Rituals should not feel like an onerous duty. To Pagans, they are acts of celebration and acknowledgment

Pagans are often crafty people, as easily enticed by the promises shining in a bead store as they might be in any occult bookshop. As a result, often enough, art is magick and magick is art. Much of this universal weaving begins while crafting. The autumn season especially speaks to a magickal crafter’s heart, so many supplies literally grow on trees and fall to the ground at this time!

A routine food blessing might be “From whence ye came ye shall return; I thank you for what you are giving me.” On other occasions, the right prayer for these occasions is “Good food, good meat, good gods, let’s eat!”

Spread
You’ve heard the adage “as you sow, now shall you reap.”

You may wish to say something as you do this, linking it to the equinox: “Take the troubled with the dark, move them to where light can heal them.

Eclectic Witchcraft
Eclectic witches are Neopagans who draw from multiple traditions and backgrounds to create their own practices. If Mabon as the Autumn Equinox speaks to them, they will practice it, often using rituals they have designed based on their own spiritual experience and association with the harvest season.

Nature is all around us; no matter how hard we humans try to insulate ourselves from nature’s cycles, these recurring seasonal changes are inescapable

By honoring the Wheel of the Year, we reaffirm our connection to nature so that as her endless cycles turn, we’re able to go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
