contuzii

"With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?"

Tonight dragons blood & myrrh burned while I cleansed myself of stagnant energy, set intentions for the following cycle, and did a new moon spread 🌑💗After a week of daydreaming about this beautiful incense/resin burner I saw at an antique shop, I had to bring it home. It seemed appropriate to use it for the first time on a new moon

[blooooom]

the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.

Mabon Prayer

Mabon Prayer

We thank you Oh Gods for the abundance of which we have received on this harvest. We are grateful for the lives and relationships that have positively and warmly affected our life this year. We ask that as we journey into the darkness, your light will continue to shine in our lives. When the darkness and cold surround our bodies, we ask that your guidance and love bring warmth to our souls. We thank the earth, wind, and spirits for the bringing of the seasons as we embrace Autumn. In your names we say this prayer. Thank you.

“Come Little Leaves”

By: George Cooper

“Come, little leaves, ” said the wind one day, 

“Come o'er the meadows with me and play; 

Put on your dresses of red and gold, 

For summer is gone and the days grow cold.”

Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call, 

Down they came fluttering, one and all; 

Over the brown fields they danced and flew, 

Singing the glad little songs they knew. 

“Cricket, good-by, we’ve been friends so long, 

Little brook, sing us your farewell song; 

Say you are sorry to see us go; 

Ah, you will miss us, right well we know. 

"Dear little lambs in your fleecy fold, 

Mother will keep you from harm and cold; 

Fondly we watched you in vale and glade, 

Say, will you dream of our loving shade? " 

Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went, 

Winter had called them, and they were content; 

Soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds, 

The snow laid a coverlid over their heads.

MABON

a beginners guide to the sabbat mabon

MABON DATES 2019:

NH: 21st-29th sepetember with the autumn equinox on the 23rd.

SH: 21st-29th march with the autumn equinox on the 23rd.

What is it?

Mabon is the autumn celebration of balance. It’s the day equal day and equal night. Mabon is the time to pay respect to the darker days coming, but also give thanks to the summer and harvest that we’re leaving behind. It’s the time for rest, rejuvenation, letting go and showing thanks.

What is associated with it?

Mabon is associated with earthy colours such as red,brown and green, apples,berries, ground vegetables, spices, leaves that have fallen and acorns. The crystals that are associated with the sabbat are quartz, amber and anything in those yellows and reds.

Activities to do :

give thanks and offerings to summer related deities such as Apollo

complete any unfinished projects and resolve any issues

harvest the final batch of herbs to dry

decorate your alter or shrines

burn incense (apple,sage, ginger etc)

wear mabon coloured clothes

meditate

now is the sabbat to perform protection and balance spells

honour spirits and ancestors, and leave offerings to nature and in graveyards for the spirits still walking

have a meal with loved ones (it’s our thanksgiving basically)

FOOD!! : breads, meats, any comfort food

relax and clean your room for the upcoming winter

remove any negative energies for summer

Hellenic Mabon:

This is the start of autumn and so this is when I celebrate Persephone being reunited with Hades. You can use this sabbat to learn more about them, contact them, give offerings etc. Use this day to celebrate their reunion and pay your respects and show they how happy you are for them.
