🌸 Needed 🌸

🍂Moon water

🍂Citrine

🍂Any gold jewellery

🍂Pine incense

🍂A yellowish orange candle

🍂Cinnamon sticks

🍂Sage

🍂A fireproof bowl

🍂A woody area outside

🍂Late afternoon

🌸 What to do 🌸

🍂Find a spot in a woody area or a thickly covered garden with lots of trees

🍂You must be barefoot

🍂Cast a circle (I don't call the quarters in this case)

🍂Light the incense and candle

🍂Wear the gold jewellery as if it contains the energy of the Earth and Mabon itself

🍂Keep the moon water in a jar, put the citrine in it and place it in front of the incense and candle to let it charge

🍂Meditate in front of it and think about how grateful you are for having this lovely festival and that you had the privilege of gaining the uplifted energy

🍂After you are done, take off the gold jewellery and put it into the moon water

🍂Chant,

"With my heart and soul I thank you, the Great Goddess of Earth,

I thank you for the energy you gave to me,

The power for me to see,

I thank you for the insight and the clear thoughts,

And also for the happiness I have got.

This Mabon has been perfect because of you,

I have been a one among the chosen few,

I now, with gratitude, return this energy back into your depths,

I shall remember this gesture through life and death."

🍂Keep it back in front of the candle

🍂In the bowl, burn the sage and cinnamon

🍂As the smoke rises, chatge the water and tge surroundings with it, while you chant,

"All are cleansed and restored,

No one is harmed, none is forced."

🍂Gently pour the moon water into the soil and watch it seep in, envisioning your energy being grounded and sent back to the Earth (the crystal and gold should remain just intact)

🍂Close the circle and be sure to eat something light
