The Spiral Dance with Hawthorne|Celebrating Mabon; The Autumnal Equinox Episode
“Farewell, O Sun; ever-returning Light, The Hidden God, who ever yet remains.
He now departs to the Land of Youth, through the Gates of Death,
to dwell enthroned, as the Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air!
Yet, as He stands unseen without the Circle, so dweleth He within the Secret Seed;
-the Seed of New-reaped grain, the Seed of Flesh;
Hidden in Earth, the marvelous Seed of Stars.
In Him is Life, and Life is the Light of Man. That which was Never Born, Never Dies.
Therefore, the Wise Ones weep not, but Rejoice.”
This week on The Spiral Dance, the Wheel turns once again and we approach the Autumnal Equinox, or what Celtic Wiccans call “Mabon”.
If you count Samhain as the first sabbat of the year, then Mabon is the last. It occurs this year on Monday, the twenty-second of September.
I want to share some thoughts with you about Mabon, and included in this, I will present a ritual which I think is very appropriate for this time of year; it’s called, “Shedding Skin”.
Hope you enjoy the show!
