Mabon - The Autumn Equinox - Approx. September 23rd

This is a day of balance between light and dark. The Goddess and the God are thought to have equal power on this night, and all the forces of good and evil as well. This is a good time for Pination and marks the end of the second harvest. By this time most the crops were gathered. Mabon begins the season of autumn, when we go into the dark season where most life sleeps for a short time. This is nearing the time when the God dies and goes to the underworld. The old God is preparing himself for his sacrificial death at Samhain, and the Goddess is entering her Crone aspect, storing her wisdom that she has learned over the years. Yet she is still pregnant with the seed of the God who she will birth at Yule.
