Autumn Leaves

How time flies. It’s the Autumn Equinox already, marked in the Pagan calendar as Harvest Home, the Feast of the Ingathering, Meán Fómhair, Alban Elfed, or Mabon—the last of these being a relatively recent descriptive, coined by Aidan Kelly around 1970 referencing Mabon ap Modron, a figure in Welsh mythology.

Whatever you call the Autumn Equinox, in spiritual terms it is a ritual of thanksgiving for the food the spring and summer months have produced, and we are well advised to share them with others to secure the blessings of the Goddess and God during the winter months.

I’d like to wish all my readers a very happy Mabon, and every blessing.

  1. hi my name is sarah and who knows a blessing for a magic broomstick???

  2. Hi Sarah, if you mean a broomstick for ritual use you could use salt or burning sage purification with a simple incantation of your own making. It's important to dedicate it solely for ritual purpose and not to use it to actually sweep up muck! :-)
