Harmony house foods11/2/2023 ![]() If you don’t have access to your own greenery, a visit to the local farmer’s market or even a short walk in the woods can provide plenty of Mabon decorations for your home.įor many families Mabon falls right at the start of the school year and it can be hard to plan a big celebration, especially if it falls during the mid week. I’m lucky to have my own cutting flowers and trees to collect acorns and pinecones from. I like to bring in both fresh and dried flowers and gourds to place throughout my kitchen and other living spaces. One of the easiest (and most fun IMO) ways to celebrate Mabon is decorating your home for autumn. Stones: Amber, citrine, cat’s eye, aventurine, sapphire, jasperĭeities: Mabon, Green Man, Demeter, Persephone, Morgan, Pomona, Inanna Herbs: Yarrow, rosemary, sage, mugwort, rosehips, Symbols: Cornucopia (horn of plenty), pinecones, seedsĬolors: Orange, red, yellow, brown, copper, dark yellow, dark greenįoods: Corn, beans, squash, apples, pumpkins, cider, root vegetables, pomegranate, wine Indeed, the Greek goddess Demeter is much more closely associated with the Autumn harvest, as it was her grief at losing her daughter that turned the earth from lush abundance to barren cold.Īs the Wheel of the year comes to an end, Mabon is a good time to set intentions that involve decrease and reduction such as ending bad relationships, unhealthy habits or self destructive beliefs. As a baby Mabon was said to have been held hostage as a baby in the underworld, similar to the story of Persephone and Demeter. Similar to Apollo, the figure of Mabon was depicted as a handsome youth with a lyre. Named after the ancient Welsh hero named Mabon ap Modron, which means Son of Mother, Mabon is the second of three harvest festivals that take place in the Wheel of the Year ( Lughnasadh is the first and Samhain is the third). Modern Pagans began celebrating Mabon as the last of the eight Sabbats in the 1970s, but its roots as a harvest festival go back to ancient times. It’s also a good time to reflect on the Wheel of the Year, recognizing your successes and letting go of the things that did not serve you during the past twelve months. Modern Mabon celebrations are a time to give thanks for the abundance of Mother Earth - both literally and spiritually. In ancient times Mabon was a celebration of the second harvest ( Lughnasadh was the first) when farmers gathered hearty foods like gourds, pumpkins, grapes and apples.
