Welcome to September, officially kicking off The Season of the Witch! As the leaves turn crisp and the nights grow longer, it’s time to fully embrace your inner witch—whether you’re a lifelong practitioner or witch-curious. We’re diving deep into why this time of year is so energetically powerful for transformation, magic, and personal reclamation. Spoiler: it’s about more than just Halloween decorations and spooky movie marathons (though, yes, they amp up the fall feels).
This season aligns with not only the cycles of nature but also the energies within us that are ready for a shift.
Embracing Your Inner Witch: What It Really Means
For some of us, the word “witch” stirs up images of black cats, cauldrons, and Disney villains, right? But if you dig deeper, “witch” is a term that represents so much more. It’s a symbol of self-trust, empowerment, and being in tune with both the energies around you and within you.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’ve been practicing for years, this is the time of year when society sort of says, “Hey, it’s okay to be a little witchy.” It’s almost like there’s a collective sigh of relief for those of us who have always felt a connection to these practices. During September and October, you can wear your magical heart on your sleeve without anyone raising an eyebrow. But beyond the fun of it, this season offers a powerful portal for personal transformation.
The Power of the Word “Witch”: It’s About Reclaiming YOU
Let’s talk about the multi-layered meaning of the word “witch.” Historically, those labeled as witches were often outsiders—people who didn’t conform to societal norms or had a deeper connection to nature and intuition. Sound familiar?
Today, reclaiming the word witch is about stepping into your authentic self. It’s about saying, “I trust my intuition, I honor my connection to the earth, and I embrace the full spectrum of who I am.” It’s not about religion or spooky spells. It’s about being you, unapologetically, and owning your power without fear of judgment or the need for validation.
In fact, here’s a question to ponder: Where are you afraid of being othered or outcast? And where are you afraid of your own power?
These are the areas where stepping into your witchy self can be transformative. By addressing where you feel the most discomfort—whether it’s standing up for your beliefs, making a life-changing decision, or just letting your true self shine—you reclaim your power and step fully into the magic of who you are.
The Energetics of Autumn: Water, Emotion, and Shedding What No Longer Serves You
As the fall feels roll in, the energy of water takes center stage. Water represents dreaming, intuition, and emotion—things that often get buried in the hustle of daily life. But during this season, you’re invited to slow down, reflect, and get clear on what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Think about it: nature itself starts to let go of what no longer serves it. The leaves fall, the days shorten, and the earth prepares for a period of rest and renewal. This is your cue to do the same.
How can you shed what’s no longer serving you? What beliefs, habits, or even people are you ready to release so that you can step into the next version of yourself? Autumn is your time to declutter—not just your closet but your inner world, too.
Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio: The Zodiac Path of the Witch
During The Season of the Witch, we move through Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio—each zodiac sign offering unique energies to guide you through your transformation.
Virgo (Late August to September): Known for its attention to detail and nurturing energy, Virgo supports you in decluttering. What’s weighing you down? What habits or obligations are you merely tolerating? Virgo invites you to make space in your life for more of what you truly desire.
Libra (Late September to October): This is the sign of balance and harmony. As you release what no longer serves you, Libra helps you integrate the new and the old, finding harmony between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. It’s about accepting that two truths can exist at the same time: your past and your future self, coexisting and supporting each other.
Scorpio (Late October to November): Ah, Scorpio—the sign of transformation pushing you to fully step into your power and embrace the deep changes you’ve been working toward. Scorpio energy is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. You’ve done the decluttering, you’ve created balance, and now it’s time to rise as your most powerful, authentic self.
Dream Big, Witch: The Liminal Space of Autumn
Autumn is a season of liminality—the space between. It’s a time when the veils between worlds are thin, and you can access deeper levels of intuition, magic, and self-awareness. This is why witchy practices like tarot, crystal work, and shadow work are so powerful right now.
The beauty of this season is that it encourages dreaming outside of societal expectations. This is your time to ask yourself the big questions: What do I want for my future? How do I want to show up in my life? Where have I been holding back my true desires because I’m afraid of what others will think?
Here’s the thing: The energy of the season of the witch wants you to dream big. It’s begging you to use this liminal space to imagine new possibilities, to reframe old problems, and to reclaim your power to shape your life. You are the witch of your own story, and you have the power to rewrite it.
Reclaiming the Witch Within: A Symbol of Self-Trust
One of the most powerful aspects of embracing the word “witch” is that it becomes a symbol of self-trust. You’re not just saying, “I’m a witch because it’s trendy during Halloween.” You’re saying, “I trust myself. I trust my intuition. I honor my connection to the energies around me, and I believe in my power to create change in my life.”
Think of it like this: when you step into the role of the witch, you stop shrinking away from your own power. You stop letting fear or the opinions of others dictate your life. Instead, you choose to act from a place of alignment and authenticity.
When you say, “I am a witch” (or even “I’m witch-curious” if you’re just starting out), you’re making a powerful statement that you trust your inner voice. You’re claiming your power to dream, to create, and to transform.
