Mabon Meditation
Color of the day: Amber Incense of the day: Cedar Incense of the day: Cedar The Autumnal Equinox is a time of balance between light and dark, and many Pagans utilize this powerful turning point by doing magical work for balancing the energies in their life. The modern Neopagan name for this holiday is "Mabon." It is a bit mysterious why early twentieth-century occultists chose this name for the holiday, as this is a Middle Welsh word which means "Divine Son." Mabon is a somewhat shadowy figure who is mentioned only briefly in several medieval Welsh myths. However, his name may reflect an earlier British god, Maponus, who was widely worshipped in Britain and Gaul. One of his attributes was hunting, and in a later Welsh tale, Mabon assisted with the sacred boar hunt that takes place before Samhain. Meditate on the "Divine Son" and his ancient role in the ritual hunts that took place in autumn. |
