The Harvest Moon and a Full Belly: Mabon's Magic

Mabon, the autumn equinox, is like a sigh of relief, a moment to pause and savor the fruits of our labor. It's the time when the days and nights are equal, a balance point between the summer's abundance and the winter's slumber. For many, it's a time to celebrate the harvest, a tangible reminder of the earth's bounty.


But Mabon's magic goes deeper than just feasting on plump pumpkins and apples. It's a time to reflect on the year's journey, the lessons learned and the growth experienced. Just as the earth prepares for its winter rest, we too can use this time to let go of things that no longer serve us, to shed burdens and make space for new beginnings.


Mabon's celebration can take many forms, from simple acts of gratitude to elaborate rituals. Some might gather with loved ones for a harvest feast, sharing stories and laughter under the glow of the full moon. Others might engage in quiet introspection, journaling their reflections and setting intentions for the coming season. The beauty of Mabon lies in its flexibility, allowing each individual to celebrate in a way that resonates with their own personal journey.


For me, Mabon is a time to appreciate the simple things: the crisp air, the changing leaves, the warmth of a crackling fire. It's a reminder that even in the face of darkness, there is still beauty and hope. It's a time to honor the cycle of life, the ebb and flow of seasons, and to find solace in the knowledge that, just as the earth will awaken again in the spring, so too will our own spirits renew themselves.


So, as the harvest moon hangs high in the sky, take a moment to breathe in the autumn air, to appreciate the bounty of the earth, and to celebrate the magic of Mabon. It's a time to give thanks, to let go, and to embrace the beauty of new beginnings.
