Every season of the year is special and beautiful but most of us have one where we feel a little different than usual, a little more in tune with nature, or maybe with the night sky. Which one inspires your spiritual or magical leanings the most?

The changing seasons are so lovely - and I love the melancholy of autumn, the colours, the dramatic changes from foggy morning to blue-golden day and rainy evening.... One of my favorite poems, Eduard Mörike's Autumn Day, describes it better than I can. Oh, and Georg Trakl and Theodor Storm also wrote lovely Autumn poetry. It's a time of loss, when the leaves fall, and loss is such a bitter and basic human condition, and learning to live with it so difficult. It's a time when we have to collect all our inner strength and that's what makes it so magical. Beauty and transience.

Autumn for me. My life changes in autumn -- I start new classes or go back to school, summer comes to an end and I have free time again, the colors in nature are amazing, and my allergies stop being an issue as the temperatures change (better sleeping weather, too). There's a feeling of purpose, as harvesting begins and people start thinking about the coming holiday season.

Also, Halloween!

It's winter for me, with its long and cold nights and Yuletide cheer (strangely).

No surprise to anyone, RavenOfSummer votes summer

I love the long light days, the warm nights, and the earth in full bloom. And I love being able to go outside without worrying about putting on shoes or a jacket.
