ierne (Morrighan Corvidae) of Glas Celli presents a short handbook to introduce traditional pagan information, ritual, meal plan and activities for new pagan families celebrating Mabon.
Mabon, also known as Alban Elfed, Harvest Home, and Second Harvest, is celebrated at the Autumnal Equinox which generally falls between the 21st and 23rd of September.
The autumnal equinox is the time of pagan thanksgiving, and we celebrate it in a similar manner. We give thanks for the wealth of the harvest, for the summer past, and ask boons for the winter ahead. Feasting, sharing and group activities are commonplace not only in our pagan community, but also in physical communities all over North America. Fall suppers have begun, people from all over come together to create huge, traditional meals for their neighbors and others to enjoy.
