MABON September 20-22. Celebrated on the Autumnal Equinox, date varies. LIGHT.
MABON Mabon is celebrated at the FALL EQUINOX, when day and night are again equal. Mabon is the middle of the Harvest and of the Fall season. This is the time of the Sun’s denouement, its’ slow slide into Winter and symbolic death. It is also the time of the Earth’s’ ebbing life force, as the plants of Summer bear their fruit and decrease.

The name Mabon comes from the Celtic God Mabon, or Maponos, who died every year, to be reborn in the Spring. Mabon is pronounced “MAH-bohn.”

A Solar Sabbat, Mabon is sacred to the Father God. This is the God as King and Judge, Lord of the Tribe and Elder of the community. He is the Lord of balance, law, and justice, the God of honor, and conscience. This is the God Who willingly gives His life for the renewal of the land, as a good parent would give their life for their children, or a good leader for their people. The Father God has many names, including Zeus, Nodens, Thor, Jupiter, and many others.

Mabon is also sometimes associated with the Old God, especially in His form as Dionysus, because this is the time of the grape Harvest. In this sense Mabon honors the God of ecstasy, spiritual visions, and freedom.
