Mabon: Autumn Equinox - September 21st-23rd
Blessings of the Equinox to you! A time to reap what you have sown.
My Druid friend just txt msg me this blessing and my response was Eeeep! as I think we were going to get together for a ritual. But we both forgot which means it wasn't meant to be.
I think our ritual was going to focus on cutting the threads to the things that have holds over. I was going to cut the ties to my old B/f. I find i'm still thinking of him even though i dumped him a year ago. I just want him out of my head.
What is Mabon: well ....
Mabon marks the middle of harvest, it is a time of equal day and equal night, and for the moment nature is in balance. It is a time to reap what you have sown, of giving thanks for the harvest and the bounty the Earth provides. For finishing up old projects and plans and planting the seeds for new enterprises or a change in lifestyle. Mabon is a time of celebration and balance.
This is the time to look back not just on the past year, but also your life, and to plan for the future. In the rhythm of the year, Mabon is a time of rest and celebration, after the hard work of gathering the crops. Warm autumn days are followed by chill nights, as the Old Sun God returns to the embrace of the Goddess.
The passing of Mabon is inevitable and The Sun God should be mourned. We too, must remember that all things must come to an end. So the Sun God journeys into the lands of winter and into the Goddess' loving arms, but endings are a good time to celebrate our successes, thank our selves and those who helped us, and take part in the balance of life!
