Mabon Magick Collection @Superstitious
Mabon or the Autumnal Equinox, falls on or around September
19-22. It marks the time of year when day and night are equal, as they are on
the Spring Equinox, Ostara. The difference between the two is that on Mabon,
the night will overpower the day, and the Sun will weaken until Yule, the
Winter Solstice. Mabon is the second of the three harvest festivals, to include
Lammas (Lughnasadh), Mabon, and Samhain. It is the harvest of fruits and
vegetables, and metaphorically the harvest of the years trials, tribulations,
and hard work.
We mourn the weakening of the Sun God, and rejoice in the
Goddess' bounty that she has given birth to. Our altars are decorated in the
Autumn colors of golds, coppers, reds, and oranges, accented with gourds, oak
leaves, acorns, and pumpkins. We cast spells for prosperity, abundance, new
beginnings, drawing balance, and strength and protection. Mabon is a time of
dramatic change, one from the vibrancy and newness of the Summer, to the
impending darkness and seeming death of Wintertime. It is for this that we cry,
both in sorrow and happiness. It is balance. It is what we as Witches strive
for.
