Mabon:<br />

Mabon: Wiccan holy day. One of eight Wiccan Sabbats. Many Wiccans and Neo-pagans<br />

celebrate Mabon on September 21st, although traditionally it is celebrated on the autumn<br />

equinox (usually September 23rd in the northern hemisphere; sometimes on September 22nd, such as in<br />

2008 and 2009). Also called Harvest Home, Feast of the Ingathering, Thanksgiving, or Autumn<br />

Equinox.<br />

The name of this holy day may possibly come from the Welsh Mabon ap Modron, the divine son of<br />

the divine mother. He is the same as the British god Maponos. Roman soldiers garrisoned at Hadrian’s<br />

Wall worshipped Apollo Maponos. The Anglo-Saxons called September the “Haleg-monath” (or “holy<br />

month”). Neo-Druidicals call this day Alban Elfed, a term created by Iolo Morganwg.<br />

Wiccans and Neo-pagans hold a feast and/or ritual of thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth and share<br />

their harvest to obtain the blessings of the deities (gods and Goddesses) through the winter months.<br />

Mabon is the middle of three harvest festivals, the Wiccan Sabbats of Lammas (early harvest), Mabon<br />

(middle harvest), and Samhain (late harvest).<br />
