Mabon is one of the eight witch holidays celebrated on the Wheel of the Year. It is also known as the Pagan Thanksgiving. In the northern hemisphere, Mabon is celebrated on the Autumn Equinox, when the day and night are equal. It marks a time of balance, equality, harmony, and gratitude. According to Neo-Pagans, Mabon is said to be a time when the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world starts to thin leading up to Hallow’s Eve (also known as Samhain)
In 2022, Mabon, also known as the Fall Equinox happens on September the 22nd.
Since the days of antiquity, humans across the globe have had various names and celebrations marking the harvest season. According to the Boston Public Library, Neo-Celtic pagans borrowed the name Mabon from a Welsh God in the 1970s. Researchers at the library say that Mabon as a holiday was not originally a Celtic celebration. Regardless, celebrating the change of seasons and harvest time is an ancient human tradition.
