Description

Everyone welcome! Now the fall is almost here, the Wheel turns again and life goes on. We adapt. And as without, so within. The magic of Mabon, and the fall season in most magical traditions, is a time of deep spiritual communication, signaling the beginning of a season of transformation. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the light of summer grows shorter, the nights grow longer, and the leaves on the trees begin to change colors, a physical manifestation of the change we too are going through. But change, even positive change, is rarely easy. In this blog, I’m sharing my thoughts about Mabon and the fall equinox – the sacred search for balance. Mabon welcomes an internal focus, a deeper kind of reflection. Bombarded with new information every single day, Mabon prompts us to take a moment. It’s time to look back on the year and acknowledge both what we have grown as well as what we have released. The autumnal equinox is one of two dates in the year when day and night are of equal length. In Latin, equinox means “equal night,” and it’s an energetic cusp of perfect balance; as we cross over, we step into the shadowy half of the year. We remember that even nature spends the majority of its time seeking balance. This time of year also syncs to the ever-seeking sign of balance, Libra. Libra is motivated by love, relationships, and beauty – key elements when we’re in search of balance. When we tap into the energy of Libra, that charming, cooperative energy, we help to bring ourselves and the world around us into greater equilibrium. It can be tempting to come down hard on ourselves and on others, but that only serves to perpetuate negative cycles and highlight our impatience. Instead, Mabon encourages us to remember that the things we have control over fall on a pretty short list – our attitudes being one of them. During times of uncertainty, it can be easy to panic, lose faith, or waste time trying to hold tight to the illusion of control. Instead, we can choose gratitude, for the good, the bad, and the ugly – for the process – and when we do, we open the door to expansion, peace, and balance. At Mabon, we practice gratitude, we acknowledge what we need to release, and let go of it. Let's meet at Camp Long for a releasing and a potluck! Bring something to eat or drink, and think about what you want to release.
