Mabon is the autumn equinox! My favourite kind of equinox. This year Mabon starts on Wednesday 21st September and ends on Thursday September 29th. That's a lot of time to celebrate! Mabon is a celebration of balance. The days and nights are now equal again and it's time to give thanks for what the summer has brought us. It's also time to let go of anything you may be clinging on to.

Hello my fellow pagan! Thank you for these wonderful ways to celebrate Mabon. I've added a few that I already didn't use into my BoS! We should definitely chat more about modern or eclectic paganism!
