This Week's Soul Vitamins
This week begins with the Autumn Equinox, a threshold moment of equal light and dark. Day and night hold one another in perfect poise before the wheel turns deeper into shadow. It’s a pause, a breath, a mirror.
The Equinox invites us to ask:
Where am I giving too much? Where am I receiving too little?
What harvests am I celebrating, and what am I ready to release into the dark?
This is not a week of rushing.
It’s a week of reckoning and gratitude.
A time to gather what you’ve grown, acknowledge the work behind it, and gently re-balance the scales before moving forward.
As the season tips, so do we. From outward bloom to inward root. From sowing to storing. From endless doing to more mindful being.
✨ Weekly Focus Prompt:
“This week, I honour the balance of light and dark within and around me.”
Whisper it at sunrise and sunset.
Write it in your journal.
Let it steady you as the season shifts.
🍂 Autumn Equinox Ritual – Monday 22nd September: Harvest gratitude. Restore balance.
- Light two candles: one for light, one for dark
- Place in front of you items that represent your harvest (achievements, blessings, moments of joy)
- Write down what you’re proud of, and read it aloud as an offering of gratitude
- On a second paper, write what feels heavy or out of balance, bury or burn it, returning it to the earth
- Close by eating or drinking something seasonal with reverence (apples, bread, wine, or cider)
🌿 Ally of the Week: Apple
Energetics: Wholeness | Blessing | Balance
Eat mindfully, leave offerings of apple slices to the land, or meditate with its star-shaped core revealed.
Apple carries the wisdom of balance: sweetness held in earthiness, endings within beginnings.
🕯️Mini Ritual Challenge – Honour the Turning
- Bring something seasonal into your home: leaves, seeds, apples, acorns
- Write a gratitude list for what this year has given you so far
- Create one small act of balance: as you give (time, energy, kindness), also consciously receive
📓 In your Magickal Living journal, explore:
What am I harvesting from this year so far?
Where in my life feels out of balance, and how can I restore it?
What do I choose to carry into the darker months, and what do I lay down?
This week, let the Equinox be your sacred mirror.
Gather your gold.
Honour the shadow.
And step into the next season in balance.
