Mabon / Fall (Autumnal) Equinox

Mabon is a pagan harvest festival that is celebrated on the Autumnal Equinox each year – around September 21st through September 24th. Also known as Harvest Home, this holiday marks the middle of the harvest cycle – when both the days and nights are of equal length.

It is a time to reap what you sow, a time to give thanks to Mother Earth for the bounty she provides, and a time to rest after bringing in the crops. It is also the second holiday on the Wheel of the Year, which includes other harvest festivals such as Lammas and Samhain.
