Mabon Ritual Box

What is Mabon?

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun) is the Autumn Equinox which divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. Depending on leap year it will be on the 21st or 22nd of September.

Mabon is traditionally the second harvest festival of the year. Throughout the wheel of the year we have been planning, planting our wishes, and working hard toward our goals. At this time, we may make the final “harvest” of our dreams and at Mabon we shall give thanks for the “riches” of the year.

This is a time to finish old business as we ready ourselves for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection. Mabon marks a time of rest after hard work. The crops are gathered in, and winter is still a month and a half away! Although the nights are getting cooler, the days are still warm, and there is something magical in the sunlight, for it seems silvery and indirect. What a wonderful time Mabon is and how lucky we are to celebrate!
