Fall Equinox Witchcraft The fall equinox, also known as the autumnal equinox or Mabon in witchcraft, is an important time in the practice of many witches. It is a time of balance when day and night are nearly equal in length, with the days becoming shorter and the nights longer. In witchcraft, the fall equinox is seen as a time of harvest and gratitude. It is a time to appreciate the abundance of the Earth and give thanks for the fruits of the harvest. Many witches will create altars adorned with symbols of the season, such as cornucopias, pumpkins, and autumn leaves. They may also incorporate fruits, vegetables, and grains into their rituals to honor the fall harvest.

Mabon / Autumn Equinox
An equinox is one of two days during the solar year when the sun crosses Earth’s equator, resulting in both day and night (light and dark) being of approximately equal length. This astronomical event occurs once in the spring, the vernal equinox, and once in the fall, the autumnal equinox. The autumnal or fall equinox occurs annually between September 20th—23rd. This equinox officially marks the first day of autumn in Canada.
Mabon, one of the four Lesser Sabbats, is the Pagan observance of the fall equinox. As the second of the three annual harvest festivals, contemporary Pagans continue to celebrate Earth’s abundance and the resulting annual harvests as well as the balance between day and night. As it’s customary to show gratitude for Earth’s gifts during this sabbat, Mabon is also known as Pagan Thanksgiving.
This can involve honoring both the light and shadow aspects of their personalities and embracing the cycles of life and death. Some witches may also choose to perform rituals or spells during the fall equinox. These can vary depending on individual beliefs and practices. Some common rituals may involve casting circles, calling upon deities associated with the harvest season, and performing divination to gain insight into the coming months. Others may focus on letting go of patterns or energies that no longer serve them, making space for new growth and opportunities. During the fall equinox, witches may also engage in activities that celebrate the changing of the seasons. This can include going for nature walks, collecting fallen leaves or acorns, and participating in harvest festivals or gatherings with other witches. It is a time of community and connection, coming together to honor the Earth and the cycles of life. Overall, fall equinox witchcraft is a celebration of balance, gratitude, and abundance. It is a time to honor the harvest, find balance within ourselves, and embrace the changing seasons. The practices and rituals performed during this time can vary greatly, but all share a common reverence for nature and the cycles of life..

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Fall Equinox Witchcraft". The author's writing style was confusing and hard to follow, making it difficult to fully understand and appreciate the concepts being discussed. Additionally, I found the book lacked depth and originality, with much of the information feeling repetitive or regurgitated from other sources. Overall, I did not find this book to be an enjoyable or informative read.
2. Mark - 1/5 - "Fall Equinox Witchcraft" was a complete waste of time for me. The ideas presented in the book were shallow and lacked any real substance. I was looking for a deeper dive into the world of witchcraft during the fall equinox, but instead, I found myself reading overly simplified explanations and surface-level practices. The lack of in-depth knowledge and exploration made it difficult for me to connect with the content. I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking a meaningful understanding of fall equinox witchcraft.
3. Emily - 2/5 - Unfortunately, "Fall Equinox Witchcraft" did not meet my expectations. While the book promised a comprehensive guide to practicing witchcraft during the fall equinox, it fell short in many areas. The information provided lacked depth and felt more like a collection of surface-level rituals and spells rather than a holistic understanding of the subject. I was hoping for more historical context and guidance on how to incorporate the fall equinox into my personal witchcraft practice, but I did not find it in this book. Overall, it was an underwhelming read that left me wanting more.
