Season of Balance: 5 Mystical Ways to Celebrate the Fall Equinox ✨🍂
It’s (almost) Libra Season, witches!
As night and day start to merge into a moment of equilibrium, the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere offers us a sacred turning point. This is a time to pause and reflect, honor the harvest of the prior season, and prepare for winter’s introspection.
As we step into the balance of the equinox, let’s explore five witchy ways to celebrate the transition.
1. Craft a Gratitude Ritual
The fall equinox, also known as Mabon in the pagan wheel of the year, is a time to reflect on the results of our labor. To set the stage for your gratitude ritual, gather seasonal elements, such as acorns, pine cones, and crisp, fallen leaves, and then create a simple altar.
If you’re not drawn or don’t have easy access to the natural world, you can easily choose items you associate with fall—warm spices, orange candles, a stray thread from a cozy sweater, or apple cider.
Light a candle for your altar, and take a beat to visualize the harvest of your own life—be that the physical, material, relational, or spiritual aspects. If you feel called to, write these items down on a list. This ritual helps you align your energy with the season and prepare for the introspective, slower months ahead.
If this option is not accessible to you, you can simply focus on an image in your mind that represents autumn to you and focus on the gratitude you feel for what has transpired in your life. Even 30 seconds of this practice can help honor the shift of the seasons.
2. Perform a Balance Spell
The fall equinox embodies the balance between light and dark, making it a perfect time for intentions, spells, and rituals focused on achieving more balance and harmony in your life. It’s no coincidence that Libra season — an astrological sign that corresponds with the scales — begins near the Fall Equinox
You can craft a balance spell by using symbols of equilibrium, such as black and white candles, or scales. As you perform the spell, set intentions for balancing different aspects of your life—such as work and rest, material and spiritual, friends vs. family, or emotional and physical health.
If spellwork is not part of your practice, you can simply create intentions around balance, knowing that the energy of the season is supportive of you.
3. Create a Seasonal Vision Board
Celebrate the equinox’s energy of transition and renewal by creating a vision board focused on your seasonal goals. Collect images, symbols, and words that resonate with your desires for the coming season. Place your board somewhere you can see it several times a day.
Infuse a little magic into your vision board while pulling tarot or oracle cards to help guide your intentions, light a candle as you do your board, or gather with other spiritual-minded folks to create your boards together.
