About Mabon

In many mythologies, this is the day the Sun God, the God of Light is killed by his rival and dark twin the God of Darkness -- who was born at Midsummer, reached puberty at Lammas, and lives a mirror-image life of the Sun God.

Once again, day and night are equal, but from this mid-autumn day forward, darkness will be greater than light as night becomes longer than day. The God prepares to leave his physical body beginning the great adventure into the unseen toward renewal and rebirth of the Goddess. At this time, nature and the earth decline, drawing back their bounty readying for winter and its time of rest. The Goddess acknowledges the weakening Sun now although a fire burns within her womb. She feels the presence of the God even as he wanes.

The colorful Pagan symbolism is quite interesting at this time in that it can be felt through the emerging colors of autumn. The Autumn Equinox marks the completion of the traditional harvests began at Lughnasadh for this is the final grain harvest of John Barleycorn.
