Celebrating Mabon and The Autumn Equinox

 


Mabon is a harvest festival celebrated during the Autumn Equinox (Fall) and is a time for decorating, feasting, and connecting with nature. It’s a time to prepare for the upcoming winter with harvesting the last of the summer crops. It’s a time that we give thanks for what the earth has provided us. 

Mabon is a time where the day and night are balanced. This reminds us of the balance between light and dark energies. Embrace this duality. With balance comes harmony. 

Mabon is a time for us to recharge ourselves spiritually. Ground yourself and give thanks for what we have, but also remember to finish up goals. We are preparing for the thinning of the veil. When we become closer to the spiritual world. 

The Autumn Equinox occurs around March 21st for the Southern Hemisphere & September 21st- 23rd for the Northern Hemisphere. Celebrate by throwing a feast with family and give thanks for what we have.
