Mabon is the second harvest of the year and a time for expressing gratitude for all of the blessings in life. It is a time of plenty and abundance, not just for food, but in other aspects of life as well.
There are many ways to celebrate Mabon, from having a great feast with family and friends and making your own wine, to harvesting apples and simply counting your blessings. Below is a ritual for Mabon that will focus on giving thanks for our blessings and includes a spell to bring balance and harmony into your life.
