"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go." - Unknown

Hello, wild ones! Wow, wow, wow! As the vibrant hum of summer gently fades, can you feel that wondrous shift in the air? The quiet whisper of autumn calling us to pause, to breathe, and to dive deep into a season of reflection and gratitude. Today, let's journey together through the magickal essence of Mabon, the autumn equinox. Get comfy, grab a cup of something warm, and let’s chat about embracing the sacred rhythms of this beautiful season.

Unveiling Mabon

Mabon is the autumn equinox – a wondrous day of balance where light and dark dance in perfect harmony. It's one of the eight sacred sabbats on the pagan wheel of the year and marks our second harvest festival. You see, Mabon invites us to celebrate not only the abundance laid before us but also the incredible journey we've travelled through the ups and downs of this year.

The Magick of Balance

Let’s get real for a moment. Mabon is more than just an acknowledgment of the Earth's gifts; it’s a soulful reminder to find our own balance. Where in your life can you let go? What must you release to make space for new growth? Like the leaves falling from the trees, let us embrace the beauty in surrendering what no longer serves us. Trust me, there's a deep magick in releasing and making way for the new.

Rich Colours and Sacred Tools

Oh, the joy of Mabon colours! We’re talking deep reds, burnt oranges, golden yellows, earthy browns, and lush greens. These hues aren’t just visually stunning. They embody abundance and grounding, reflecting the energy and transformation of the season. Imagine these colours gracing your altar, home, or even your wardrobe. Can you feel the incredible earthy vibes already?

Crystals, Herbs, and Symbols

Now, let's talk about the sacred tools and symbols. Think citrine, amber, carnelian, and smoky quartz—all powerful, grounding, and bursting with the energy of Mabon. And the herbs? Sage, rosemary, mugwort, and cinnamon—a feast for the senses!

Symbols like the cornucopia, acorns, and harvest wreaths are not just decorations; they are deep, soulful reminders of the overflowing abundance of the earth and the potential for new beginnings. They connect us, grounding us in nature’s sacred cycles.

Feasting in Gratitude

Mabon feasting... oh, my heart! This is where we gather, share, and give thanks. Apples, pumpkins, squash, root vegetables—all these beautiful gifts of the season reflect our preparation for the darker months. Baking an apple pie, crafting a homemade loaf of bread – these are not just food prep; they are sacred rituals infused with gratitude..

Rituals and Reflective Practices

Now, lovely souls, let’s dive into the heart of Mabon rituals. Fancy a gratitude jar? Each slip of paper inside is a magical testament to your blessings this year. Or perhaps a balance spell with a black and white candle, inviting you to meditate on balancing your life’s scales. Crafty? Personalise a Mabon sachet filled with herbs and crystals, carrying the season's energy with you.

Connecting and Community

Mabon is also about connection, my dears. Host a Mabon feast or a circle with kindred spirits, sharing stories, gratitude, and rituals. If we can’t gather in person, why not create a virtual celebration? Our collective energy, whether near or far, weaves a supportive, nurturing container for growth and reflection.

Deep Reflection and Shadow Work

This sacred time invites us to slow down and reflect deeply. What have we harvested this year? What lessons have we learnt? Engage in shadow work; don’t shy away from those parts of ourselves we need to heal. Let’s welcome and transform our vulnerabilities, our raw truths, with compassion and grace.

Embrace the Season

Whether through crafting, walking in nature, or quiet moments of reflection, Mabon calls us to honour both light and shadow within. As we journey into the darker half of the year, let’s celebrate our harvest with open hearts, filled with gratitude and a sense of awe for the cycles of life.
