Since this festivity is near, I thought that I could share a little bit of my knowledge about it. Yes, I’m talking about:
(This post will also be in Spanish so it can also be accessible to my Spanish speakers)
This will be very schematic and remember that YOU DON’T HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS RULE BY RULE. This is not the absolute “truth” and you can modify this information and use it as you please.
Mabon is the second of the three Harvest Sabbats and occurs during the fall equinox.
During this holiday we celebrate abundance and balance, and we thank the Earth and the Sun, since thanks to them we obtain all the goods (food, plants, etc) and it is time to celebrate it.
It is a time of rest and recollection, and we can take the time to learn to let go of what is not necessary to continue with our lives.
We can also say that it is the moment to do magical works that have to do with the interior, with the journey within oneself: Shadow work.
We celebrate the dual nature of life and death, past and future are linked.
