During the Fall Equinox it is best to select vegetables,
Fruit, Nuts, Herbes, or other food you may have harvest purchased to give back to the Mother with prayers and thanks. Another
custom is to hang corn (Dried Ears of Corn) around your house to appreciate the Harvest Season. Meditate and chant while storing
away food for the long winter ahead, the goal is to think positive and push that positive energy into whatever it may be that
you are doing. Finally do a circle for the Fall Equinox and always associated the quadrants of the Earth and
involve them, as thou will do. May your Fall Equinox be Blessed & True.
