Collection: Mabon + Autumn Equinox + Fall

Welcome in the season of Autumn with abundance and gratitude! It is pumpkin spice season for those to whom it brings joy. We are thinking about sweaters and cozy evenings; candles and glowing lights. 

It is the time of year for the trees to show us their brilliant colors that have always been there as the trees stop photosynthesis and the last of the chlorophyll is turned into sugar and moves into the inner part of the tree branches, trunk, and roots. For them it is time to rest and sleep. We get to do this every night but they do it every year. They teach us how to let go of that which no longer serves us.

New Moon will occur September 10th in the sign of Virgo. Time to clean house and get organized. Try doing this with openness and understanding life's imperfections. Take things in baby steps and be gentle with yourself.

Autumn Equinox will be on September 22nd in Denver this year. It is a time of equal balance, a time to reflect, and new beginnings. It is the time when we prepare for going into the dark time of the year, a time for inner workings. or spellwork related to protection and security is appropriate now, as are workings for self-confidence, prosperity, harmony and balance. If you are one who struggles with seasonal depression during the fall and winter months, use this time to set an intention for inner peace and strength. You might make and charge a talisman for this purpose, to accompany you through the next two seasons.

Full Moon September 26th: Called the Harvest Moon (the moon closest to the Equinox), Wine Moon, Song Moon, or Corn Moon. Time to acknowledge what you have cultivated and what you are harvesting, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. The Full Moon is in Aries while the Sun is in Libra. The Aries-Libra axis highlights the balance between your personal needs (Aries) and relationship dynamics or compromises with others (Libra). As a time of culmination, it urges you to speak your truth, embrace personal courage, and evaluate where you may be giving away your independence in partnerships. 

Note: September is the month during the equinox when Persephone goes back into the Underworld to resume her throne as Queen of the Underworld for the Autumn and Winter Months.
