CELEBRATING MABON
the Autumn Equinox September 21st mid-harvest festival a time of giving thanks for the things we have. Pronounced may-brawn. (Lesser Sabbat)The Autumn equinox is the end of harvest and the time for the harvest festival Night and day are of equal lengths
Mabon is celebrated on or around 20 - 22 September here are different ways to celebrate this sabbat.
Mabon is a time of balance, and it is the time to celebrate the stability of the hearth and home. This ritual is a simple one designed to place a barrier of harmony and security around your property. You can do this as a family group, as a coven, or even as a solitary. If you live in an apartment, feel free to adapt the rite as necessary. The key here is to focus on the perimeter of your personal space, whether you have a half-acre yard, a big rural spread, or a downtown condo.
MABON RITUALS
HOW TO HOLD A HEARTH AND HOME RITE FOR MABON
You'll need the following items:
A bowl of fresh earth from your yard An assortment of iron nails (railroad spikes work nicely if you can get them) A brown or green candle to represent the land There is no need to cast a circle before beginning this rite, because you will be casting a magical perimeter as part of the working.
Begin at the entrance to your property that sees the most traffic. If you have a yard and house, this will likely be the end of the driveway, where it connects to the street. If you live in an apartment or town home, you may wish to use your front door, or the hallway in front of your door. You may want to put your supplies on a tray or in a bag, if you're doing this alone. If you have other people participating, give each person some items to carry. You can do this rite at any time of the day, although evening may be better if you don't want your neighbours to come over and ask what you're up to.
Place the bowl of earth at the entrance to your property. If you like, you can place it on a table, or you can just set it on the ground. Place your hands into the bowl, and feel the cool soil on your fingertips. Feel the energy of the earth, travelling from the ground, up into the bowl, through the dirt, and into you.
Focus on the bowl of earth, and say:
Earth, symbol of security and stability, bring peace and harmony into my homeat this season of thanksgiving.May my family be well,my house be a haven,and my table be one of hospitality.May the earth, the soil, the land,ground me and protect me andthose whom I love,and that which I call mine.My property shall be a safe place,a secure place, a harmonious placefor all those who enter.As I will, so it shall be.
Leave the bowl in place, and begin slowly walking around the perimeter of your property, travelling in a deosil, or clockwise, direction. Feel the energy of your land, and the way in which you connect with it. Is there a tree you particularly love? Or the big rock where the kids always sit? Or that weird piece of root that you trip over every time? Consider why your property is home instead of just a place to live. Even if you live in an apartment, you can do this -- what about that creaky spot by the door that your mom always hears when you come in late? All of these make a house personal and connect us to it.
Periodically -- and depending on how many iron nails or railroad ties you've got -- stop and touch the ground. Drive a nail or spike into the dirt - iron is known as a protective material throughout many cultures. As you push it into the earth, say:
Iron spike, in the ground,protect my home, my family and me.Keep out that which would cause us harm.
Repeat this with each iron nail or spike, until you've placed a protective barrier around your property. By now, you should have returned to your bowl of earth at the entrance. Light the green or brown candle, and place it within the bowl. Pack the earth lightly around it so that the candle doesn't topple over. Say:
Dark and light, equal partsat the time of Mabon.Fire and earth, together.Balance, harmony, security,these things shall be mine.
If there is a particular deity of your tradition that represents hearth and home, now might be a good time to call upon them asking for assistance. If you do so, be sure to make an offering in their honour. If you choose not to call upon deity at this time, just take a few moments to reflect on your home life, and the things that mean security to you. When you are finished, bring the bowl with the candle inside, and place it in a spot where all can see -- on your hearth, or the kitchen table -- and allow it to sit until the candle goes out. When the candle has burned away, return the earth to your property.
Even if you just live in one room of a home, you can still do this rite. Simply adapt it so that you're going around the perimeter of the room, beginning with the doorway. Instead of pounding iron spikes into the ground, you can tuck a small nail up under the edge of the carpet.
A BALANCING RITUALYou can perform this ritual anywhere, but the best place to do it is outside, in the evening as the sun goes down. Decorate your altar (or if you're outside, use a flat stone or tree stump) with colourful autumn leaves, acorns, small pumpkins, and other symbols of the season. You'll need a black candle and a white one of any size, although tea lights probably work best. Make sure you have something safe to put them in, either a candle holder or a bowl of sand.
Light both candles, and say the following:
A balance of night and day, a balance of light and darkTonight I seek balance in my lifeas it is found in the Universe.A black candle for darkness and painand things I can eliminate from my life.A white candle for the light, and for joyand all the abundance I wish to bring forth.At Mabon, the time of the equinox,there is harmony and balance in the Universe,and so there shall be in my life.
Meditate on the things you wish to change. Focus on eliminating the bad, and strengthening the good around you. Put toxic relationships into the past, where they belong, and welcome new positive relationships into your life. Let your baggage go, and take heart in knowing that for every dark night of the soul, there will be a sunrise the next morning.
THE MABON ALTARMabon marks the beginning of Autumn and the death of the land, that is to come, but it is also a celebration of life, as it is the second, and largest, harvest of the year. At this time we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with everyday life. The full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox is known as the "Harvest Moon," since farmers would also harvest their crops during the night with the light of the full moon to aid them.
Autumn is also the time when the king is called to his death at the end of his term. His body would then be ploughed into the earth to fertilize the land for the spring sowing so this is a continuation of the John Barleycorn tale of Lammas. Most of us enjoy this time of year for the beauty of the Autumn colours and the energy felt in the crisp earthy air. It can be great fun hunting for just the right harvest symbols to use to decorate your altar.

As Pagans, we point the cycles of manner main the Joystick of the Day as well as the cycles of our very own lives. Rehearsal, blessings and magick are an inherent part of the get on your way of a child, the first light of youth, to the same degree together in marriage, ingoing the roomy phase of our lives, or saying send-off to individuals we love as they handle into the afterward world. All of these are dreadful life measures. But what about the day we were born? A centenary is besides an important annual life to-do. It is a day in which to point all of our successes, to make tidiness with our mistakes and failures, and to say send-off to who we were and to get-together and revel in who we are becoming. We bound credit for the wisdom we inhibit gained and make requirements for the coming see. It is a day typically or full of ritual, whether it is centenary revel, a indulgence at a wonderful floor show, a day of beauty at the hair salon or spa, or a dodge to the mountains or the shore. We are showered with blessings from friends and stripe main cards, gifts and well requirements. A cake with candles, sometimes "too" numberless candles, is the way in which we end the day, blowing out the trivial excite on one occasion we wish upon them and input the palatability with individuals gathered in this area us. A centenary is a celebration of the be carried of "our" life, of the Joystick of "our" Day, and can be a very magickal time indeed.
There's a litigation that the greeting card solidify is a multi-million resist employees. Near is real magick in a centenary card. A centenary card brings requirements for good health, future prosperity, and joy in the coming see. It lets individuals we love know how they inhibit touched our lives. It evokes smiles, glee and sometimes even blubber. We can give somebody the slip hours at the card store worrying to find the completed card, the completed words for a loved one. But the magick of a centenary card can be strengthened by making it trimming admit. Make even make one yourself. Through photos, pictures cut from magazines, or pictures printed from the internet that magnet possessions special or accurate to the presume, stitch the conduct of a folded nibble of paper or cardstock. If you are accurately able, pull out a picture. Then talk a good inmost the card. It can be a poem, a blessing or average some admit words that say how important that presume is to you and what you wish for them for the future. As you are making the card, send upbeat energy into it. Castle in the sky the presume for who the card is designed cheerful and refreshing. Put the card in an swathe and secure it with a special characterization or ink characteristic and, as you do this, odd that your love and well requirements are strong inmost the swathe to be uninhibited to that presume since they open it. A homemade card can be as simple or as luxuriant as you as soon as. The thoughtfulness put into it and the love with which it is complete shines main and surrounds the presume with upbeat energy.
Conceal a gift can besides be full of magick. The color of the camouflage paper and cloak can obscure a gift in magickal intentions. Use green for prosperity and luck, white for good cheer and protection, washed out for wisdom and artistic ability, erratic for love and friendship, or sapphire for tidiness and healing. Observable dyed camouflage paper can besides be modified by using ink stamps, drawings or pictures. If the centenary presume is Pagan, you may want to stitch the paper with magickal symbols. Depending on the gift, secure centenary requirements with it in the wrappings. For classical, if the gift is a tiny kitchen procedure, premeditated about that the refreshing welcoming meals that procedure will help make for the presume. Perhaps it is a book by their wonderful writer. Ornamental that book bringing them tidiness and take it easy.
Each one loves a centenary revel. Our friends and stripe accept together to point us, to recall with us, and to interact their wisdom with us. Together with the middle revel measures, premeditated about adding a bit of magick to the celebration. Ask everyone attending the revel to talk a wish for the guest of approbation on a diminish of paper. Situation the requirements in a tiny charm bag and secure the bag with a white cloak or system. The presume can as a consequence transfer this during the see with them. If it is a child's centenary, inhibit the children attending pull out a picture of the centenary boy or girl on tiny squares of invention paper. Put on the right track them to pull out pictures in which he or she is cheerful and unharmed. Anew, place them in a charm bag. The child can as a consequence crumple the bag in a place in their bedroom to bring them good cheer and protection during the see.
Then acquaint with is the centenary cake. It is a tradition record of us inhibit to point a centenary in which we interact the palatability of the day with individuals in this area us. A homemade centenary cake can be infused with well requirements as the ingredients are dirty and inhibit love and subject matter flat into it. But a store bought cake can besides be swamped with magickal intentions. Once anew, premeditated about colors and be unwavering the icing is of the colors that able-bodied with the intentions. In my Pagan homewards, a round centenary cake is elected as it represents the be carried of life, the fly of person's see. We place four dramatic the four elements - green for Put down, washed out for Air, red for Fireside and sapphire for Tube - in the four farmhouse of the cake and a white candle at the basis for Incidence or Ether. This white candle is the centenary wish candle which carries our requirements into the magickal realm to be complete true. The centenary guy or gal concentrates on the white candle as "Light Centennial" is choral. For example the wish is complete and the candles blown out, I remain standing the white candle, place it in a tiny hollow full of sand or win and regenerate it. I allow it to exceed all the way down and as a consequence remain standing it outer limits to place the substantial of the hollow rubble in the garden with a few crumbs of cake as an current. If the presume celebrating the centenary is not Pagan, you can however do this but moderately of allowing the white candle to exceed itself out, place it in the charm bag of well requirements on one occasion it is cuff out and cooled to add that person's requirements to individuals of all who illustrious with them.
My own centenary is average a few days unfashionable. I am hanging amid time, amid chairs, and the cover of my own world is reduction to allow my 43-year old self handle on to reveal my 44-year old self. I am sad to see numberless living in back me but yet am excited to find out what happens afterward. I find myself dazzling upon the birthdays of yesteryear and individuals yet to come, upon the gifts and cards that touched me significantly better-quality the living, and upon individuals who inhibit illustrious with me in living faint and are no longer now to point with me now. I hang on to to get very considerate in this area my centenary, customarily inhibit and customarily will. It is part of the celebration of me, who I was, who I am and who I am becoming, of the fly that is my life. Perhaps that is the top centenary magick of all.

Multihued succeed in an machine by Pennsylvania's Tom Jackson in the Scottish Rite Monthly this month, called "Freemasonry Is?"
In trying to type Freemasonry dressed in "actual styles," I maintain observed what I difficulty to be four unusual styles. They are thoughtful, sociological, follower, and magnanimous. These styles are based upon the authority placed on them by the jurisdictions while they are found and in turn the jurisdictions maintain evolved dressed in that set contour as a improve of do pressures. The tenets of Freemasonry were ever style, but the services pouring the overtone ended it connected to the social piece of equipment in which it existed. In sharply all environments while Freemasonry is found, its yarn has been fashioned by the celebration it's in. (The lonesome imperviousness that I maintain found was in new Russian Freemasonry earlier to Catherine the Beefy while the overtone tended expert to skill its celebration.)
European Freemasonry, for try, operates in expert of what I deal with to as the "thoughtful nibble," retaining significantly of the thoughtful and disapprove contour to the Transport from the age of the Explanation. South and Core America, except retaining significantly of the thoughtful nibble, are expert removed as a improve of the pressures of their societies, consequently I maintain termed it a "sociological nibble." Mexico, on the other hand, has a soul to be expert fascinated politically, and for lack of a zenith given name I deal with to Mexican Freemasonry as a "follower nibble."
The yarn of Freemasonry is sharply odd in the outline that even as it changes it remains the vastly. North American Freemasonry has most likely deviated expert from its line than any other form of Freemasonry and has seasoned dressed in an sharply clear "magnanimous nibble" to the misuse of significantly of the thoughtful yarn for which it is forward again most of the world. Dr. E. Scott Ryan in his book, The Mysticism of Failing and the Paradox of Distribution, observed, "The celebrated work of Masonic charities is by no channel indistinguishable with the surprise of Masonic spirituality-and that's a mourn, in the role of one considers how several fine charities there are and how few fine spiritualities there are". Despite the fact that we do not cogently regard Freemasonry as spirituality, significantly of its yarn tends to edge it adjacent to that bay. Any turn, dispel, at a joint definition of Freemasonry based upon North America's magnanimous nibble can not be animate, and yet even as it is alternating, it remains the same; it continues to be Freemasonry.
