Ancestors, Gratitude & The Coming Dark: What Mabon Asks You to Carry
Every harvest is built on the work of the dead. The seeds came from last year's harvest. The knowledge of which field drains well was inherited from someone who is gone. Mabon's ancestor work is not about the dead returning — it is about the living turning toward the dead deliberately, in the light that makes the old things look most themselves, before the door opens at Samhain and the dead have their say regardless.
