MABON by Kristin Madden

Celebrating the Autumn Equinox

$14.95

Celebrate the Balance of Light and Dark

As the leaves explode in a riot of fiery hues and the crisp fall days grow shorter, we celebrate the Autumn Equinox.  At this time of equal day and night, we give thanks for the harvest that will sustain us through the dark winter months.  We reflect on all that the waning year has brought us, so we may choose wisely those seeds we wish to sow in the new year.

    Mabon includes the history and mythology associated with this special time of balance, and a cornucopia of ideas for celebrating the Autumn Equinox:

Mabon myths: Explore harvest myths, customs, and rituals from around the world

Fun facts: Learn why the leaves change color, how animals migrate, and what the equinox means to astrologers and astronomers

Magickal Mabon: Bring your life into balance with spells for protection, prosperity, and more
