The Autumn Equinox: A Time of Balance and Change

The Autumn Equinox, also known as the fall equinox, is a celestial event that marks the official beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. It occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator, making day and night approximately equal in length.

As the Autumn Equinox arrives, the world teeters on the edge of balance—day and night are equal before the darkness begins to dominate. In Satanism, the equinox symbolizes the embrace of darkness and the power that comes from within. It's a time of introspection, growth, and honoring the cycles of nature.

This equinox marks a turning point in the natural world, as the Earth begins to shed its abundance and prepare for winter. Leaves change color, crops are harvested, and the energy of summer wanes, giving way to introspection and quietude.

Embrace the Darkness

During the Autumn Equinox, Satanists may engage in public rituals or personal rituals that reflect their journey on the Left-Hand Path. This is a period to reflect on the balance of light and darkness within, where day surrenders to night. As we move toward the darker months, this seasonal shift encourages us to focus on inner growth, the Satanic ideal of taking control of one’s life through understanding both forces. The equinox also signifies a moment to honor both the visible and invisible forces that shape our reality.

On a deeper level, the Autumn Equinox represents a time of introspection and letting go. It's a reminder that everything in life is temporary and that change is inevitable. It's a time to embrace the darkness that comes with the end of the growing season, knowing that it will eventually give way to the light of spring. This cycle of death and rebirth is a fundamental part of life, and the Autumn Equinox is a powerful symbol of this process.

The Autumn Equinox represents a crucial moment to acknowledge and harness the energy of the season of Darkness.

So I say to you "May the fall bring you strength as you welcome the darkness in and on this equinox, may the balance shift to your inner power."

Hail Satan!
