ABOUT MABON
The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.
Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia.
Practicing witches will tell you, the equinox is a powerful time. Considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honour Aging Deities and the Spirit World. For pagans, equinoxes are particularly significant events, and the autumnal equinox—referred to as Mabon by neo-Pagans—is somewhat equivalent to Thanksgiving. This is an important time to give thanks to Mother Goddess and the earth for her gifts. Also considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with everyday life.
At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.
A perfect time to meditate on any corrections to any imbalance in your life and peace.
Take this time to find connection to Gaia, the goddess of the earth and nature. Cast a protective circle, create an altar outside, or leave an offering of fruit and vegetables or bread for the faeries and elementals. Cleanse yourself by burning a protective smudge stick of sage.
Deities: Goddesses – Modron, Morgan, Epona, Persephone, Pamona and the Muses. Gods – Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man
Mabon is a time for practicing protection magic as well as abundance magic. Pagans believe, the veil between the spiritual and mortal worlds is particularly thin around the autumn equinox. Any form of divination you partake in will be particularly powerful including meditating on this space of equilibrium and the balance between light and dark.
The main thing is to enjoy the festival.
