Set up your altar with quarter candles, a cup of cider, cake, and the rest of your usual supplies. Decorate with seasonal goodies.
- Apples
- Indian corn
- Pumpkins
- Colorful leaves
Walk the circle and say: We stand between worlds - where Earth and Sky - Night and Day - Life and Death are one - the circle is cast The ritual has begun.
Light the yellow candle, hold it to the sky, and say: We call upon the powers of Air, and welcome you to this circle. May the winds of change bring us wisdom and knowledge in this season of abundance and bounty. Place the candle on the altar.
Light the red candle, hold it to the sky, say: We call upon the powers of Fire, and welcome you to this circle. May the shining light of this season's moon illuminate our way through the coming winter. Place the candle on the altar.
Light the blue candle, hold it to the sky, and say: We call upon the powers of Water, and welcome you to this circle. May the cool autumn rains wash away the last comforts of summer, and prepare us for the chill that is to come. Place the candle on the altar.
Light the green candle, hold it to the sky, and say: We call upon the powers of Earth, and welcome you to this circle. May the fertile soil of the land bring us prosperity, abundance, and the bounty of the land, in this time of harvest. Place the candle on the altar.
Raise your hands and say: We gather tonight by the light of the moon, to celebrate the season, and rejoice. May the next turn of the Wheel bring us love and compassion, abundance and prosperity, fertility and life. As the moon above, so the earth below.
Bless the cakes and cider and eat/drink while listing off the things you are looking forward to in the coming month. Do you hope to manifest financial independence? Develop your intuitive powers? Or are you perhaps hoping to grow your relationships? Now is the time to state your intent.Take a moment to reflect on the bounty of the season.
Pick up the green candle, hold it aloft and say: Thank you for your presence and strength here tonight and in our daily lives. Extinguish candle, place back on alter.
Pick up the blue candle, hold it aloft and say: Thank you for your presence and cleansing here tonight and in our daily lives. Extinguish candle, place back on alter.
Pick up the red candle, hold it aloft and say: Thank you for your presence and desire here tonight and in our daily lives. Extinguish candle, place back on alter.
Pick up the yellow candle, hold it aloft and say: Thank you for your presence and intelligence here tonight and in our daily lives. Extinguish candle, place back on alter.
The circle remains unbroken yet released to the winds merry part.
