Mabon: The Autumn Equinox, Harvest Balance, and the Gathering Dark
When day and night stand equal for the second time, the world does not pause to celebrate. It tips — toward the dark, toward the inward, toward everything the year must become before it can begin again. Mabon is the autumn equinox festival of the second harvest: a moment of honest accounting, of gratitude tested by the full weight of the year, and of learning, from the turning trees, how to let go beautifully.
