So this coming Saturday, or Sunday, is Mabon. My Witches Calendar has it down for Saturday so I'll be celebrating it on Saturday. Mabon is the second harvest festival and the last Sabbath before the Witches New Year. It's also when the light and dark are of equal measure and this time the dark wins and we really start noticing the shortening of the days. We start noticing that the leaves are falling and the earth officially starts to slumber.
Mabon isn't named after a god, which makes it perfect for steampunk witches in my own opinion. This ritual will give thanks to the spirits and the gods, though I will not be naming them (they know who they are) and ask them to protect the family as we enter the darkness that's the earth's rest and the lack of warmth and heat. I will be writing down the ritual for Mabon in my SBOS (Steam Book of Shadows) so that I can do the ritual again next year.
I do hope that all of you will have a good Mabon and may the gods and spirits protect you.
