Mabon Ritual for Ultimate Balance

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, is a time for coming to terms with life and realizing that everything balances out! There is always something positive that comes from the negative! Our brains are naturally trained to pinpoint the harsh side of reality, when in fact, reality has multiple perspectives. You have the power to pick which side of a situation you fixate on! 

Just as Persephone splits her time between the Livingworld and the Underworld, you too can split your attention between negativity and positivity. This balance gives us control over our lives.

Mabon is celebrated on September 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and on March 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. There are many ways to celebrate this Pagan holiday, and this time, we chose to celebrate the balance that makes us human!

Place your other decor on the altar in a way that makes you feel happy.

3. Evoke:
   “This circle is bound | With power all around | Between the worlds I stand | With power and protection at hand. | I call upon the Bacchus on this Mabon night | To celebrate all ways my life has gone right! | I call upon Persephone | and evoke her power of duality. | I call upon Hades with all my might | To remember that with darkness comes light.”

   1. Empower your pomegranate as an elixir to help you connect with your Inner Self.
   2. Empower and light the brown candle to represent the annoying things in your life.
   3. Empower the red grapes and wine to represent the annoying things that you’re acknowledging, internalizing, and letting go of.

5. Meditate: Eat the pomegranate seeds. Say “Into my depths I take these seeds to visit with and see my own unseen.”
   Close your eyes, and ask to see the areas you need to grow in. Meditate on all of your experiences, issues, wins, and losses. Write them down when you come out of meditation.
