Earth Spirit Group – Mabon Ritual
September 20 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Earth Spirit group will be holding a ritual to celebrate the fall equinox and Mabon Ritual on September 20th 2 – 4 pm in the Fireside Room. Mabon is a pagan holiday, and one of the eight sabbaths celebrated during the year. Mabon celebrates the autumnal equinox.
Many cultures see the second harvest and equinox as a time for giving thanks. This time of year is when farmers know how well their summer crops did, and how well fed their animals have become. This determines whether you and your family would have enough food for the winter. That is why people used to give thanks around this time, thanks for their crops, and animals, and food
To celebrate this holiday, many people pick apples. Apples are a common symbol of the second harvest. They may use the apples in an apple harvest ritual that thanks the gods for the bountiful harvest. Others might perform a ritual to restore balance and harmony to their lives, as this holiday celebrates a day with equal light and day. Another common ritual is to set up an altar with symbols of the season, such as apples, grapes, and other seasonal harvests.
We will celebrate through ritual, circle dance, music, and sharing of poems and reflections.
We hope you can join us. Please bring snacks to share following the ritual.
