A Simple Autumnal Equinox Ritual

Let’s celebrate the Autumn Equinox!

For many years, cultures around the world have respected and celebrated the changing seasons, including the autumnal equinox.

The autumnal equinox is, of course, the time when the wheel of the year changes from summer to autumn.

Learn more about the spiritual meaning of the Wheel of the Year…or the Vernal Equinox.

As the autumnal equinox approaches, not only the weather changes, but also our own personal lives, activities and plans. We will all be spending more time indoors with our families and ourselves.

When the weather outside becomes colder, we are encouraged to turn inward. This is a place where we can face our hidden doubts and fears…and through reflection and healing, we can embrace and cultivate our highest authenticity, aspirations, and dreams.

Many different ancient cultures had powerful rituals, rituals, and feasts to honor and celebrate the spring equinox.

So how do we honor this powerful time of the autumnal equinox and take advantage of the blessings and opportunities it offers us now?

Celebrate your authenticity, reconnect with your inner light, and cultivate a powerful sense of balance and presence during the autumnal equinox with this simple ritual.

This can be modified to be used in both fall and spring, or to celebrate wherever you are on your soul journey in life.

No formal rituals or rituals are needed, but they can help you adapt to the changes happening within and around you. It marks the end of one season and the beginning of the next.

Setting the stage for the Vernal Equinox Festival

Find a peaceful and quiet space and spend some time celebrating the Spring Equinox…

You can also create a small equinox altar to “set the stage.”

Make an altar for the autumn equinox

The Equinox Altar is essentially a sacred space that you create, representing your connection to God, nature, and your inner light.

To create an equinox altar, find a special spot to decorate with colors that represent fall, balance, and harvest.

Incorporate fall symbols found in nature, such as pine cones, autumn leaves, pumpkins, squash, and gourds.

You can also include representations of each element, such as earth, air, fire, water, and ether.

Crystals, incense, fall essential oils, and anything else that has a high vibration and inspires you are great additions to your sacred space.

Remember that the Spring Equinox is a time of celebration, balance, and gratitude. To celebrate the new season of life you are about to step into, create your altar in a way that reflects this personally.

Start

Start by lighting a candle, burning sage, or diffusing essential oils.

Call upon your personal team of guides, angels, and Ascended Masters of Light.

Play relaxing music or listen to high vibrational meditation…

Breathe, relax, and be fully present in the present moment…and focus your attention inward.

If you haven’t listened to a guided meditation…go through every part of your body and feel yourself filling with light and deeply relaxing.

Imagine there is light around you. Breathe it in and feel your inner light becoming clearer and more vivid.

When you breathe light into each cell, your vibration increases and you become surrounded by light and love.

Just breathe, relax…

Enjoy the magic of connecting with your Light, your guides and angelic team, and attuning to the infinite possibilities available to you here and now.

After meditation…

Take a moment to reflect on the growth cycle that is about to culminate.

Inner development is one of the central themes of autumn, and a great way to honor this is through introspection and journaling.

Blow out the candles and pour some tea into a warm mug…

Or even better, make a healthy Equinox feast.

I love kicking off fall with a warm and hearty vegetable stew, roasted pumpkin, or comforting potato leek soup (vegan version, of course)…

What’s healthy, nutritious, delicious, and just feels like fall? So let’s go!

Crunchy apples, fresh figs, pears, nuts, pomegranates, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, beets, pumpkins… Just typing these words makes me excited to hear all the delicious flavors of fall!

Imagine your meal being filled with the most vivid light while you prepare it, cook it, and before you eat it.

(Or a snack…just an apple or pear is fine)

Set eating intentions that nourish and support you to enter the new season feeling renewed, refreshed, energized, and connected to your highest level of light.

Please enjoy~
