The days are noticeably shorter and there is a chill in the night air in the Northern hemisphere. Some of the trees are beginning to don their Autumn colours as we approach the dark season of the year.
Mabon is the second harvest festival of the year, occurring on the 21st or 22nd of September. The apple and grape harvests are celebrated. Vegetables, fruits and herbs are ready to be picked and preserved for the coming Winter.
A time for giving thanks! And also a time to evaluate the progress made on goals set earlier in the year. Did everything work out as planned?
Wishing everyone a fruitful harvest!

Happy Mabon, Magickmermaid.
I lean into the rising shadow & eye my autumn sweater!

Thanks, Ellie! Autumn and Spring are the best seasons, I think. π And as long as one has warm enough clothes, Winter isn’t so bad.
