The actual Equinox is on Tuesday at 10.24am, but we celebrated yesterday (Sunday). There were twelve people at a ritual led by Christine and me where we looked at how we could balance outgoing energy with inner nurturing. We crumbled up dead leaves and twigs to symbolise the aspects of our character we wanted to do way with, then took pieces of raffia and wove them into a card to symbolise the parts of ourselves that we want to nurture through the winter. The ritual was enhanced by the involvement of two musicians.
We finished with an Equinox Prayer. I’m uncertain who wrote this, so am not able to acknowledge the creator.
Equal hours of light and darkness
We celebrate the balance of the Equinox,
and ask the goddess to bless us.
For all that is bad, there is good.
For that which is despair, there is hope.
For the moments of pain, there are moments of love.
For all that falls, there is the chance to rise again.
May we find balance in our lives
as we find it in our hearts.
Blessed Be
Do you plan to celebrate the equinox?

How beautiful Ruth. I celebrated twice, once with my group and the second time when I led an online equinox ritual for the Celebrant school and many guests.

It’s satisfying to be able to share the celebration with others.
