As the year gets darker and the Season of the Witch, the Journey on the Witch’s Road gets closer, the Wheel turns to Mabon, also known as Witch’s Thanksgiving. The second harvest festival that follows Lughnasadh, this is the Sabbat of the Autumnal Equinox when the Light of Day and the Dark of Night are the same and equal in length.
Mabon is an important marker in the turning of the Wheel of the Witch’s Year. This is the Sabbat most assoicated for community, personal gratitude, joy. It is a time of the Wheel when branching out and forming connection is important. Consider the journey of Summer to Harvest of Lughnasadh and its finale the Harvest of Mabon. What magic was successful for you this Wheel? What magic will you gather this second harvest preparing for Samhain to Imbolc, the Witch’s Road?
The celeberation of magick with the purpose of togetherness, this is what makes Mabon one of the Witch’s favorite sabbats. Already magick feels back in the environment as the air grows a bit frosty, the wind gets a tad stronger and the leaves begin to finally fall. This is Mabon, the Eve of the Season of the Witch.
