What is the Autumn Equinox? Astronomically it marks the sun’s crossing above the Earth’s equator, moving from north to south. In the Northern hemisphere we transition into fall, in the Southern Hemisphere they transition to Spring. (September) This is all caused by the earth’s tilt on its axis and ceaseless orbit around the sun.
The energy begins to shift; whether you notice the changing trees or the slight drop in temperature, there is something in that brisk air. The autumn is known as the time to harvest, if you have a garden you know what I mean. Spiritually, it is the time to acknowledge your growth and evolution. Reflect on the intentions set in the spring, which of those spiritual seeds are ready to harvest? Which ones need more time? Just as importantly, which ones do you need to let go?
Creating an altar, I truly believe there is no wrong way to create your altar. Intuitively you might be drawn to add items that are found in this season. Bringing the outside in, flowers, gourds, adding candles and anything that feels meaningful to you. (I am a lover of crystals so those often are included)
**Candle colours are connected to what you manifest, if this is to honour the energy of the equinox the colours would be red, orange, maroon, brown or gold.**
Gratitude Ritual, after the reflection make a gratitude list. The list can be made of any events, intentions that manifested themselves, choices you’ve made, feelings you’ve had, it could even be a really delicious meal you ate. This list can be added to the altar or you can meditate with the list. Hold it to the heart, breathe in for the count 4 and exhale for the count of 4. Allow yourself to be this energy of gratitude. Celebrate you because you are an amazing being.
Be in Nature, go for a walk, hike (with some cozy layers), or simply just stand outside.
Embrace the breeze, embrace the rustling of the trees, embrace the changes coming. Just like in nature, we prepare to let go, what is weighing us down, let the breeze take it, what is holding back, let it simply just slip away.
