Mabon, named after the Welsh god of the harvest, is a time of equal day and night, marking the astronomical transition from summer to fall. It symbolizes the second harvest, where we reap the rewards of our hard work and appreciate the abundance surrounding us. As we reflect on the cyclical nature of life, Mabon encourages us to find equilibrium and harmony within ourselves and our environment. Mabon provides an opportunity to deepen our connection with nature and embrace the changing seasons. Take a walk in the woods and witness the transformation of the leaves, from vibrant greens to fiery reds and golden yellows. Gather fallen leaves, acorns, or pine cones to create beautiful and meaningful decorations for your home or altar (more on this, later). Engaging in activities like gardening, foraging for wild mushrooms, or participating in a local harvest festival can further immerse you in the spirit of Mabon. Gratitude lies at the heart of Mabon celebrations. Take a moment to express appreciation for the gifts of the Earth and the abundance in your life.
The Fall Equinox is also an absolute reset in energy, as the astrological chart of this exact moment will color the energy from now until the arrival of the Winter Solstice on December 21st.
