Summer is coming to a close and fall is in the air, which means that Mabon is right around the corner. One of the eight sabbats commemorated by the Wheel of the Year, Mabon is a harvest festival celebrated by Wiccans, as well as some pagans and witches. While it is not necessary that you celebrate Mabon or any other holiday along the Wheel of the Year, it is always a good idea to stay in tune with the changing of the seasons and honor the wisdom that each one brings to the table.
For instance, Mabon falls on the Autumnal Equinox when day and night are of equal length. It's the turning point in the year where the days begin to get shorter and the nights longer. This is the perfect time to start turning inward and settling down for the long fall and winter nights ahead. But before we head into the darker days, Mabon gives us the opportunity for one last hurrah with the warmth and light of the sun. Need some ideas for how to celebrate? I've got you covered!
