Magical Autumn Equinox

In the colorful robes of Autumn

Mother Earth casts her spell,

as celebrations of thanksgiving

bring the light and dark to meld.

Now the harvest seed is chosen

to sow in the rebirth of light,

with hope for new beginnings

in the magical cycle of life.

I get so excited when autumn begins to appear! The crisp coolness of the air, the balancing of day and night, the changing colors of the landscape, and the dance of falling leaves all signal a time of change and re-alignment. It’s a season of magic for Mother Earth and for us too.

The Autumn Equinox invites us to embrace balance, celebrate abundance, and prepare for transformation. By aligning with the natural rhythms of the season, we can experience a profound sense of renewal and harmony, making this equinox a truly potent time of the year.

The Autumn Equinox is one of the two points in the year when daylight and darkness are equal. This natural balance is a powerful symbol of equilibrium and the interconnectedness of opposites, reminding us to seek balance in our own lives—finding harmony between work and rest, action and contemplation, giving and receiving.

Autumn is the season of harvest and celebrating the earth’s abundance. It encourages gratitude for what has been achieved and the abundance that life has to offer—reflecting on our blessings, appreciating the fruits of our labors, and sharing with others.

As the leaves turn and fall, autumn invites a period of reflection and release. The imagery of shedding leaves reminds us to let go of what no longer serves us—whether that’s old habits, emotional baggage, or past experiences. This season encourages introspection and personal growth—to evaluate and realign our goals and values, making space for new beginnings.

The veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinnest during autumn—especially around Samhain on October 31st. This time is ripe for connecting with ancestors and exploring the spiritual realm. Creating sacred space for reflection, engaging in meditation, and working with divination are guiding practices that are especially powerful and enlightening during this season.

Spending time outdoors in autumn bathes us in the beauty and magic of the season, helping us realize the connectiveness we share with all that surrounds us. The constant change, ebb and flow, death and rebirth are the natural cycles of all life, and Mother Earth can guide us to celebrate and flourish—as she does—within it all.

As you navigate this transitional time, the support of balancing Reiki sessions, harmonizing Flower Essences, and guiding Tarot readings can help illuminate your own inner magic with new perspectives, clarity and empowerment. I’d be honored to meet you on the healing path.

Blessings,
