Autumn Equinox Abundance Oil: A Seasonal Blend for Gratitude and Growth

As the wheel of the year turns and we reach the Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon in pagan traditions, we are invited to pause in a moment of perfect balance. Day and night are equal, the harvest is underway, and nature begins to wind down after the energetic growth of summer. It is a powerful time to reflect on abundance, express gratitude, and set intentions for the quieter, more introspective season ahead.

One of the most beautiful ways to honor this sacred threshold is by crafting a seasonal ritual oil, specifically, an Autumn Equinox Abundance Oil. This aromatic blend draws upon the wisdom of the Earth, using herbs, resins, and essential oils that align with prosperity, gratitude, balance, and spiritual nourishment.

Whether used in anointing, spellwork, meditation, or simply worn as a reminder of your intentions, this oil serves as a tactile connection to the energies of Mabon.

Why Make an Abundance Oil for the Autumn Equinox?

The Autumn Equinox is a harvest festival, and harvests, literal or metaphorical, are all about abundance. This is a time to:

• Celebrate what you’ve grown (in your garden, career, relationships, or self)

• Give thanks for your blessings

• Release what you no longer need

• Set new intentions rooted in grounded wisdom

Creating an abundance oil gives you a physical tool to work with as you reflect on these themes. It helps amplify your energy, connect to the Earth, and carry the essence of the season with you as you move into autumn.

Autumn Equinox Abundance Oil Recipe

This recipe is flexible, you can use what you have and feel free to substitute based on your intuition or available ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, grapeseed, or olive oil)

• 3 drops cinnamon essential oil (prosperity, warmth, energy)

• 3 drops orange essential oil (abundance, joy, optimism)

• 2 drops clove essential oil (protection, manifestation)

• 2 drops patchouli essential oil (grounding, wealth, Earth energy)

• 1 tsp dried calendula petals (sun energy, confidence, luck)

• 1 tsp dried rosemary (clarity, memory, spiritual protection)

• A small pinch of dried basil (wealth, success)

• A small piece of citrine, garnet, or tiger’s eye crystal (optional, to charge the oil with prosperity energy)

• 1 vitamin E capsule (optional) – helps preserve the oil

Directions:

1. Cleanse your tools – Before you begin, cleanse your space and tools. You can use smoke (sage, incense), salt, or simply your intention.

2. Add the herbs to a clean glass jar or bottle – Choose one with a tight-fitting lid or dropper. Mason jars or small amber bottles work beautifully.

3. Pour the carrier oil over the herbs – Make sure everything is fully covered. You may need to gently stir with a clean glass or wooden stir stick.

4. Add the essential oils – Drop them in one by one, focusing on the intention behind each scent.

5. Add the vitamin E capsule (if using) – Snip and squeeze it into the blend to extend shelf life.

6. Add your crystal – If you’re using one, drop it in after cleansing it with water or smoke.

7. Seal the jar and charge it – Hold the jar in your hands and speak your intention aloud. Example:

   “May this oil carry the blessings of harvest, the wisdom of balance, and the power of abundance. As the leaves fall, I gather what I’ve sown and give thanks. May prosperity flow in all forms.”

8. Let it infuse for 3–7 days – Store in a cool, dark place, shaking gently once a day. Some practitioners like to let their oils sit until the next full moon to fully charge the blend.

9. Strain (optional) – If you prefer a smoother oil, strain out the herbs using cheesecloth or a fine mesh sieve. Otherwise, leave them in for a more rustic aesthetic.

How to Use Autumn Equinox Abundance Oil

This oil is versatile and can be used in spiritual, magical, and everyday ways. Here are a few ideas:

• Anoint your wrists, temples, or heart center before a meditation or gratitude ritual

• Dress candles with the oil during abundance or harvest spells

• Add a few drops to a ritual bath

• Anoint tools or tarot decks to bless them for the coming season

• Use in money-drawing or success spells

• Wear as a perfume to carry autumn’s energy with you

Note: Always do a patch test before using essential oils on the skin, and avoid using oils with photosensitive ingredients like citrus if you’ll be in the sun.

The Magic of Intention

While the ingredients in this oil carry traditional associations with prosperity and balance, the real magic is your intention. When you make something by hand with reverence and purpose, it becomes more than the sum of its parts.

Let this oil be a reminder that abundance isn't just about money, it’s about richness in love, health, creativity, and spirit. It’s about aligning with the cycles of the Earth and trusting that just like the trees letting go of their leaves, we too can release and still thrive.

Final Thoughts

The Autumn Equinox is a sacred threshold, a time to honor all that you’ve cultivated and gracefully prepare for the inward journey ahead. By creating and using your own Abundance Oil, you anchor the energies of gratitude, prosperity, and seasonal wisdom into your daily life.

So light a candle, take a deep breath, and anoint yourself with the blessings of the harvest. May your heart be full, your spirit grounded, and your path rich with golden light.

🍂 Blessed Mabon. 🍂
