Flashback 2024 Mabon: The Bounty

The sabbat of Mabon observes the autumn equinox. It’s a time of Thanksgiving for the bounty of the earth and a time to observe nature’s decline into the dark season.

Mabon means “Great Son.” As the legend goes, Mabon the son of the Goddess, was abducted as a child and taken to the land of Avalon. He was freed and returned as a young man. The legend is used to explain nature’s decline in autumn and its return at Ostara. Even though we are entering the dark season, we are surrounded by bounty. Country markets overflow with pumpkins, apples, and autumn flowers.

To celebrate this time of bounty, decorate your altar with seasonal decor–pumpkins, mums, and leaves are ideas. Then in your Book of Shadows write down the bounty you are grateful for–family, home, career, etc. Leave your book open for a few days. Then review your list. Send loving thoughts to the people and things on your list. Put your book away.

The chill comes and the fingers of the dark earlier across the land, but we are surrounded by the bounty of Mabon.

Other Names: Atumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest

The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. 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.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year.

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.

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!

September 22, 2026 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

You can find more moon phase details on both of the websites used in this post by clicking on each hyperlink.

The Moon phase for September 22nd, 2026 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

a Partnership, a Gift

If this rune is pulled, that is a sign that unity, union or partnership is near.  But you are requested, not to throw yourself into this connection.  A true partnership can only consist of two independent, healthy beings, that preserve there own independence also in this union. This advice is important at all levels: in romantic relationships, in commercial things, simply in partnerships of every type.

Luis

Luis corresponds to the letter L in the alphabet, and is associated with the Rowan tree. This symbol represents insight, protection and blessings.

The Rowan tree has often been associated with protection against enchantment and magic. Rowan sticks were often used to carve protective charms on, and hung over a door to prevent evil spirits from entering. The berries, when split in half, reveal a small pentagram inside. The Rowan indicates protection, as well as knowledge and insight about what is taking place in your surroundings.

Luis Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Keep your awareness high, and go with your intuition when it comes to the people and events in your life. Trust your judgment, and don’t allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security.

Magical Aspects: Keep yourself true to your spirituality, staying grounded even in times of doubt. This will help protect you from that which might bring you emotional, physical or spiritual harm.

As a Virgo born on September 21st…

 Astrological symbol: Maiden. This is the symbol of the Virgo zodiac for people born August 23 – September 22. It is suggestive for thinking clarity, shyness, a calm nature peaceful and accomplished.

 The Virgo Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Spica. It lies between Leo to the West and Libra to the East, covering an area of 1294 square degrees, as the second largest constellation, between visible latitudes of +80° and -80°.

 The name Virgo comes from the Latin name for Virgin and in France is it called Vierge, while in Greece the sign for September 21 zodiac sign is called Arista.

 Opposite sign: Pisces. This is important because it reflects upon the honesty and humor of Pisces natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Virgo sun sign want.

 Modality: Mobile. This modality reveals the carefree nature of those born on September 21 and their courage and adaptability in life in general.

 Ruling house: The sixth house. This house governs services, careers and health. This explains the interest Virgo takes in all work related tasks and how Virgoans are sometimes prone to hypochondriac episodes.

 Ruling body: Mercury. This connection suggests consideration and courtesy. It also reflects on the resourcefulness in the lives of these natives. Mercury is one of the seven classical planets that are visible to the naked eye.

 Element: Earth. This is an element for the dignified and polite individuals born on September 21. It allows fire and water to model it while it incorporates air.

 Lucky day: Wednesday. This is a day ruled by Mercury, therefore deals with acceptance and talkative. It suggests the controlled nature of Virgo natives.

 Lucky numbers: 1, 9, 11, 16, 27.

 Motto: “I analyze!”

 People born on September 21 are reliable and hardworking. Not only they are always involved in some sort of mind challenging activity but they are also meticulous in their approach to life. They are trustworthy and have a rare sense of duty. They prefer to take the long way and be correct rather than cheat on the short way. They organize their life up to the last detail but this doesn’t mean that they don’t leave room for chance and opportunity to occur.

 Positive Traits: These natives are empathetic and accommodating beings. They are by nature close to the family side of life and try to build what they think represents the cohesion and security of their family. They are unhesitating to achieve even the smallest thing they do and have what it takes for that and also the openness to path a new plan in case the first one gets them stuck somewhere.

 Negative Traits: Accepting that they shouldn’t be so fixed when they make certain arrangements and admitting when they are feeble is something that these natives could benefit from. They are portrait in the zodiac as the ones who worry so they are often caught in some life dilemmas that trouble them, just because they often go with their negative vision of things.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on September 21 are affectionate and committed. They leave passion aside in order to build a dependable and trustworthy relationship. They are attracted to persons that are as intelligent and trustworthy as them and even more to someone who is sensible and caring and to whom they can offer support and protection. This single native is focused on the other aspects of life and is never in a rush to commit if he/she doesn’t feel it’s right.

They are likely to surprise everyone around them with the passionate love they are capable of, only if they come across someone that will truly awake their interest. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. A creative, freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. Lucky Color: Navy blue is the representative color for those born under the September 21.
