Fall is a perfect time for witchy rituals as the season is rich with symbolism, transformation, and the thinning of the veil between worlds. Here are some fall witchy rituals you can try:
1. Autumn Equinox Ritual (Mabon)
Purpose:Â Celebrate balance, gratitude, and the harvest.
What to Do:
Set up an altar with fall harvest items like apples, pumpkins, leaves, and acorns.
Light a candle in each of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) to honor the balance between light and dark.
Reflect on what you’ve harvested in your life this year and what you’re thankful for.
Offer a portion of your meal to nature as a thank you.
2. Full Moon Release Ritual
Purpose:Â Release what no longer serves you.
What to Do:
Write down things you wish to let go of on small pieces of paper.
Under the light of the full moon, safely burn the papers in a fireproof container.
As the smoke rises, visualize your burdens being lifted and released.
3. Apple Divination
Purpose:Â Gain insight or answers to questions.
What to Do:
Slice an apple crosswise to reveal the star-shaped core.
Ask a yes-or-no question, and then observe the number of seeds:
An even number of seeds means "yes."
An odd number of seeds means "no."
If the apple has a worm or is rotten, it might suggest that you need to ask a different question or reconsider the situation.
4. Protection Jar Spell
Purpose:Â Create a protective barrier for your home or personal space.
What to Do:
Gather protective herbs like rosemary, sage, and bay leaves.
Place them in a small jar along with some salt and a protective crystal like black tourmaline or obsidian.
Seal the jar with a black or white candle.
Bury the jar near your front door or place it on a windowsill for protection.
5. Samhain Ancestor Ritual
Purpose:Â Honor your ancestors and connect with the spirit world.
What to Do:
Set up a small altar with photos, heirlooms, or mementos of your ancestors.
Light candles and say a prayer or speak aloud to your ancestors, inviting them to join you.
Offer food, drink, or flowers as a token of appreciation.
Spend time in quiet reflection, listening for any messages or feelings of connection.
6. Crafting a Besom (Witch's Broom)
Purpose:Â Create a tool for cleansing and protection.
What to Do:
Gather twigs, a sturdy stick, and twine.
Bind the twigs to the stick with the twine to create a broom.
Use the besom to sweep away negative energy from your home symbolically.
Hang it near your door or in your sacred space for continued protection.
7. Pumpkin Spell for Abundance
Purpose:Â Attract prosperity and abundance.
What to Do:
Carve a small pumpkin and place inside coins, grains like rice or barley, and a green candle.
As you light the candle, visualize abundance flowing into your life.
Once the candle has burned down, bury the contents in your garden or a flowerpot to grow your prosperity.
These rituals can be adapted to fit your personal practice and spiritual beliefs. The key is to focus on your intent and connection with the season's energies.
