AUTUMNAL EQUINOX (MABON)

Neopagan. September 21

The Autumnal Equinox brings equal length to night and day as we make our slow descent into the darker half of the year. Although this equinox has been celebrated throughout many cultures, Mabon appears to be a construct of neopaganism. It is named after the Welsh God Mabon, who was the son of the Earth mother goddess, Modron. Mabon celebrates the waning of the Sun and the impending completion of nature’s cycle. As the second harvest festival of the year, Mabon focuses on the fruit and vegetable harvest as well as a great harvest feast. During this time, we give our thanks for this abundance and focus on preparations for winter. We store food (canning and pickling fresh harvests that will not be consumed at the feast), clear out our pantries and cupboards, and make room for all that that will keep us warm and satiated over the long, cold months ahead. Symbols of Mabon include the cornucopia, apples, pomegranates, wine, nature spirits, and berries. During this time, the veil between this world and the next is starting to thin, so our ancestors are close by.
