How do seasons affect your approach to magick and spirituality?

I don't believe this is only me but different seasons affect my spirituality in a different way. Rainy days and snowy days allow me to connect with my inner self very much and the interest for magick is over the roof. When summer comes, I am so down. I just hate summer. What about you?

P.S. I really have no idea where to post topics on this forum, everything is confusing to me.

Since human beings are part of nature, it's only natural that changes in nature will cause changes in you. You can't (and shouldn't) consider yourself in isolation.

I do astrological magic so the shifting daylight and nighttime affect when I practice. This can be highly irritating to my worldly responsibilities but I do find the periods of prolonged night to be more cathartic, mystical, and the winter brings initiatory experiences. Death and house ghosts pick up around October, December usually culminates in a tension release. I don't notice much occult activity around Spring and Summer but my magic becomes more focused on action and activity around those times.

I used to get seasonal depression in the winters before I crossed my first initiation. Now winters are seasons of catharsis and spirits for me. Though they still come with intense emotional struggles centered around psychology and my personal shortcomings. I enjoy it now though. Winter feels like the acceptance stage of grief to me now.

As a rule, I follow the Wheel of Seasons for the harvest correspondences. Early summer is for sowing, late summer for reaping, winter is for conserving until the solstice, then you share from what you have saved up because you know more is coming soon to replace it. It's metaphorical but it's not, it's very literal outside of the fact that I'm not a literal farmer.

I think it's also relevant to add that I factor in the phase of the moon too. Waning moon is for pushing away energy, waxing moon is for pulling it in. Full moon is the time to empower, finalize or otherwise give a working that "last push". New moon is a time for cleansing or beginning a new working. So for example, I'll start designing a sigil around the new moon, finalizing it and empowering it on the full moon. I use a 72-hour window for the new/full moons for my workings.

Transition seasons are a time to ground in nature. I engage with the world as though there are two seasons, each lasting for approximately six months. Summer and winter. Spring and autumn last for somewhere between two weeks and a month, so I don't acknowledge them as their own seasons typically. I do appreciate them as they pass by though.

eta: Oh, and while I do pay respect to the solstices, I follow my own internal calendar for the seasons. I'm known among friends and family for watching the weather and suddenly announcing the season has changed, regardless of how long the calendar says there is until the official start. I'm right more often than not.
