Mabon is usually celebrated between 20th-23rd September and celebrates the second harvest of fruits and vegetables. The grain harvest being gathered since Lughnasadh (Lammas) is safely in and is now joined by an abundance of fruit and vegetables.

The Goddess is in her zenith as Harvest Queen/Mother Nature, releasing the reward of labour and reverence of her Land that was promised in the days of Spring and Summer, before She turns into the her Crone aspect for winter, bringing decay, destruction and death. The God has sacrificed himself with the cutting of the last grain before he can return in the spring.

Alban Elfed comes from Welsh, meaning 'light of autumn’ and is used by some modern pagan and druids. The name Mabon was probably applied quite recently. Mabon is a Welsh deity, son of Modron, who is an Earth/Mother Goddess. Mabon is the Child of Light and has similarities with Lugh. He was abducted from his mother when he was three days old and was thrown into a prison for eons until he was saved by the knights of Culhwch and King Arthur, after asking many creatures for aid. He emerges reborn as a Sun God and becomes the champion and protector of his Mother, Goddess of the Land. He is a God of Hope and Freedom; he frees caught animals and weakens the chains of all those who are unjustly imprisoned. He protects all that is wild and free and is honoured whenever animals and people are defended or freed.

What did you begin working on earlier in the year that you can now harvest. What do you have in abundance? What do you need to gather to sustain you through the winter months? What do you hope for? How will you free yourself from a difficult situation or relationship?

Mabon (Autumnal Equinox)

It is the time of the Autumnal Equinox. The Earth is tilted on its axis, meaning that as it orbits the Sun, the Sun illuminates the northern or southern hemisphere more depending on where the Earth is along its orbit. However, at two points in the year the Sun will illuminate the northern and southern hemispheres equally. These are known as the equinoxes and the autumn one is usually between 20th-23rd September. This year the Autumn Equinox falls on Monday 22 September at 19:19 BST

Briefly, night and day are of equal length and in perfect equilibrium; dark and light, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, all in balance. From this cusp of transition, the days begin to wane, and darkness begins to defeat the light. The natural cycle is moving towards completion; the Sun's power is waning; the nights grow longer, and the days are shorter and cooler. The sap of trees returns to their roots deep in the earth, changing the green of summer to the fire of the flaming reds, oranges and golds of autumn. We are returning to the dark from whence we came.

Which areas of your life are balanced, and which need balancing? What is fading and needs to be let go? What will you withdraw from? Where will you focus your inner light as the outer light fades?

The Meeting of Two Bears

In the heart of the forest, where the canopy sways with whispers of wind and the ground holds the memory of countless footsteps, two great bears stood facing one another. They were not enemies, nor were they strangers. Their eyes, locked in a quiet exchange, carried the weight of seasons passed—the hardships endured, the triumphs celebrated, and the silent wisdom of survival.

They pressed their foreheads together, not in challenge but in recognition. Their massive arms intertwined like the roots of ancient trees, strong yet tender, unyielding yet filled with grace. In that moment, the world around them seemed to hush. The leaves stopped rustling, the birds paused in mid-song, and the earth itself leaned in to witness this sacred union.

The bears knew that life was not only about strength, but about balance. Each scar across their fur told of battles fought—against hunger, against storms, against solitude. Yet here, in the embrace of another, those scars no longer spoke of pain. They became stories, reminders of resilience, and proof that even the fiercest creatures longed for connection.

To the people who watched the bears from afar, the scene was more than nature’s display. It was a lesson written in living form: that even power needs gentleness, that even solitude yearns for understanding, and that every being carries a heart that beats not only for survival but also for belonging.

The two bears lingered in their embrace, not bound by time, but by the quiet truth that strength shared is greater than strength alone. And as they parted, the forest exhaled, returning to its rhythm, carrying forward the echo of their silent vow—a reminder that love, in all its forms, is the deepest victory of life.
