The Wiccan name for the autumnal equinox is Mabon. This name derives from Welsh mythology, specifically from the figure Mabon ap Modron. Mabon is seen as the child of the Earth Mother, Modron, and is associated with youth, vitality, and the harvest. In Wiccan tradition, Mabon is celebrated as a time of balance and gratitude, as it marks the halfway point between the summer and winter solstices. During this season, Wiccans give thanks for the abundance of the harvest and prepare for the coming winter months. Rituals and celebrations often involve feasting, giving thanks to the Earth, and connecting with nature.
At one moment in The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, two paleontologists show a traumatized witness of the Beast’s attack a series of drawings of dinosaurs. Shuffling through drawing after drawing all different, all with their distinctive scientific names, the witness finally identifies one as the terrifying creature he saw, a creature that the paleontologists identify as “Rhedosaurus,” a species supposed, of course, to be extinct.

The leading Satanist reaches out for the movie s heroine, and the scene abruptly changes to show an ambulance ringing its bell loudly it is unrelated to what happens to the heroine.
Rituals and celebrations often involve feasting, giving thanks to the Earth, and connecting with nature. Mabon is a time to honor the cycles of nature and the importance of balance in our lives..
