Celebrating the Wiccan Harvest: A Guide to the Wheel of the Year

By admin

Wiccan harvest time refers to the special time of year in the Wiccan religious calendar when witches and practitioners of Wicca gather to celebrate and give thanks for the abundance of the Earth. This time is also known as the harvest festival or the Wiccan holiday of Mabon. Typically falling around the autumn equinox, which occurs in late September, the Wiccan harvest time is a celebration of the changing seasons and the transition from summer to autumn. It is a time to honor the bountiful harvest and the fruits of the Earth, expressing gratitude for the sustenance and abundance that nature provides. During this period, Wiccans often perform rituals and ceremonies that focus on giving thanks, offering prayers, and reflecting on the cycle of life and death. The harvest theme is central during this time, symbolizing the cycle of planting, growth, and harvesting that occurs in nature.



Mighty Dub Katz - Magic Carpet Ride (1995)

This was Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) & G-Money as The Mighty Dub Katz. WKTU used to play this a lot in 1996. The Ulti edit is my favorite version. I used to find it funny back then because parts of song sounded like a combination of chicken and rapid sex LOL. The song contains a sample of Chakachas' recording "Yo Soy Cubano" from 1970, and Sandee's recording "Notice Me" from 1988.

In KTU's year end chart of 1996, it came in at number 52.

I was a big fan of this then and I still love it now. It's amazing how Norman took so few vocal samples from the Notice The House Acapella version of Sandee's "Notice Me" and made this with it. You have most certainly heard bits and pieces of this acapella in other Dance and House tracks throughout the years.

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all liars their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. Behold, I am coming soon. I am the alpha and the omega. The first and the last. The beginning and the end.

One of my all-time favorite 90s house/dance records. I heard this song a lot on B96 (both in the mixes and on regular rotation) back then. However, I didn't know this was Fatboy Slim until much later (I'm more used to his late 90s/early 2000s material such as "The Rockerfeller Skank").

Reviews for "Welcoming the Autumn Equinox: Wiccan Rituals for Mabon"

1. Jessie - 2 stars - While I appreciate stories that delve into the world of witches and magic, "Wiccan Harvest Time" fell flat for me. The plot felt disjointed, and the characters lacked depth. There were too many subplots introduced without proper development, leaving me confused and uninterested. Overall, the story lacked a cohesive narrative and failed to engage me as a reader.
2. Max - 1 star - I was really disappointed with "Wiccan Harvest Time." The writing style was convoluted and difficult to follow. The author seemed more focused on describing the setting and the rituals than developing a strong plot. Additionally, the characters felt flat and their actions were predictable. I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver.
3. Olivia - 2 stars - "Wiccan Harvest Time" promised an intriguing exploration of witchcraft and pagan traditions, but it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was slow, and the story lacked tension and excitement. The protagonist was underdeveloped, and I found it hard to connect with her. The book felt more like a collection of random events rather than a cohesive narrative. Overall, it did not meet my expectations and left me feeling disappointed.
4. Ethan - 1 star - I found "Wiccan Harvest Time" to be poorly written and poorly edited. The grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures were distracting and took away from the story. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to engage with the characters. Additionally, the book seemed to rely on tired and clichéd tropes, adding nothing new or original to the genre. I would not recommend this book to others.
