Symbols of Mabon Cornucopia - The 'Horn of Plenty' Gourds - Used for decoration during the fall and then as useful tools once dried and prepared. Wine - The fruit of the grape vine is harvested at this time of year, pressed and fermented. Originally done in a sacred fashion, which made wine, and the partaking of it a sacred thing. Grains - The fruit of the harvests, it is these grains which will see us through the winter. Our ancestors believed that the Goddess (or God, depending on the tradition) retreated into the last of the grain to be harvested, there to remain until Spring, when life would be renewed by the grains sprouting again once planted. Pomegranates - A reminder to us of the time Persephone spent (and will spend again) in the Underworld. Nuts - The fruits of the trees, which will help sustain life during the winter months. Fall Leaves - The beauty of the colors. The vivid reminder that trees are preparing for winter... and so should we. |
