SEPTEMBER SPELLS
Spells for September:
Harvesting Gratitude, Balance, and Protection
By Kerry Kulkens
September is a time of transition as the year begins to wane and nature prepares for its next cycle. With the energy of the Autumn or Spring Equinox (depending on your hemisphere), it’s the perfect month for spells focusing on balance, gratitude, and grounding. September’s harvest energy invites us to reap the rewards of our hard work while preparing for the transformations ahead.
Gratitude and Abundance Spell
Celebrate the blessings in your life and attract continued abundance.
You will need:
A yellow or orange candle (for gratitude and harvest)
A small bowl of grains or seeds (representing plenty)
A piece of citrine crystal
Instructions:
Light the candle and place the bowl of grains in front of you. Hold the citrine crystal in your hand.
Reflect on the blessings in your life and feel a deep gratitude.
Say:
"Harvest of plenty, blessings unfold, Gratitude shines, worth more than gold. As I give thanks, abundance flows, Grateful heart, my light grows."
Keep the bowl and crystal in a prominent place as a reminder of your intention, or scatter the grains outside to offer thanks.
Balance and Harmony Ritual
Align with the equinox energy to restore balance in your life.
You will need:
A white candle and a black candle (to symbolise balance)
A small bowl of water
A sprig of rosemary
Instructions:
Place the white and black candles on either side of the water bowl. Light them both.
Hold the rosemary and dip it into the water, visualising harmony returning to all areas of your life.
Say:
"Light and shadow, night and day, Balance returns, my path I lay. Peace and harmony flow to me, By equinox power, so mote it be."
Use the rosemary water to anoint your hands or sprinkle around your space for balance.
Protection and Grounding Spell
Strengthen your boundaries and ground yourself as the seasons shift.
You will need:
A black or brown candle (for protection and grounding)
A bowl of soil or sand
A piece of black tourmaline or obsidian
Instructions:
Light the candle and place the bowl of soil in front of you. Hold the black tourmaline or obsidian in your hand.
Visualise roots growing from your feet into the earth, anchoring and grounding you.
Say:
"Earth beneath and fire above, Shield me with strength, surround me with love. Grounding roots, protection strong, Keep me safe where I belong."
Bury the crystal in the soil when not in use, keeping it charged with grounding energy.
