Connecting with Ancestors: Ancestral Practices during the Wiccan Autumn Equinox

The Wiccan autumn equinox, also known as Mabon, is a sacred time for practitioners of the Wiccan religion. It is celebrated on the day of the equinox, when day and night are equal in length, typically around September 21st or 22nd. This festival marks the beginning of the fall season and is a time to honor the harvest and give thanks for the abundance of the Earth. One of the main ideas of the Wiccan autumn equinox is balance. It represents the balance between light and dark, as well as the balance between the energies of the masculine and feminine. This balance is reflected in nature, with the changing of the seasons and the transition from summer to fall.
