“On this sacred day of balance, when light and darkness meet as equals, we enter the mystery of the autumn equinox. The wisdom of Tehuti invites us to reflect, to align with Ma’at, and to awaken the harmony within our own hearts. Step across this threshold with reverence, and receive the teachings of the season.”
Today, the sun enters into a sacred balance: the autumn equinox. It is the moment when light and darkness stand as equals, when day and night measure themselves against one another in perfect harmony. This celestial alignment is not only an astronomical event; it is a mirror of the eternal principle of Ma’at, the law of balance, truth, and divine order.
Within the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools, the equinox was understood as a threshold. To those who walk the path of initiation, it is a time to attune the inner scales of the heart to the cosmic scales upheld by the Neteru. At the heart of this mystery stands Tehuti, the Divine Scribe, Keeper of Sacred Measure, and Guardian of Cosmic Law. Tehuti does not simply observe the movements of the heavens; He records and ensures their perfect proportion, safeguarding the harmony of the seen and unseen worlds.
For the initiate, the autumn equinox marks a turning inward. As the sun begins its descent and the nights grow longer, we are invited into the season of gestation and inner cultivation. This is the time to harvest the fruits of our spiritual labors, to reflect upon what has ripened within us, and to release what is no longer in alignment with Ma’at. Just as the earth begins to rest, so too must the soul prepare itself for the deeper mysteries that dwell in silence and darkness.
To align with Tehuti during this sacred passage, consider setting aside time for meditation or ritual reflection. Place before you the image or symbol of the ibis or the moon, sacred emblems of Tehuti and call upon His guidance. Ask that your thoughts, words, and deeds be measured rightly, that your heart may be weighed and found true. In this way, you enter consciously into the living current of the equinox, allowing the cosmic balance to awaken balance within yourself.
The equinox is a reminder that the mysteries are not relics of a distant past, but living truths inscribed into the fabric of creation. As you stand within this moment of balance, know that you are also standing at a threshold of initiation. May Tehuti, Lord of Divine Word and Measure, illuminate your path, and may your life reflect the harmony of Ma’at in all things.
