Embrace Hygge With Mabon 🍂

Welcome to our deep dive into Mabon, the autumn equinox! 🌾🍂 Discover the rich history and vibrant celebrations of this ancient Celtic festival, marking the balance between day and night before winter’s embrace. Named after the Welsh god Mabon ap Modron, this festival honors the second harvest and the earth’s bounty. Imagine the ancient Celts around bonfires, sharing stories, and giving thanks for their harvest. 🍎🍞

The Legend of Mabon ap Modron: Stolen from his mother at three nights old, Mabon’s rescue by King Arthur symbolizes the journey from darkness to light, mirroring the seasonal shift from summer’s abundance to autumn’s introspection. 🌗✨
