit” Tomorrow Morning!

September 1st is almost here — and according to an old folk tradition, saying “Rabbit Rabbit” as the very first words you speak on the first day of the month is supposed to bring good luck for the month ahead.

The exact origins are a little mysterious, but versions of the superstition have been passed down for generations in Britain and America.

So when you wake up tomorrow morning, before you say anything else…

Rabbit Rabbit! 🐇🐇

Do you follow this old tradition?
