Hi Readers,
I thought after sharing my altar for the equinox I would talk about how one can celebrate If they chose. This doesn’t have to be elaborate. I would say research how it is celebrated within your tradition If you are in one, talk to your coven If you are in one, and maybe look at how people celebrated in your own culture. Also, you can also see how other people celebrate through places like any form of social media. Instagram, twitter, Pinterest, and other sources abound on how people celebrate.
I have celebrated with no tools, baking foods suited to the season like cookies, and I have done full on rituals. I have done rituals with little tools like a piece of what I have baked, some materials for a spell, and other items like decorations like fallen leaves. Further, I even not celebrated before not because I haven’t chosen but because of circumstances. I have celebrated through gratitude for things and I have celebrated by releasing something and asking for something to replace it referring to the balance aspect.
I say do what works for your situation. Use what you have around. I like the idea of celebrating with people even family that doesn’t know what your celebrating. You can have a lunch or dinner prepared for family and a few friends. You could bake, cook, and have drink with all kinds of foods related to the season.
You can make your morning coffee and tea part of your day as part of it by choosing something related to what you drink in fall. Pumpkin spiced anything is a good choice!
I am celebrating with both something mundane as drinking something related to the season, but I have yet to decide, in addition to ritual and spell casting.
These are just some of the ways you can celebrate I thought I would share for those of you who are interested.
Do you have anything to add? What are you planning to do this year?
Many Blessings!
