September winds call the fall forth
Hello my magical friends,
September winds call the fall forth with a subtle shift in the air, their cool breath stirring the amber leaves and urging the earth to prepare for transformation. These winds carry the whispers of change, rustling through the trees and awakening the senses to the deepening hues and softer light.
They serve as nature’s quiet summons, inviting us to release the heat of summer and embrace the introspective calm that autumn brings. In their gentle insistence, the September winds herald a season of
reflection, renewal, and the sacred dance between letting go and gathering strength.
We get very lucky out here in the woods of the Rockies, where the colors of fall begin to unfold a few days earlier than the equinox. The crisp mountain air carries the scent of pine and earth, while vibrant hues of amber, crimson, and gold paint the trees in a breathtaking display. This early arrival of autumn’s palette offers a serene and sacred moment to connect deeply with the changing season, inviting reflection and renewal before the landscape’s quiet slumber.
September offers a sacred pause to reflect on the energetic and physical harvest gathered throughout the year. It is a time to honor the fruits of your labor—whether they be personal growth, relationships nurtured, or goals accomplished—and to assess what has truly enriched your spirit and life. This month invites intentional planning for the remaining season, encouraging you to sow seeds with clarity and purpose for the final three months. By consciously deciding what to cultivate next, you align your energy with your highest aspirations, ensuring a meaningful close to the year’s cycle.
Virgo season brings a heightened focus on precision, organization, and self-improvement, encouraging us to refine our routines and align with purposeful intentions. This Tuesday's New Moon in Virgo deepens this energy, offering a potent opportunity for fresh beginnings rooted in clarity and practical planning. Coupled with the intensity of eclipse season, these cosmic forces amplify transformation, urging us to release what no longer serves and to embrace a more grounded, focused path ahead. It's a time to honor both the meticulous Virgo energy and the profound shifts eclipses ignite within our personal and collective journeys.
In the next few months, what are you manifesting? Me, I am stirring the cauldron with plans to expand my divination practice, weaving new rituals, deepening my connection to my Gods, and focusing on my blog more. This season is about cultivating growth—both personal and professional—through disciplined creativity, mindful self-care, and the courage to embrace transformation. Each step I take is a deliberate spell cast toward a life rich in authenticity, abundance, and soulful alignment.
Take time to heal,
Fall is a season of transformation and slowing down, inviting us to turn inward and examine the parts of ourselves that have been neglected or wounded.
Just as the trees shed their leaves to prepare for renewal, this time of year encourages us to offer gentle care and compassion to areas of our lives and hearts that need a tender hug and healing.
Embracing this period of reflection allows us to release what no longer serves us and nurture our spirit, fostering growth and resilience in the quiet, introspective moments that autumn so gracefully provides.
As much as I am dedicated to growing my self and nurturing my business, my commitment to being a mother is even greater. This time of year, stretching from the vibrant colors of autumn through to my birthday in January, holds a special magic that I cherish deeply. It’s a season filled with warmth, reflection, and celebration, and I am intent on sharing all the beauty and love I find here with my daughter. Through these moments, I hope to instill in her the same appreciation for life’s rhythms and the strength to embrace her own journey with grace and courage.
Becoming a mother has healed me in so many profound ways, revealing depths of strength and vulnerability I never knew existed. The experience has been transformative, often compelling me to confront and surface past traumas that lingered beneath the surface, unacknowledged and unresolved. Through the relentless demands and unconditional love of motherhood, I found the courage to face these wounds directly, allowing me to begin a process of true healing. It is a journey marked by both challenge and grace, where the act of nurturing another life ultimately nurtures my own soul, fostering growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness.
As the nights grow colder and the air turns crisp with the promise of change, it becomes essential to revisit the unresolved energies and intentions we’ve been carrying. This season of transition invites us to release what no longer serves our highest good—old fears, stagnant habits, and limiting beliefs—clearing space for renewal. For many witches, the turning of the wheel in fall marks the true new year, a potent moment to align deeply with our destiny. By thoughtfully shedding these layers, we open ourselves to receive the wisdom, strength, and vision that will catapult us into a future rich with purpose and magic.
One of the most enchanting ways to romanticize fall is by embracing the sensory experience it offers: the crispness of the air, the amber glow of fading sunlight, and the scent of cinnamon and woodsmoke lingering in the breeze. I love to adorn my space with rich, earthy tones—deep burgundy, burnt orange, and golden yellows—layered through velvet throws and dried floral arrangements. Evenings are reserved for slow rituals: lighting beeswax candles, brewing spiced herbal teas, and journaling by the window while leaves cascade outside. There’s magic in savoring each moment, whether it’s a quiet walk through a forest carpeted with leaves or indulging in the tactile joy of knitting with thick, cozy yarn. These little acts transform the season into a soulful celebration of change and warmth. What are some of your favorite things about fall?
Hugs,
Rebecca
