It is the time of the autumn equinox, and the harvest is winding down. 

The fields are nearly empty because the crops have been plucked and stored for the coming winter. 

Mabon is depending on your beliefs about the mid-harvest or end festival. 

It is when we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons.  

It is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings.

It's a time of plenty, of gratitude, a time to the balance between light and dark and of sharing our abundance with those less fortunate. 

It is also the time of self reflection. 

A time for balance. 

A time to take a moment and center and realign yourself. 

Breath. 

Take a moment ~ Let the stress of the day to day dissipate.

Autumn has come. 

The year ripens into maturity. 

Now day and night stand equal, so we give harvest thought to the balance and flow in our own lives

We celebrate the abundance of the land, in the harvest and the hunt.

Let us honor all the hard work that went into producing what we now enjoy.

From discipline and diligence come the fruits of our labors

From experience and reflection come wisdom.

This is the time of giving thanks and spreading joy

Each year brings its own lessons and rewards.

Each year brings us things to make us grateful.

We have sown, and tended and gathered

Now we name the fruits of our harvest
