Autumnal Equinox - marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. This is one of the two times in the year when day and night are of approximately equal length because the Sun is directly above the Equator.

Happy autumnal equinox to everyone in the Northern Hemisphere.
Autumn and spring are my favourite seasons of the year.
I’m looking forward to seeing the trees and bushes change colour in the near future and reserve the right to share photos when it happens.

Good Morning #Canada
Today, we celebrate the #FallEquinox, not to be confused with the Chevy Equinox, which is an entirely different thing. The Fall Equinox means summer is officially over, and some of you missed 3 weeks of nice weather when you gave up back on Labour Day. Right now, day and night are roughly equal, more or less, across Canada, but our days are getting shorter for the next several months, until December 21st-ish. Start thinking about snow tires and Christmas shopping because the calendar moves quickly this time of year. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, please ignore this message.Some bonus content - your Fall 2025 #Horoscope. It's from the CBC, our national news service, so you know it must be accurate. I read mine (Virgo) several times and haven't got a clue what it means. So I've got that going for me.

For the change of seasons, I used to do all relevant #spellwork, #cleansing, decor, card pulls, and other seasonal #rituals in one day during the Solstices or Equinoxes. I've realized that's not really the move given my #AuDHD brain lol. So lately I'm slowly doing some cool tasks leading up to the #Fall #Equinox.
This is also my first change of season since deciding to do semi-regular screen breaks/dopamine detoxes, and I'm looking forward to it! I took my first ever intentional detox back in July, and holy shit, I felt so calm during it. Going forward, I'm planning on doing them for 5-7 days during Solstices and Equinoxes, so my first seasonal detox is coming up this Monday. I get overstimulated easily, so I'm hoping that disconnecting from so much stimuli semi-regularly is enough to keep me regulated. I'm thinking about adding a short 2-3 day social media break mid-way through seasons too if I need it.

Embracing Samhain: The Witch’s New Year
As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp with the scent of fallen leaves, we find ourselves approaching one of the most significant celebrations in the pagan calendar—Samhain. This ancient festival, which marks the transition from the harvest season to winter, is not just a time to celebrate the bounty of the earth, but also to honor our ancestors and invite the magic of the beyond into our lives.
What is Samhain?
Samhain, pronounced “sow-in” or “sah-wen,” originates from the Gaelic word for “summer’s end.” Celebrated on the night of October 31st to November 1st, it is a pivotal time in the Wheel of the Year for many practitioners of witchcraft and paganism. In Celtic culture, Samhain was traditionally seen as a moment when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest, allowing spirits, ancestors, and otherworldly beings to traverse freely.
Historical Significance
Historically, Samhain signified the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Communities would gather to celebrate the abundance of the land, inviting spirits and deities to join in their feasting. It was also a time for divination, as people sought insight into the coming year and beyond. Rituals often included lighting bonfires, making offerings, and preparing specific foods to nourish the spirits.
Modern Practices
Today, Samhain is celebrated by witches and those who embrace the pagan traditions with a blend of old customs and contemporary interpretations. Here are some ways to honor this magnificent season:
1. **Create an Ancestor Altar**:
Dedicate a space to honor your lineage. Decorate it with photos, heirlooms, and meaningful items that connect you to your ancestors. Light candles and offer food or drink as a way to invite their presence.
2. **Ritual Bonfire**:
While it might not be practical for everyone, if possible, gather around a bonfire with friends or family. Use this opportunity to reflect on the past year, share stories, and let go of things you no longer wish to carry by tossing them into the flames.
3. **Divination Practices**:
Samhain is an excellent time to practice divination. Whether using tarot cards, runes, or scrying, take this opportunity to seek guidance from the spiritual realm. Write your questions down, set your intentions, and listen to the messages that come through.
4. **Crafting Jack-o’-Lanterns**:
Carving pumpkins is a fun activity that has its roots in ancient rituals. Use the jack-o’-lantern as a way to ward off negative spirits, and consider placing it on your doorstep to greet visitors with warmth and protection.
5. **Nature Walks**:
As nature begins to fade into dormancy, take a moment to connect with the land. Gather fallen leaves, acorns, and other treasures to use in your rituals or decorations. Reflect on the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Honoring the Spirits
During Samhain, it’s essential to express gratitude and respect toward the spirits. Whether you believe in the afterlife or simply appreciate the lessons learned from those who have passed, acknowledging their influence can provide comfort and guidance. You might choose to hold a simple ceremony where you light a candle for each ancestor, sharing a memory or a blessing for them.
A Time for Reflection
This festival also encourages personal reflection. As the year winds down, consider journaling about your experiences, your growth, and what you hope to manifest in the future. Embracel0 the energy of transformation as you make space for new beginnings.
Conclusion
Samhain is a deeply powerful and meaningful time in the witch’s calendar. By embracing its rich traditions, honoring the past, and welcoming the energies of the unseen, we can fully experience the magic it brings. As we gather with loved ones and open our hearts to the mysteries of life and death, let us celebrate the blessings of our ancestors and prepare for the cycles ahead. Whether through solitary practice or community gatherings, may your Samhain be filled with light, love, and profound connection to the spirit world. Blessed be!

Happy Autumnal Equinox to all in the Northern Hemisphere! I thought it would be nice to celebrate by sharing a poem I wrote, originally published in 2018, that captures some of the feeling of the autumnal turn.

One day you turn around and it’s summer
Next day you turn around and it’s Fall
And the springs and the winters of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all?
