Mabon is one of the lesser-known but deeply meaningful festivals on the Wheel of the Year. Falling on the Autumn Equinox—when day and night are equal in length—Mabon is a time of balance, gratitude, and preparation for the coming darker half of the year.

Combine it with winter’s stillness, the magic of astrology, and some herbal helpers, and you’ve got a recipe for real growth.
