Mabon/Autumn Equinox

It's a perfect time to start over, letting go of the negativity and embracing a more positive future.



Today is the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, where the nights become longer than the days, as the North Pole tilts away from the sun. We commonly know it as the first day of fall, in the Pagan world the equinox is called Mabon, or Second Harvest. It is a time to give thanks for the summer and to pay tribute to the coming darkness. It is also a time of preparing for Samhain (October 31–November 1), the bigger pagan festival that begins winter.
