Important Life Seasons That Impact Our Compatibility with Ourselves and Others

Mabon is the eighth spoke along the Wheel of the Year. Celebrated on the autumn equinox, Mabon is a minor sabbat that honors nature for another bountiful harvest (the other major harvest celebrations being Lughnasadh in August and Samhain in October.) In her book Practical Magic: A Beginner's Guide to Crystals, Horoscopes, Psychics, and Spells, author Nikki Van De Car writes, “On the fall equinox the hours of sunlight are equal to the hours of darkness, so Mabon is about seeking balance – and about respecting the darker aspects of life, since so many of the other holidays are about honoring the sun. It is also a time to give thanks and reflect on all that we have been given throughout the year.”
