The crisp air and fallen leaves, sparks the mind of the Witch with magick and mystery. The autumn season is the perfect time to celebrate the bounty and magick of Mother Earth. Many magickal practitioners spend this time storing herbs, potions, incense blends, and oils for later use. Mabon, or the Autumnal Equinox, falls on or around September 20th - marking when day and night are equal, as they are during the vernal equinox or   Ostara . During the autumnal equinox the night overtakes the day and the Sun weakens until the winter solstice or  Yule . In a physical sense Mabon is the harvest of fruits and vegetables; and in a spiritual sense the harvest of the years trials, tribulations, and efforts. We mourn the weakening of the Sun God, and rejoice in the Goddess's bounty that she has given birth to. Our altars are decorated in the autumn colors of gold, coppers, red, and oranges and commonly accented with gourds, oak leaves, acorns, and pumpkins.      ...
