Mabon Altar Ideas & Correspondences

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, marks the midpoint between the summer and winter solstices. It's a time to celebrate the abundance of the harvest season and express gratitude for the blessings of the year. One way to honor this occasion is by setting up a Mabon altar, adorned with items and symbols that resonate with the energy of the season. Here are a few ideas for when you’re putting your altar together.

The Altar Cloth: Choose an altar cloth in rich autumnal colors such as deep red, orange, or brown. These colors represent the changing leaves and the bountiful harvest.

Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate apples, pumpkins, squash, and corn, or any local harvests you have in your area. These are traditional symbols of the harvest and abundance during Mabon.

Candles: Use candles in colors associated with Mabon, such as gold, yellow, orange, or deep red. These represent the changing colors of the land. Alternatively, you could use black and white candles to represent the balance of dark and light on the equinox.

Crystals: Consider placing crystals like citrine, amethyst, or jasper on your altar. These stones resonate with the energies of balance, gratitude, and abundance.

Symbols of Balance: Include items that represent the balance of day and night, such as a yin-yang symbol or two candles, one for the sun and one for the moon.

Leaves and Acorns: Collect fallen leaves and acorns to symbolize the changing season and the promise of new growth in the future.

Chalice and Bread: A chalice filled with wine or cider and a loaf of bread represent the traditional elements of water and earth, symbolizing the harvest's bounty.

Deity Representations: If you work with specific deities in your practice, add representations of them to your altar. Some gods and goddesses associated with Mabon include Demeter, Persephone, and the Green Man.

Mabon Correspondences

Colors: Deep red, orange, yellow, brown, and gold.

Herbs: Sage, marigold, hops, and thistle.

Foods: Apples, grapes, nuts, grains, and root vegetables.

Symbols: Scales, cornucopias, and the autumn wreath.

Activities: Apple picking, making wreaths, offering prayers of gratitude, and sharing a feast with loved ones.

Intentions: Reflect on balance in your life, give thanks for your blessings, and set intentions for the darker months ahead.

May you be blessed with abundance and gratitude.

You know it’s just about equinox when the rising sun shines through my neighbors’ porches onto mine. (Mine isn’t seen here.)

What's that at the end of the road? The Sun. Many towns have roads that run east-west, and on two days each year, the Sun rises and sets right down the middle. Yesterday, in some parts of the world (today in others), is one of those days: an equinox. Not only is this a day of equal night and day time, but also a day when the sun rises precisely to the east and sets due west. Displayed here is a picturesque rural road in Alberta, Canada that runs approximately east-west. The featured image was taken during the September Equinox of 2021, but the geometry remains the same every year. In many cultures, this March equinox is taken to be the first day of a season, typically spring in Earth's northern hemisphere, and autumn in the south.

Sketch/color study of a little autumnal equinox themed piece because I desperately need to try and break this art block.

Don’t know where it’s headed and that’s ok. Most of my favorite colors, trees, and pallanophs, so how wrong can it go?

Caran d’ache colored pencils in the sketchbook.

#pallanophs #creature design #fantasy #personal art #colored pencils #sketchbook #autumn #autumnal equinox #golden rusty colors my beloved #some of the worst blocks I’ve had in my life? #lots of different factors involved and I’m directly responsible for half of them #might never return to where I was with art but I will have to accept it #it’s been months since color so yeah

Candles in the darkness. The smell of cinnamon rolls. Soft, warm blankets. The way the golden wheat fields undulate in the wind. Rain clouds sweeping across the countryside. Crimson leaves dancing in the breeze. Bluejay calls in the forest. Sunlight through golden leaves. Tightly knit cardigans on your skin. The taste of meat, carrots, and potatoes. Warm cider, the spices tingling your tongue. Distant roll of thunder on a Sunday afternoon, petrichor on the air suddenly. Crunching of leaves underfoot. Sticky caramel enveloping juicy apples. The warmth of a bonfire on a chilly evening. The sliminess of pumpkin innards. Crisp autumn morning air. The cascade of colors in the forests, the valleys, the fields. Leaf piles. S'mores. Hot chocolate. Soup. Whipped cream on pumpkin pie. Warm baked apples and golden crust. Soft flannel. Sturdy boots. Brown leather and suede. Maple syrup on fluffy waffles. The numbness if your fingers as you sit outside, enjoying a chilly autumn day...almost too much to bear, but it's so gorgeous outside you'll endure anything to take in its beauty. Watching Halloween movies. Eating warm comfort foods with loved ones. The smell of woodsmoke on a crisp afternoon. Leaves floating down a crystal clear stream. Butter on sweet potatoes and squash.

Warm foods. Cozy blankets and sweaters. Breezy golden mornings, drizzly afternoons, and crisp clear evenings. That's what autumn means to me.
