Mabon (Autumnal Equinox or Harvest)
September 22nd
At
Fall Equinox,
also called
Mabon or
Harvest,
we are again at a point of balance between light and dark,
but this time it is the dark that will soon overtake the light.
The Goddess aspect of Crone comes forth as Reaper, and the
Mother Goddess mourns her consort whom she knows must leave her.
The God is seen as the Great Stag who falls, and the grain that
is reaped, in order that the people might have sustenance through
the cold winter to come. It is a time of feasting and celebration
of the harvest, but also of the full realization of the sacrifices
that are necessary in order to see us through the dark time that
is to come. Even as we celebrate, we prepare for winter.
