For today’s post, I have decided to share a poem I have written about today’s holiday! I adore the Autumnal Equinox and the season as a whole, so this poem is a tribute to that.
Mabon
by Maranda Wabik
Summer turning to Fall
As the second
HARVEST
Reaps what
Has been
SOWN
Crisp air
Mirrors crisp leaves
Colors of
Autumn blast out
The greenery
Becomes tinged
By fire
Apples and pumpkins
Ripen to perfection
Cozy sweaters
And fresh clean air
Make this time
Truly magical
It is the
Season of the Witch!
Note: Did you know that another name Pagans sometimes refer to Mabon as is The Feast of Avalon? That makes Mabon a holiday certainly linked to this blog, as much so as Samhain and Beltane (as Guinevere is so linked to May Day)!
~I hope you have enjoyed this poem. Have a very Happy and Blessed Mabon. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
I don’t know whether Spring or Fall is the best time of year for me, but I love them both. Did not know about the Feast of Avalon. Do you have a post for it?

I don’t have a post for that specifically, but I’ve definitely seen it called that. It’s mentioned in Llewellyn’s Sabbat Essentials Mabon for instance. I love Autumn best but Spring is a close second, I view both as Seasons of the Witch being that they are Tween Times.

Cool beans. I see what you mean. Both are very spiritual times of year. I find both summer and winter to be desolate in different ways – outside the greening that is.
