Celebrating Mabon

Farewell, O Sun; ever-returning Light, The Hidden God, who ever yet remains.
He now departs to the Land of Youth, through the Gates of Death,
to dwell enthroned, as the Horned Leader of the Hosts of Air!
Yet, as He stands unseen without the Circle, so dweleth He within the Secret Seed;
-the Seed of New-reaped grain, the Seed of Flesh;
Hidden in Earth, the marvelous Seed of Stars.
In Him is Life, and Life is the Light of Man. That which was Never Born, Never Dies.
Therefore, the Wise Ones weep not, but Rejoice.

The Wheel turns once again and we approach the Autumnal Equinox, or what many of us call "Mabon". The Equinox occurs this year on Saturday, September 22nd. I'll share with you some thoughts about what, first, the Equinox means to us and how it effects us psychically, and especially the Autumn Equinox and how we prepare to move into the dark half of the year.

Later in the show I present a ritual appropriate for this time of year, which is called "Shedding Skin".

I hope you enjoy this week's show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this week's show include;Laura Powers: "A Heart in Winter"; Sacred Earth Drums: "Sunset Ceremony"; Wendy Rule: "Falling Behind Me"; Sharon Knight: "Double-Edged Sword"; Todd Alan & Friends: "Lord of the Dance"; Maddy Prior: "Marigold/Harvest Home" and more.
