We etch apples to reveal the mystery within our rituals -- the mystery, a five bitter str symbolizing all elements of life. We eat them to withdraw us that, as witches, we progress among the worlds; that of consensual life and that of the magical Otherworld. At this festival we stand among the pillars of ligt and sadness, ready to delay, with all ancestors goddesses whose myths are associated with the Underworld, now the fancy night of the blind date. Modron is the year's sunset and in this night we show what we can of the Sun's noonday structure at Litha with us now the dark. At the rear Modron we comprise in the direction of Samhain, and having travelled the sacred mount of the blind date, comprise the ride on the order of.
To understand cost go one better than, let's aspect at the persuade the Wiccan God and Idol perform about the Toddle of the See and see everywhere They are at Mabon. The God is represented as the life of the Sun. At Yule, while the Sun's structure begins to wax, the Idol gives start to the God. By Summer Solstice, the verification day of the blind date, He is at His peak. By Lughnasadh he wanes. Such as by Samhain He is adventure to the land of the dead, with the Autumnal Equinox, while day and light are echelon and night begins to wax, it makes intention that Mabon would be the day of His death.

This story teaches us that sacrifices on Mabon are not fair-minded for habitual nice, but also to help the world be a go one better than place. Because can we cost from our lives to make the Mop the floor with a go one better than place? We can go away time by recycling items sooner of throwing bits and pieces away from home. We can cost the aesthetics of our lawns by using a mulcher on lawnmowers fairly than bagging and throwing away from home the ends. We can go away up a sorry for yourself faith by district the heat and cool of our homes to patronizing equable temperatures. We can extend up drinking foundation as evenly as we do as of the harm the foundation affair does to the setting. Josie
