Color of the day: Scarlet Incense of the day: Basil Today is the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere), a time when day and night are equal in length. Today, focus on finding balance in your life in whatever areas you need it. Decorate your altar or other area, such as a mantle or shelf, with seasonal decorations and as you do so, concentrate on balancing the items equally on each side. Both sides don't have to be identical, but they should feel balanced. Perform the following ritual: cut an apple in half across the middle as evenly as possible. Take a bite from each half and put one on each side of the altar with your decorations. Recite the following chant: Balance in the Earth and me Balance to keep harmony. Equal measure, day and night Balance of the dark and light. Take a few more bites from each apple half if you desire (equally), then put them outside for wildlife to enjoy. |
