Autumnal Equinox
On the autumnal equinox, which generally occurs on September 21 – give or take a day – Wiccans and Witches celebrate the sabbat that we call Mabon. With the fruits of the earth safely gathered in, there is at last time for a Harvest festival and for Thanksgiving. Yet while day and night may be of equal length, the balance will imminently shift in favor of darkness, and everything associated with it, including death. ANd it is now that the Horned God, having conquered the demons of the underworld, returns to Earth to claim the Goddess, so that together they descend to their dark realm.
Meditate on Mabon
Mabon heralds a time of turning inward. This is a good occasion on which to give thanks to the Goddess and Horned God, for their fruitfulness and for all that you have metaphorically reaped this year. You may also want to plan your spiritual development from the coming months.
