Spiritual meaning of November: culmination of personal stages
November is a month of transition from fall to winter. There are still sunny days but cold and rainy days are beginning to predominate. The spiritual meaning of November is related to the end of a cycle, of personal and seasonal phases.
It is time to collect some crops such as carrots, pumpkins, green beans, potatoes, onions, red cabbage or leeks. In some countries there is a festivity of thanks to God for the good harvests offered by Mother Earth. Thanksgiving Day is probably the most famous; it takes place in the United States, although it is also popular in countries such as Canada or Brazil.

Spiritual Meaning of November: Thanksgiving Day
The modern tradition of this celebration arises in 1621 in Plymouth, located in the present state of Massachusetts. The European settlers who arrived the previous year decided to celebrate a feast of thanks to God for the good results obtained from their harvests. A tribe of Wampanoag Indians attended the party and they ended up fraternizing and sharing the food of both.
Another theory refers to the fact that the harvest of the previous year had not been good and that the colonists had nothing to eat. The Indians then offered them seeds and taught them how to fish. The tradition continued each year but was not considered a national holiday in the United States until 1789 at the initiative of George Washington. During this date, families from all over the country gather to celebrate this special day with the people they love the most.

The hopes of what is to come serve as a nutrient throughout the warrior’s rest. It may be the time when we end a relationship, change jobs or go through a crisis of faith; an end of stage that although disturbing do not have to be negative. You just have to wait and see how events unfold in the future.
