Sacred Mabon Harvest

September 19th -22nd

​

This festival marks a meaningful point of balance between the darkness of night and the light of day and the shift into fall.

Apples have come to be associated with Mabon, symbolizing life and even immortality as we step into seasons of colder weather. An apple cut in half reveals a five-pointed star, or pentacle, representing Earth, air, fire, water, and Spirit, and makes a fine addition to any altar at this time of year.

Making and drinking cider, putting away summer things and bringing out sweaters, gathering together to mark the change in seasons, and letting go of the summer and embracing the coming seasons of rest are what I hope to be doing this year at Mabon.
