Rituals, Recipes and Lore for the Autumn Equinox

Mabon

I absolutely LOVED this book. The only other one I’ve read from this series is Beltane, and I felt as though this one went further into depth than that one did. The autumn-equinox has always been one of my favorite times of year, that I’ve felt connected to ever since I was a small child. It was really interesting to read about the symbolism and significance behind the holiday, as well as some ideas to celebrate it as Mabon. I loved that it included so much history and other holidays that share the same themes. I loved the recipes, especially for the ritual bath and mabon oils. There was also a really nice invocation to Demeter that I loved reading, and tons and tons of correspondences with the holiday at the end of the book. 

It probably is more of an introduction as it covers a lot of things in a short book, but it contained more information on Mabon than I’ve read in any other book so far, so if you’re looking to learn more about this particular sabbat I would DEFINITELY recommend it!
