The September
Equinox is always a beautiful, natural phenomenon worthy of our recognition
and honor. On this particular holiday, we cry and we laugh.
Mabon puts
us in touch with the transformational elements of life here on Earth.
This is a bittersweet stop on the ever-turning Wheel of the Year.
The Autumn
Equinox /Mabon ritual carries the wisdom of the ages
and hopefully divine inspiration, which will give sacred life and meaning
to the many challenges and changes we face, and to the light and shadows
around us.
We, as
priestesses (all females) and priests (all males) paint little blue
tears on our faces. Some of us literally cry, morning the gradual disappearance
of the Sun, but then we immediately rejoice and thank the Mother for
giving birth to the Son, for holding him in Her womb, and for nurturing
him.
Purpose:
Rituals in general, help to reconnect
us us with a heightened sense of spritiuality. By participating
we become more fluent in communing with experiences that often defy
understanding in the physical world. In a ritual we can
balance reality or our position in everyday society
with Nature. We might discover the need for a change in our lives,
or we might convey a passionate commitment to protect our environment.
Rituals are insightful, empathetic, and enjoyable.
EVERYONE MUST BRING A DISH
OF ANY KIND FOR US ALL TO PARTAKE IN THIS GIANT HARVEST FESTIVAL FEAST.

etc. Let’s give thanks. A true buffet style Harvest Dinner.
