Before we start, I’d like to inform you that this topic has been broken down in 3 posts since I’d like to share some Spells, Deity Spells and Kitchen Magic, before the actual celebration, to make the entire thing more readable and give our fellow witches enough time to get ready!
I will also share a Mabon Masterpost with all the content I’ve posted regarding the festivity.
This is a list of spells that are a MUST for Mabon!
⛤An Acorn Mabon Spell for Prosperity
Marker or paint with paintbrush
Small spell bag or sachet
Small bell (you can get these from craft shops)
Cleanse your space in whatever way you prefer.
Set the magical Mabon mood – turn on music, burn incense, light a few candles, etc.
Gather your ingredients and tools.
Cast a circle, if you so choose, and invoke the elements.
Hold your acorn in your hands and envision prosperity flowing from the acorn into your hands and through your entire body like a soft orange light.
Keep the acorn in your left hand and pick up the little bell in your right.
Say the following 9 times:
“Blessings of oak, earth and the Mabon season.
Flow through this acorn into my home.
Each time the front door opens,
The Mabon bell rings and prosperity flows in.”
Now draw or paint the Mabon symbol onto the acorn
Place the acorn and bell in the small bag.
Thank the earth, Mabon spirits, and energies present. (Release your circle if you cast one).
Hang the Mabon spell bag on your front door, until the Autumn season has ended.
Then bury the acorn near the front door. Cleanse and re-use the bell.
⛤A Mabon Bath Spell for Balance
Wherever balance is needed, decide you’re ready to improve those things and cast this Mabon spell.
Sunflower petals: linked to the Sun and properties include good luck and joy.
Also a traditional herb used on Mabon.
Chamomile: also linked to the Sun and properties include prosperity and warding off negative energy.
Rosemary: for purification, health, and clarity of mind and memory
3 crystals (of your choice, but I recommend clear quartz, citrine, and amber)
Cleanse the space and set the mood. Turn down the lights and turn on some music, if you choose.
Draw a warm bath and add the herbs to the water (if you have a bag, add your herbs to the bag and then to the water. This makes clean-up much easier!)
Place the 3 crystals around 3 sides of the bathtub (not in the water, but on the tub itself).
Get in and soak while focusing on balance.
Meditate on what balance means to you and how you could use more of it.
You can chant or repeat the following incantation:
“I invoke the energies of Mabon,
We welcome the Autumn season,
May the balance of night and day
Bring my life balance in every way.”
Soak in the bath for as long as you feel it’s necessary.
Then emerge feeling balanced within yourself and all around you.
Mabon is observed on an equinox, a time when there are equal parts of light and day. It is the perfect time to reassess and work toward balance in all parts of your life.
Set up your altar to reflect the harvest.
Place a black and a white candle on opposite sides of the altar, and place a piece of parchment in between them.
On this paper, write down the aspects of your life that you feel need to be brought into balance.
As you contemplate those aspects, light the candles and say:
"As day and night are now in balance,
so to let my life find balance."
This is a ritual to honor the duality of life and death, sadness and celebration.
Some spring flowering bulbs
Place one white and one black candle on your altar.
In the center, place one red apple to represent Avalon, the Land of Apples where some traditions believe Mabon was held captive
As a symbol of rebirth, also have on hand a small bowl of spring-flowering bulbs
Light the candles and say:
"You walk the paths of darkness and
You do not fear the coming of the night.
Again you'll rise from the mists of
For you are Mabon, the Great Son."
As a lasting tribute to this holiday, plant the bulbs. When they bloom in the spring, you'll remember Mabon and the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
