Mabon Ancestor Connection Spell
You’ll Need:
-
A small candle (white, black, or deep red work well)
-
A photo or heirloom of an ancestor (or simply write their name on paper)
-
A bowl of fresh autumn water (from rain, stream, or tap)
-
An offering: apples, bread, wine, or seasonal herbs like rosemary or sage
-
Optional: incense (frankincense, myrrh, or sandalwood)
The Spell:
Create Sacred Space
Light your candle and say: “By light and flame, I call the veil thin. By balance of dark and light, I welcome my kin.”
Invite the Ancestors
Place your photo/name/heirloom before the candle.
Say: “Ancestors known and unknown, of blood, of spirit, of bone, I honor you this Mabon night.
Come close, share your wisdom, share your sight.”
Offering of Gratitude
Place your offering by the candle.
Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and sprinkle it gently around, saying: “As the leaves fall, the cycle turns, I give thanks for the lessons learned.”
Quiet Connection
Sit in meditation. Listen. You may feel warmth, a whisper, or simply a sense of love and support.
If you like, ask a question aloud or silently in your heart.
Closing
Thank your ancestors: “With love and respect, I release you now. Until we meet again, I honor my vow.”
Extinguish the candle, leaving the offering outside under a tree or burying it in the earth.
Tips:
Do this at sunset or twilight for stronger connection.
You may keep a journal nearby to write down any messages, feelings, or symbols that come through.
If you don’t have specific ancestors in mind, you can call upon the “Ancestors of the Land” or the “Ancestors of Spirit.”
