Mabon is my favourite Sabbat. It has always been. I really enjoy the autumn and its fresher weather alongside its colors. There’s another detail, but it’s not that important, Mabon here in the southern hemisphere starts around March 20th and my birthday is on March 22nd. It feels special to me.
Mabon, a celebration rooted in the ancient traditions of the autumn equinox, marks the time when day and night are equal, symbolizing balance and reflection. Celebrated by modern Pagans and Wiccans, Mabon is a time to give thanks for the harvest and the abundance of the earth.
If you’re new to my website or if you’re learning now about these celebrations, I invite you to read about the definition of Mabon and also tips for having a great Mabon Ritual.
In this article, I’m going to share some Mabon recipes that you can prepare for your celebration.
Let’s start?
