Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, is the counterbalance to Ostara. Once again, night and day are equal. Yet, after tonight, the seesaw tips toward night more than day.
The time of the second harvest, Mabon's another time to gather the fruits of one's labor and to cut away what is no longer necessary. It's a time to reflect on what fell out of balance, and how to right that balance to move into the dark portion of the year. The Autumn Equinox is also known as the Witches' Thanksgiving. Today, spend time with the family you've created out of friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones. Throw a large potluck feast. Celebrate outside if weather permits. Take a moment to remember those who were lost through the year, those who were harvested. Give thanks for all that is good in your life, and take a few minutes to share your graditude with those gathered- Cerridwen Iris Shea
