The Autumn Equinox 2025—also known as Mabon on the Wheel of the Year—is a sacred turning point. On this day, light and dark are in perfect balance, reminding us of the importance of harmony within ourselves and with the Earth. For witches, spiritual seekers, and those who honor the cycles of nature, the Equinox is more than an astronomical event—it’s a time of ritual, gratitude, and calling in abundance.

What is Mabon?

Mabon is often called the Pagan harvest festival or the “Witches’ Thanksgiving.” It marks the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice and celebrates abundance, gratitude, and balance. Traditionally, this was the time communities gathered the final harvests before winter, offering thanks for the Earth’s bounty.

Today, many celebrate Mabon through witchcraft and seasonal rituals that honor nature’s cycles, give thanks for blessings, and prepare spiritually for the darker months ahead.
