Ways to celebrate Mabon
Mabon is rolling around and for those of you who are having a hard time thinking of what to do, I did a lot of thinking and I compiled a list of what I'll be doing.
#1. Setting up your autumn altar. It's hard not to do it early, since I love doing it, but I'm currently getting items for my autumn altar to prepare for Mabon. If you've never done this, it's rather fun and I really encourage you to change your altar depending on the seasons. It's good for connecting us to nature and the world around us.
#2. Apple doll making. Apple dolls are skinned apples that have been carved into the shape of a face, and you allow them to dry, which wrinkles them and makes a face that looks old, like an elderly person. They're soaked in lemon-salt water, so they have strong protective properties, and for those of you who have a Yule tree, make the Mabon apple dolls into ornaments for your tree! It's so much fun to make them, and so easy, just look up a tutorial or ask me in the comments, I'll gladly explain as in depth as you'd like.
#3. Baked Apples. Baked apples are another apple recipe, and I had a blast making these last year. They're just cored apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and other ingredients stuffed inside (Roasted walnuts and cranberries are popular add ins). I associate them with abundance, because cinnamon is such a prominent ingredient. They're fun to make, and I wrap them with pie crust.
#4. Connect with your ancestors. For me this means taking a nature walk, making baked apples (my great grandmother's specialty), baking bread, and spending time by my favorite river. The river reminds me of time passing, with water smoothed rocks to collect and shells by the sandy shore of the water, it all just brings me to a place where my ancestors are. No matter what that is for you, connecting to your ancestors is easier in the autumn and it's a good time to go back to your roots.
#5. Make an abundance spell. For me, this spell will take the form of an enchanted bracelet. Mabon is a celebration of the harvest, and since most of us don't have a harvest to collect, we can draw in abundance during this symbolic time.
I hope this helps your celebration, for me I'll be joining Mabon with celebrating my witchcraft anniversary, so I couldn't include everything I'm doing, but I intended for this to be a building stone for you to try to add to. Have a nice day, peace and blessings!
This is also a wonderful time of year to focus your energies inward towards personal growth and manifestation. So, to start off the season, this post includes 42 Mabon activities that are accessible, fun, and honour well this special change of season to help make your day a festive one. Pick one, two or twenty-five, whatever works!
Through Jack's journey, the authors convey the message that love and determination can conquer even the most impossible of tasks. The Talisman 2016 is a thrilling and thought-provoking novel that will captivate readers with its vivid world-building and engaging characters. It serves as a worthy continuation to the original story and is a must-read for fans of Stephen King and Peter Straub..
