Celebrating the Autumn Equinox can be beneficial by providing a time for reflection, gratitude, and letting go of what no longer serves you.

Aligning with the natural cycle of change as leaves fall, while also fostering a deeper connection to nature and promoting personal growth through introspection and setting intentions for the upcoming season; essentially marking a time for balance and inner harmony as day and night become roughly equal in length. 

Use the autumn equinox as an opportunity to engage in meditation, yoga, or other spiritual practices focused on inner balance.

Set intentions for the upcoming winter months, focusing on goals and personal development.

Hosting a meal for friends or family is a beautiful way to mark the season and reflect on the themes of balance and gratitude. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables such as apples, squash, pumpkins, and root vegetables, which symbolise the earth’s bounty. Apples, in particular, are significant for Mabon, representing the Cornucopia, or Horn of Plenty, a symbol of abundance.

Outdoor rituals: Take a nature walk or visit a sacred site. Use this time to reflect on balance and change in your life, mirroring the natural balance of day and night.

‍Create an altar: Set up a simple altar at home with autumnal items like leaves, nuts, berries, and your GypsyLune candle. This can serve as a focal point for your thoughts on gratitude and letting go.Acts of charity: Mabon is also a time to think of those less fortunate. Donating to food banks or volunteering in your community connects you to the traditional spirit of sharing the harvest.

Mindfulness and meditation: Use the equinox to meditate on balance and transition. Focus on the changes in nature and how they reflect your own life’s cycles.

I have chosen the following 2 crystals for our Mabon Candle!

Carnelian is a crystal that can be used in Mabon celebrations because it's associated with creativity, motivation, and vitality. Carnelian is also linked to the element of fire. As our Mabon occurs in the sign of Aries this is a perfect crystal!  

Carnelian can help ignite passion and enthusiasm during the autumn season. Mabon is a time to celebrate the abundance in life, and carnelian can help with this.

Citrine, often referred to as the "Merchant's Stone," is associated with prosperity and abundance. Its bright yellow hue reflects the warmth of the sun and the richness of the harvest. As we celebrate Mabon, Citrine can help us focus on gratitude for what we have and the potential for future abundance.

Oils I have chosen for our Mabon Candle: 

Orange, Cinnamon, Clove, Green Pear and Vanilla
