       Mabon - A Small Guide
       This week is Mabon! For all Witches, and with any sabbath, it’s
       a fun time to celebrate. So, I figured I’d put together a little
       guide for Mabon.
       Mabon is also known as the Autumnal Equinox, when Night and Day
       are equal with each other. With Mabon, we all take a moment to
       pay our respects to the impending darkness. The Druids call this
       celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the
       God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of
       ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this
       time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from
       Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for
       death and re-birth.
       At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery
       and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to
       and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at
       Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a
       period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

       walking in the woods, scattering offerings in harvested fields,
       offering libations to trees, adorning burial sites with leaves,
       acorns, and pine cones to honor those who have passed over.

       Muses. Gods-Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man.
       Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to
       honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of
       balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of
       our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our
       gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just
       coping with the hussle-bussle of everyday life. May your Mabon
       be memorable, and your hearts and spirits be filled to
       overflowing!
