Mabon- Autumn equinox- September 20-24 (September 23, 2023)
(This chapter is all about Mabon, more info, ideas how to celebrate, and more)
Coincides with the final harvest of the year. This is a time to recognize the bounties of summer giving way to the stillness of winter. Falling on the autumn equinox, it's also a time of balance between light and dark once more - darkness will soon begin to overtake the light. This sabbat is focused on giving thanks above anything else. Reflect on what you've been given, Give yourself something to look forward to through winter. As the Wheel of the Year comes to an end, Mabon opens the opportunity to set intentions that remove unhealthy habits, relationships, or beliefs from your life. Focus on finding balance as you prepare for another season's change.
