Purpose:
To honor the Autumn Equinox and express gratitude for the harvest, both literal and metaphorical, in your life.
What You’ll Need:
-
A small basket of seasonal fruits, vegetables, or grains
-
A green candle (for abundance)
-
A brown or gold candle (for grounding and balance)
-
A small piece of paper and a pen
-
A pinch of cinnamon (for warmth and protection)
-
An offering bowl
Instructions:
-
Create Your Sacred Space:
Find a quiet spot, either indoors or outdoors, where you can connect with nature. Arrange the candles, basket, and offering bowl in front of you.
-
Light the Candles:
Light the green candle, saying:
“I light this flame to celebrate abundance, prosperity, and the gifts of the Earth.”
Light the brown or gold candle, saying:
“I light this flame to honor balance, grounding, and the turning of the Wheel.”
-
Express Gratitude:
Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve harvested this year—be it personal growth, relationships, or achievements. Write down one thing you’re grateful for on the piece of paper.
-
Empower Your Offering:
Sprinkle the pinch of cinnamon over the fruits and vegetables in your basket, saying:
“With this spice, I add warmth and protection to the bounty of Mabon. May this harvest sustain and bless me through the coming season.”
-
Give Thanks:
Hold the basket close to your heart and say:
“I give thanks for the blessings of this harvest. As the day and night are balanced, so too shall I seek balance in my life. May I carry the spirit of Mabon in my heart through the darker days ahead.”
-
Make Your Offering:
Place a portion of the fruits, vegetables, or grains into the offering bowl. If outdoors, you may leave this offering in a natural spot. Indoors, place it on your altar until the candles burn out, then return it to the Earth.
-
Close the Spell:
Blow out the candles, saying:
“As the light fades, the blessings remain. So mote it be.”
-
Enjoy the Harvest:
Eat the remaining fruits and vegetables mindfully, savoring the gifts of Mabon and the Earth.
Blessed Mabon!
