Saturday, September 5, 2009
The Wiccan calendar contains 13 full moons (Esbats) and 8 Sabbats, or days of power, making 21 Wiccan ritual occasions. The Esbats are for celebrating the Goddess. The Sabbats mark the sun's yearly cycle and tell the story of The Wheel of the Year. On this day, the length of night time is equal to the length of daytime.
Mabon is a celebration of life and death, and giving of life again, the cycle of the seasons. Mabon is a time to enjoy the fruits of a hard year's labor, to stock up for the long winter. No matter how you celebrate Mabon, or how it came about, or whatever it's true name may be, it is important to know that Mabon a time for giving thanks.

How goes it, lovely woman?
I actually danced a bit under the moon last night...
HA! lol, to funny, we had ESP together, as you were writing this, I was browsing the web reminding myself of all the 'Mabon' relationships (colors, scents, etc) and planning my holiday dinner. (the ginger asked me if we could have a really nice dinner for that night)
Hi, sweet Jill. You and Main Man are still very much in love. I've not danced in forever.
Hi Witchy! Great minds and all that...! I especially love this time and love to represent it in a special way. As soon as the temperature drops I start getting all giddy.
