Mabon, The Autumn Equinox, is celebrated on September 20th or 21st. It is a harvest festival that is known as the Witches’ Thanksgiving. It’s also a time to thank our ancestors for making us who we are.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decorate your home and/or alter with the colors burgundy, orange, brown and purple. Use bunches of dried herbs, sunflowers, autumn leaves, acorns potatoes and Indian corn in your décor.

  2. Step 2

    Invite friends and family over for a feast.

  3. Step 3

    Honor family ancestors by recalling stories of those who have gone before us and looking at old photographs.

  4. Step 4

    This is a time to celebrate wine making. Take a tour of a local winery or make your own.

  5. Step 5

    Since this is a harvest festival, collect food to donate to a food bank so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of a “harvest”. Thanksgiving isn’t just about saying “thank you”, it’s also important to give back for all you’ve received in life.
