Harvest Reflection: Balance and Preparation
The celebration of Thanksgiving was originally timed with harvest cycles, emphasizing the necessity of utilizing resources before winter. Mabon, a modern holiday often misattributed to ancient Celtic traditions, serves as a period to assess resources, establish plans, and ensure sustenance for the winter months. It highlights the importance of taking stock of one's situation and making adjustments as needed. Rituals during Mabon often include apple picking and setting altars with seasonal symbols to express gratitude for the harvest and to seek balance in life. Overall, it is a time for reflection and preparation rather than obscure theoretical practices.
