As we bid goodbye to post summer solstice bliss, we hearken in the longer nights and darker mornings. Traditionally, we lay a red rose on an altar on the solstice as an offering to the season ahead. There are simple ways to bring blessings to the autumn such as candle magic and visualization techniques.<\/p>\n

\"Candles\"<\/p>\n

An orange candle symbolizes the sun so to have a small piece of the spiritual sun in your home, light an orange candle in a darkened room and taking some time out for yourself, sit and face the flame. As the moon is currently waxing, imagine and visualize the happy times you are going to spend in the coming months. Lift the dark energy and welcome on new and uplifting moods into your life. You can chant three times a short verse of something you wish to occur, something which doesn\u2019t involve controlling other people or circumstance. This can be writ on a white plain piece of paper and spoken aloud in a calm and forthright manner. It should be something positive which could portend a happier turn of events or even a progressive outcome to a difficult situation.<\/p>\n
