Hey there! 👋🏼 I'm Helga. Certified western astrologer and tarot researcher based in Montenegro.
Mabon, aka the Autumn Equinox, is one of the three harvest celebrations. If you are planning a ritual or celebration, knowing the Mabon Correspondences can help.
Ahh Mabon! The season when bright orange pumpkins begin to pop up in stores. Sweet apple pies become a downright necessity. Cinnamon-laced coffee feels like a caffeinated hug. The weather dips to a crisp 90*. Err....if you're stuck in the desert. One thing this New England native will never understand is women who wear Uggs in 90*, which is a common autumn staple in this not-so-autumn-like land. Listen, I get that fuzzy boots are cute and the calendar says September, but it's flipping 90*. Take your hipster scarf back into Starbucks and make that pumpkin latte iced, mmmkay? Whew, got a little heated there. A thousand apologies. That's what happens when you drop Celtic blood into BFE, New Mexico. Fortunately, this is my LAST Mabon in the Southwest. Oh, that's right! Your days are numbered, hot September! *she yelled, shaking her fist at a befuddled cresote bush* Meanwhile, back on planet Earth... Considered the first day of autumn, Mabon is the fall equinox, meaning daylight and darkness are in balance. And while the equinox can fall anywhere between the 20th-23rd, this year Mabon lands on the 22nd. Mark your calendars and get the pumpkins ready, my friend! If you're looking for more information on Mabon, such as appropriate foods and colors, click here to check out last year's five ways to celebrate. They're still relevant and still free, so definitely worth the visit. But if you're looking for five MORE ways to celebrate, I've got you covered! Welcome in the darkness As the sun sets on Mabon, we welcome in the darkness of the coming season. Grab a blanket, some lawn chairs, and allow yourself to be fully in the moment as the sun sets this equinox. Once the orange globe has dipped below the horizon, breathe in the darkness of fall and honor the tranquil introspection this season inspires. With tea, of course! ;) Bring on the cozy! Having spent the last 15 years in the desert due to my husband's job requirements, what I miss most about autumn is the coziness. Soft sweaters. Knitted throws. Hot drinks. Crisp morning air. Chilly noses on rainy days. Envelop yourself in the coziness of autumn. Whether that means decorating your home in autumnal flare, pulling out those sweaters from the cedar chest, lighting a pumpkin-spice candle, or baking a cinnamon-scented apple pie, do something special that puts you in that autumn state of mind. Take it in The best part of autumn is undoubtedly the simplicity. Life seems to slow down just a little, following the graceful dance of nature herself. Take the time to slowdown alongside her. Treat yourself to a pumpkin latte, head over to your favorite park or even your own backyard, and just exist. Watch the passersby as you sip your drink. Observe the colors of autumn, the slight crisp that's beginning to blossom in the air, the chatter of birds as they prepare for winter. Breathe deep. Slow your mind. Just exist. It's something we don't do often enough, but fall is most definitely the time for it! Find balance Whether autumnal or vernal, equinoxes are the perfect opportunity to find balance, just like nature! If you've been doing a little too much of anything—eating, working, worrying, whatever!—now is the time to take a step back and evaluate how to change your behavior in favor of a more healthy approach. Remember, anything in excess is damaging. Hell, even drinking too much water will kill you. I know! Crazy, right?! If you find it difficult to disconnect from work. If your vice is copious amounts of sugar. If exercise has become obsessive. If spending has exceeded income, take the time to make positive changes. NOT to belittle and berate yourself. NOT to feel guilty and swim among the self-loathing waters. Objectively look at the situation, find a reasonable solution, and make changes. Shame doesn't fix the problem. It's a warning bell that alerts us to the need for change. Nothing more. Take a deep breath of that fresh autumn air and start again. You've got this! Cinnamon flames Like tailgating and football, autumn seems to bring out the craving for bonfires and campfires. If you're lighting one up this Mabon, toss in a couple of cinnamon sticks for good luck in the coming season. Plus your backyard will smell heavenly! Whether you use this time to reflect or to indulge, I hope you have a spectacular Mabon filled with love, coziness, and an extra dash of magick!

The days are getting shorter, the weather colder. The change comes quickly, the air suddenly feels different and you can hardly help but mourn the warmth of summer. But you may remember that every season holds its own magic, and through nature, in which it is so strongly reflected, we have the opportunity to embrace its themes. September 23 is the day when day and night are of equal length. This special event in autumn was celebrated by the Celts with the festival of Mabon. They thanked the gods for the harvest and celebrated until the next full moon, which this year falls on October 9. For the Celts, this was associated with honoring their ancestors and appeasing dark forces. The guide contains: ✨ an introduction to Mabons history and meaning ✨ a check-in page to connect with yourself and the moon ✨ a page for reflection ✨ a gratitude ritual ✨ a ritual for letting go ✨ a ritual for a concious transition ✨ a mantra writing session Please note: This is NOT a physical item.

A set of tumbled stone crystals (Clear Quartz, Amber, Aquamarine, Opal, Aventurine and Citrine) created by Beth as a set for Mabon, the Autumn Equinox. Each one has properties to help and provide support at this transitional point of the year. The set includes the six 10-20mm stones and a pouch, and comes as a set with information to explain each stone. This is one of our 'stock' items, so the photograph is an example of the set we will put together for you. Choose between Standard Shipping (no tracking number) or upgrade to Tracked & Signed For. Both services take 10 days for the US and abroad (2-3 days within the UK). PLEASE NOTE: Your set will be made for you from the tumbled stones and natural crystals we have available at the time of order, so there will be variations in colour, shape and texture to those shown in the poster. At this difficult time, the Amber may be from less usual localities, or be Young Amber, Copal - which I feel if preferable to using imitation, synthetic stones. The information we provide and the healing properties attributed to a crystal is based on an understanding of the effect of the mineral composition on us at a micro level, as well as drawing from colour and chakra association and on decades of practitioner experience. It is offered for interest and as a guide. It should not be taken as an alternative to seeking professional medical advice. Always consult a doctor if you have symptoms that persist or worry you.

Mabon (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is celebrated September 23rd this year. It marks the second harvest of the season, and is also known as the Pagan Thanksgiving. Now is the time to fully take pleasure in all that you have harvested in the past year, and celebrate with friends and family. Mabon is also called the Fall Equinox or Autumn Equinox, meaning the daytime is equal to the nighttime. This makes it the perfect time for balancing and centering before the dark time comes upon us. Traditional Earth items and foods to celebrate Mabon include acorns, apples, stalks of wheat, leaves, squash, root vegetables, pine, pomegranate, nuts and corn. Meals can be made with items representing Mabon, and these items can also be added to your altar to further connect with the harvest energies of this sacred day. Colors: Orange, red, gold, brown and yellow. Herbs: Rue, yarrow, rosemary, marigold, sage, walnut leaves and husks, mistletoe, saffron, chamomile, almond leaves, passionflower, frankincense, rose hips, bittersweet, sunflower, wheat, oak leaves, dried apple or apple seeds. Goddesses: Morgan (or Morrigan), Epona, Persephone, Freya, Isis, Ceridwen, Demeter, Pamona and the Muses. Gods: Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, Dionysus, Bacchus, Cernunnos, and The Green Man.

So, bake some bread or muffins, drink cider and wine, and reap all that you have harvested this year. Make sure to give thanks and spend some time focusing on what seeds you would like to sew for the upcoming year! Mabon Blessings to you! )O( ~Morgan *Recipe is a modified slightly, with proper magickal substitutions taken into account, from Scott Cunningham’s ‘Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews’.
