Today's Earthy Thursday feed from the Pagan News Beagle includes a preview of gorgeous autumn colors; wild nature invades the city; trying to catch that Icelandic volcano; get buried, feed a tree; tending graves for Samhain.

Earthy Thursday is here — and what a bumper crop of planetary news!

Enjoy your Thursday!
