Mabon [MAY-bon
Autumn Equinox (Sept 20-23)
“Mabon” is a modern name for the Autumn Equinox, drawn from Welsh myth. The equinox itself marks another moment of equal light and dark before descent into winter.
The Autumn Equinox is balance tipping toward darkness. It is the second harvest — fruit, wine, preservation. While the name “Mabon” is contemporary, the astronomical event has long shaped agricultural rhythm.
Within this section, you’ll find articles on equinox astronomy, preservation traditions, wine symbolism, descent myths, and the measured closing of the year.
