Happy Mabon, the equinox of fall (in the northern hemisphere)

 

The wheel of the year in pagan/old agricultural calendars shows an equinox as the arm to left of center, where a moon/sun are indicated...before the next cross quarter celebration of Halloween/Samhain.

An old post (2016) gives this greeting...


This year the equinox happens on Saturday, September 23, 2023, at 02:50 A.M. EDT!

It isn't something to get up in the wee hours for...no fanfare of astronomical delights. But rather, fall equinox is a time of balance, turning from all the bustle of summer to the earlier nightfall, this is a time of becoming quieter.

May your fall equinox, Mabon, be a time to celebrate the changing seasons, of our lives constantly changing...perhaps following a spiral path rather than a straight path in our own chosen direction.
