mabon is the pagan celebration of the autumn equinox, or the beginning of autumn. it typically falls between september 21st and 23rd in the northern hemisphere.

it marks the transition into the darker time of the year, when days are shorter and nights are longer. it’s a time for gratitude and to start preparing for the winter by letting go of that which no longer serves us.

ways to celebrate 🍂

mabon is a great time for protection, prosperity, and cleansing. especially related to the home.

do a gratitude ritual

get rid of what no longer serves you, whether physically or more symbolically

hold a mabon dinner with foods of the season.

celebrate persephone and her descent into the underworld

visit a farm or vineyard

make an autumn vision board or playlist (my personal favorite)

redecorate your altar or space in general

forage for herbs, plants, etc.

meditate & reflect on yourself

tend to your garden or plants

spend time outside, observe the seasons changing
