Mabon The wheel turns once again. It is Mabon, the Autumn Equinox and we stand in reflection of our fruitfulness this past year. What do we have to be grateful for? As the earth moves into perfect balance with the sun and the dark shadows light, we ask our Lord who prepares to leave the yellowing wood and spiral into the caves of Samhain and our Lady who’s love is timeless tho’ she prepares for the sleep of winter to let us embrace this night with our understanding of beauty, grace and love. Allow these qualities of Libra’s equilibrium to infuse each one of us so that we may find our way as we move quietly inward, toward the twilight of Autumn’s song. Mabon Circle Casting I cast this circle once In the name of Pan and Artemis Of the wild and the wood May they join our hands in our temple dance! I cast this circle twice In the name of Hades and Persephone Take us to our shadows So that they may be released! I cast this circle thrice In the name of Mabon Let there be thanksgiving In your honor alone here this night! Bless and protect our circle! ~Igraine The Full Moon takes place Monday at 5:13 AM EST September 15th @ 23 degrees of Pisces The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is: "A materializing medium giving a seance" What is it that YOU want to materialize?

Nimue's Atrium It is the Autumnal Equinox or Mabon on the Celtic calendar, a point of equilibrium. The day and night have met in balance but now the dark grows and the light of day shortens. This is the final harvest. In Celtic myth, Mabon is the son (Sun) and Modron is the mother (Earth mother). At this time Modron laments the loss of her son Mabon, taken soon after he was born. He has actually gone into her magical womb to be reborn as her champion-The Son of Light. Here is a 7 card Tarot Spread for Mabon There is no specific layout for this spread. 1. TURNING AXIS: Equilibrium attained. 2. RUSSET LEAF: How to greet the change. 3. FINAL SHEAF: What I have learned from the light 4. MODRON'S TEARS: What I have yet to learn from the dark. 5.

Mercury turns Retrograde on September 24th Spell for a Safe Journey When Mercury turns retrograde travels plans will often be changed or delayed. Smooth sailing is not to be expected. Petty aggravations may be the worst of it but be prepared to take a deep breath and go with the flow. If you are going on a short trip or a long journey, it is especially important at this time to protect yourself as everything goes awry. The magic of this simple rune spell will guide you safely to your destination. Create a runic talisman by cutting a circle out of red felt or construction paper. Draw a six pointed star or hexefus. This is an occult symbol of power, also known as a “Witch’s foot”. On the other side draw a capital R, the symbol for Rad. This is the rune of travelers, both in the astral and mundane worlds. Before you leave on your journey, tuck your talisman in a pocket and say: “Hexefus protect me By this rune direct me As I roam ‘ore land and sea Trusting you’ll deliver me Safely to my destiny. So mote it be!” ~Igraine Witches Spell-A-Day Almanac 2008 |
