Types Of Rituals To Do

* Make sure to pick the best vegetable, herb, fruit, nut, and other foods that you have harvested and or purchased. With Thanks give them back to Mother Earth.

* It is always best to create your own special and sacred traditions. This is a good time for doing so.

* Hang dried ears of corn around your home in appreciation of the harvest season and Mother Earth.

* Meditations and chants to celebrate the past growing season.

* Light candles in different shades of brown and orange to celebrate the Autumn harvest.

* Give to those less fortunate than you are.

* Give yourself permission to try something absolutely new.

* Take a class that teaches you how to do something you've always wanted to do.

* Weave seed pods, shells, feathers, and small pine cones into strands of yarn while thinking of what you want to create in your life.

* Set aside a certain amount of time (an evening, a Saturday) which is creative time for you to make anything you want.

* Give thanks for the harvest and for the gifts you've received this year. You might want to make a list of your gifts or find objects to represent them. Make an offering of thanks symbolically (tie a ribbon on a tree branch or pour some wine on the ground) or directly (make a stronger commitment to recycling or scatter seed for the birds).

* Buy (or make) a basket to use while shopping as a symbol of Demeter that also helps save the lives of her trees.

* Reflect on how you balance your personal needs with your commitments to others and how you balance giving and receiving in your journal.

* Make the balance in your life tangible by putting objects on a scale. For everything representing one side of the scale to you (e.g., a book to represent quiet time alone), place something on the other side representing its opposite (a letter or phone for reaching out to friends).

* Work for balance and equilibrium in nature or in human affairs.

* During your holiday feast, share tales and happy stories about those you lost during the year. Share your experiences and the lessons you have learned during the past season.

* After your holiday feast, share the chore of cleaning up as a display of honor and respect to your host. This physical action demonstrates your understanding of the interconnection of all life along with your respect and gratitude for what you have been given.

* End your evening in private reflection on your actions, thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and record them in your journal or book of shadows.

* Reflect on the past year, identifying what to harvest and what to plow under. And again, give thanks for the gifts you received.

* Identify and cut away outworn habits and emotional baggage which are wearing you down.

* A traditional way to celebrate the equinox is to visit the burial sites of your loved ones. Place an apple on their marker to represent the promise of the Great Spirits for renewed life through a new incarnation.

* The equinox is often considered a risky time for magick, so you may prefer to avoid magickal work and important decision-making for the several weeks prior to the onset of fall.
