The September Witch's Checklist
25 little ways to welcome the turning season
September has always felt like a little bit of a threshold to me...
There's still a hint of Summer lingering in the air, but you can feel Autumn quietly making it's arrival. The mornings are cooler, the evenings are drawing in & suddenly the trees are beginning to change.
It's a lovely in between time where one season in gently giving way to another.
And I think these transitional moments are worth noticing.
As witches, we have the opportunity to work with the turning of the seasons rather than simply letting them pass us by. We can slow down, pay attention to what is happening around us & find little ways to bring that seasonal shift into our everyday lives.
So, I've put together The September Witch's Checklist.
It's 25 little prompts designed to help you connect with the Earth, bring a little seasonal magic into your home, make space for reflection & most importantly, have some fun with your witchcraft.
I've divided the checklist into four areas; Earth, Hearth, Shadow & Magic.
But this isn't a list of things you have to accomplish.
There's no reason to race through all 25 or feel guilty if some simply aren't for you. Witchcraft should fit into your life, not become another thing you need to tick off your ever growing to do list.
Instead, think of this as an invitation...
Perhaps one particular promt catches your eye. Maybe you'll find yourself completing several without even really thinking about it. Or perhaps you'll save it & come back to it throughout the month whenever you need a little inspiration.
Let September Unfold
For me, one of the loveliest things about seasonal witchcraft is that it encourages us to actually notice where we are.
We can become so caught up in our routines that weeks can disappear before we've really paid attention to them.
So this month, look for the small things.
Notice the first leaf that changes colour.
Pay attention to what's going on around you.
Listen to the sounds of the landscape.
Notice the way light changes in the evening.
Make something warming.
Light a candle.
Spend a little more time outdoors without needing to achieve anything.
And perhaps, ask yourself what this particular turning means for you?
Your September Challenge
I've made the checklist as a PDF so you can save it to your phone, download it or print it out & keep it somewhere you'll see it.
Then, throughout September, tick things off whenever you fancy.
There is absolutely no requirement to complete all 25.
If you only manage one, that's one more moment where you stopped & connected with the season.
And I'd love to know how you get on!
If you tick something off, discover a new piece of local folklore, create something magical or simply have a lovely moment between the trees, come & tell us about it.
Tag us on social media, send us a message or share your pogress with the Callisto community. I'd love to see what everyone gets up to. Because ultimately, that's what this checklist is really about. Not completing a list. Not doing witchcraft perfectly. Just finding little moments of magic in the month & remembering to pay attention to the turning of the wheel.
So here's to September.
To cooler mornings, changing leaves, cosy evening, big jumpers & the little bits of magic waiting to be noticed.
Save the checklist, take it at your own pace & lets see how magical we can make September.
Bright Blessings,
Aimee
I can't wait to start ticking things off. I love a good list ✅
