🍂 The Magic of the Fall Equinox
Twice a year, the universe hits “reset.” The Fall Equinox (around September 22–23 in the Northern Hemisphere) is a cosmic balance point when day and night share equal time. Spiritually, it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and re-center.
Think of it as a sacred checkpoint — a moment to ask: Am I living in alignment with what truly matters?
Just as trees prepare to shed their leaves, we’re called to release what weighs us down. Just as the harvest is gathered, we’re reminded to celebrate what has grown.
And yes, your jewelry can be more than style — it can anchor intention, honor cycles, and remind you of your balance every day.
🌙 Why Rituals Matter on the Equinox
The equinox is steeped in ancient traditions:
- In Celtic culture, it was Mabon, a harvest festival.
- In Japan, Higan honored balance, ancestors, and gratitude.
- Across cultures, this was a day of feasts, gratitude, and acknowledging the turning of the wheel.
For us, rituals don’t need to be elaborate. Think of them as soulful habits that mark the season: lighting a candle, wearing jewelry with intention, or journaling with a stone in hand.
