Good Morning alt.magick,
and a happy vernal equinox to you all. :)
We have a beautiful thunderstorm here that has been going on all
night. It's quite spectacular.
I just wanted to wish everyone a great equinox, but if you want to
discuss the significance of the equinox to cultures and religions
around the world - well, this is alt.magick. :)

The further north or south you go, the more important the equinox becomes.

At the north pole, the six-month night lasts from the autumnal equinox to
the vernal equinox.
At the south pole, night lasts from the vernal equinox to the autumnal
equinox.
As we move from the poles towards the equator, the effect gradually becomes
a less significant event. At the equator, it has virtually no effect at
all.

Indigenous equatorial cultures don't, so far as I know.

Seasonal ceremonies arise in places where there are seasons that everyone
experiences, not just a few people experiencing seasons elsewhere.

That is completely untrue. It is much easier to navigate between the
tropics than it is above or below them.
