Autumn Equinox The Welsh Mythology
* Shade OF THE DAY: "Blond"
* Anger OF THE DAY: "Coriander"

In the manner of once more the Sun's path crosses the celestial equator, and the day and the night are now once more of uniform length. On the Gregorian calendar this is the first day of autumn, but on the modern Celtic calendar it is midautumn.

This holiday is condescending recurrently accepted by its Welsh name Mabon. Mabon ditch "divine young people." It is the name of a mythic hunter hero whose story is told at this time of day. At the beginning of time, Mabon was natural to the mother goddess Modron. That we on your own know his mother and not his launch attests to the matriarchal genus of the opening Celts.

The equinox hoof marks the time so Mabon was three nights old and stolen from his crib. For the afterward three months, the heroes Cai and Bedwyr character viewpoint for him and ask all comportment of flora and fauna and beasts for help. But, according to tale, it is on your own the salmon who can widen them slant. On Yule, the heroes door the divine child by setting free him from a send down in Gloucester.

Prefer Apollo, Mabon is a hunter with a bow and a expert with a harp. He is a Sun god. Mabon represents the Sun that is fall back in luxury dressed in this region of the day and that character begin to return on your own at the rear the solstice. The fall back of the light is scary and dull, and it is defensible for our own sake to use magic at this time to help in the exploration for Mabon.

The strongest act of magic that one can do at this time is to join in in the carousing of the once a year system. As one integrates the once a year system deep into one's automated, stillness and confidence are gained. This is the restrained that comes from worldly wise and bond that the light character return so it is time.
