Mabon is a harvest festival celebrated by many neopagans, particularly those following the Wiccan tradition. It occurs around the autumn equinox, typically on September 21 or 22, marking the balance between day and night. This festival honors the second harvest and is a time for giving thanks for the abundance of the earth.
During Mabon, people often engage in activities such as feasting, reflecting on the changing seasons, and preparing for the winter months ahead. Common symbols include cornucopias, apples, and grains, representing the bounty of the harvest. It is also a time for introspection and gratitude for the year's blessings.
