Wiccan Ritual Ceremony to see the Future
The Autumn Equinox, or first day of fall, takes place on September 23, 2019 at 3:50 AM EDT. On the Wiccan Wheel of the Year the Autumn Equinox is a traditional time for spells and rituals relating to organization, finding balance and rest after labour. The hours of light and darkness are equal, just as they are at the Spring Equinox.
In ancient times, autumn was a time of hard work when fields were harvested and our pagan ancestors prepared for the long, cold winter ahead. Today, Wiccans use this festival to examine our personal progress to date and fine-tune our plans for the future. This is also the time for rest after labour as we head towards Samhain and complete the Wheel of the Year.

Spells & Rituals for Autumn Equinox
If you need a ritual for the Autumn Equinox, My Wheel of the Year guide has one that offers insight into your future, using a harvest mediation and a mysterious jewelled cob of corn.
If you live in the southern hemisphere, you will want to read about the Spring Equinox or Ostara and the Balancing Eggs ritual.
Here is part of the Autumn Equinox meditation:
As you walk to the edge of the field, you notice one green stalk still unharvested, with a fresh ear of corn still attached. You snap off the corn and anxiously pull down the husk. Instead of yellow kernels, the cob is studded with jewels and precious metals.
Remember what you see and write it down. You will check below later for the meaning of the jewelled cob! You put the “corn” in your pouch, give thanks and head home for a harvest feast with friends and loved ones.
Meanings for the following stones and metals are provided: Amber, Amethyst, Bloodstone, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet, Gold, Jade, Opal, Lapis lazuli, Pearl, Peridot, Ruby, Silver, Sapphire, Topaz, Turquoise.
Blessed be and Happy Autumn Equinox!
