EQUINOX RITUALS

Day and night meet on the same scale; the equinox is the gateway to balance.

On equinox days, bid farewell to what you must let go of; intend to welcome what you’ve called forth. Lighten your load with gratitude; root yourself in balance.

Simana says, “Every intention is a seed, and the equinox is the time to plant it in the soil of your heart.”

When the

sun and moon are in balance, the sky whispers this to humanity:

“Neither night nor day, neither light nor darkness… It is all one whole.”

September

23 is also a time, in the ancient beliefs of the Turks, to reconcile with nature and give thanks to the earth. This threshold marks the moment of bidding farewell to summer’s bounty and preparing for winter’s silence.

The

Fall Equinox is a time to give thanks for summer’s gifts, to let go of the burdens of the past, and to preserve the fire within us for the dark days ahead. It is a sacred balance that reminds us of harmony, justice, and inner equilibrium.

On this day, when

light and darkness are equal, a balance ritual is performed with an awareness of the concepts of wisdom and justice.

This period is also harvest time, and you can use equinox rituals to let go of certain things.

Ritual Steps

Clear

the Space

First, purify the ritual space. Cleanse the area by spraying a few drops of the Seven Gates Key; this will purify both the energy and your intention.

Light

the Candle

Light

a candle. This candle represents the light that will continue to burn within us during the dark days.

Gratitude List

Write down the things you’re grateful for

this year. The fruits of your labor, the lessons you’ve learned, the experiences that have expanded your heart… Each one gains strength when put into words.

Letting-Go List

Write down the thoughts, beliefs, habits, or relationships that no

longer serve you on a separate piece of paper. Say goodbye to them with gratitude.

New Intention

Set an intention for the

coming season. It’s like a seed that will take root throughout the winter and sprout in the spring.

Burning

Burn the

Letting Go List in the flame of a candle. As the smoke rises into the sky, imagine your burdens drifting away from you. Keep your Gratitude List; hold your intention in your heart.

An important point to keep in mind when setting goals or intentions around the

Fall Equinox is our need for rest during the winter months.

Now is the time for creativity, new ideas, and planting some seeds, but don’t forget to give yourself permission to slow down during the winter, so that when spring arrives, you’ll have plenty of energy to keep moving forward.

Simana says:

“Balance lies in the harmony between light and darkness.

When you let go

with gratitude, space opens up for new seeds.

And your heart adds its own voice to the cosmic chorus.”
