I founded a witchcraft club at my university. An equinox celebrations is going to be our first event of the semester. I'm so excited

@mbyrd9223 Год назад

This time of year I'm actually outside more than I am in the summer. I love cool crisp and cold weather and I hate hot muggy weather. Autumn is my favorite time of year and all the fall and winter sabbots are my favorite ones. This time of year is also when I go hiking the most and do all the major yard work that I put off all summer.

@butterflymuse2707 Год назад

Me too! I can't deal with the heat and humidity, so I'll do all the things I need to get done in the fall when it's cool

@@butterflymuse2707 i love cool and crisp weather too...if only we didn't have still 27⁰c in Madrid, spain...😭 Where is my fall weather damnit, i want to wear a cardigan.

@coral4826 Год назад

Same for me, but because I live in a place where it's insanely hot in the summer. It'll finally be a tolerable temperature again 🙏

@wompusslompus5424 Год назад

I like that you're cleansing with rosemary! Easily accessible, affordable, dries well, and you can even grow it yourself if you want if you're so inclined. (Rosemary grows like crazy, so you'll always have a bunch!)

@chloej1611 Год назад

Yup, and it's actually beneficial to regularly trim rosemary, so clipping a bit for your magickal practice is just part of taking care of the plant!

@orbitingpluto3213 3 месяца назад

I'm so jealous. I have tried growing rosemary outside (it never winters over in my area) and I always kill it as an indoor plant. I want to grow rosemary so bad.

@katharinebroughton Год назад

We live in a farming community with a big apple orchard so Mabon is the biggest festival for us. Everyone is out for pretty much all of September gathering apples and other crops. We have a huge feast and eat outside if the weather is nice and press fresh apple cider to drink before the rest is brewed. There is a corn maze and decorations all over and the children have a treasure hunt to find the hidden golden pumpkin. Autumn is the busiest time of the year for us so Mabon is a chance to rest and celebrate and dance and give thanks before we have to get back to preparing all the crops for winter. We actually have a well with an old statue of Modran on it

@SillyBestiesGaming 11 месяцев назад

I wish I lived in that kind of community, where I live is full of a huge amount of "holier than thou" Christians.

Hey Hearth, 👋 here in the US we call conkers "buckeyes". It's the state tree of Ohio. The Ohio State University has a man with a giant "conker" as a head for their mascot. His name is Brutus Buckeye. 🤣🤣🤣 Just a little trivia for you. Have a beautiful day everyone. 🤍🍂🍁🎃

I'm setting up my first altar for one of the sabbats, and I'm so happy Mabon is the one I'm starting with! I love autumn, from the weather to the colors. My candles are scentless LEDs for the safety of my cats, and for food I'm making caramel apples!

@dowhatyoulove3216 Год назад

I’m really enjoying the change in the season so far! I’ve ‘spring’ cleaned my house, re-made my alter, tried baking some new recipes, and have been going on lots of nature walks. So refreshing after all this heat we’ve had in the uk 😊🍄🧚🏻‍♀️🥰🙏🌰

@alanworley5275 Год назад

We will celebrate Mabon as our Sunday Service at our Unitarian Universalist Congregation, including an invitation to all attendees to pass through the portal from light to dark, if they chose.

@mag-narwhal Год назад

Mabon was the first holiday I celebrated so it became my favorite but it also became my saddest holiday. My guinea pigs had recently died and I celebrated in the broomcloset alone with them at their graves. Now even though I do. Celebrate samhain and Yule with my close family I still celebrate mabon with my passed pets.

@Ladylovesdogs Год назад

As that awkward middle child myself I have to say I absolutely LOVE your amazing earrings! I feel the power of the sun radiating from them as we approach the autumnal equinox and mabon. Thank you once again!

@chloej1611 Год назад

I agree that your practice changes, but the way it shifts and the timing of the shift depends on where you live. For example, here in California, it's finally cool enough to take walks in the middle of the day (instead of cramming it in the early morning). However, autumn also marks the start of the wildfire season, so once that fully kicks in, we'll be hunkering back down in our rooms to avoid the smoke and ash. And definitely no rain!

@justanotherotaku1 Год назад

I actually love Mabon! Celebrating autumn and the harvest and just being thankful. It's a very cosy Sabbat and I always look forward to it. I love Samhain too, but that's more spooky and reflective, whereas Mabon is joyous feasting and simply enjoying the new season ☺️

@chariscrane450 Год назад

Oh my goodness, you were a storm witch? That’s a thing??? I’m officially ecstatic now. I live in the Midwestern U.S., and so have an abundance of storms here! Loved the rest of this video too btw, but that particular part just screamed at me! 💕💕

@elliehello Год назад

I absolutely love Mabon, it was the first holiday I celebrated and along with Lammas, it's my favorite. I haven't celebrated it in a while (nor have I celebrated any other holidays since last year) but this gave me a refresher and some lovely ideas on what to do! Thank you!

@jennytimelord9689 Год назад

Thank you, Hearth! I just got married and we have a ton of animals and kids 🤣 it's pure chaos over here.... I'm always looking for simple ways to celebrate and still properly honor the sabbats! I hope your Equinox is everything you want it to be 💜

@spiritual-wisdom Год назад

I have set my alter up for maben I feel this time of year it's a great time marinating obstacles and letting go things that no longer serve us and a time of gratitude

@gemma9227 Год назад

This is my favourite time of year, I can always sense when it's on its way, I too saw my first conker of the season, it was on the floor so I took it home with a few other things that remind me of autumn and placed them on my altar

@laurenhepp4681 Год назад

I’d had a really hard morning and seeing your video pop up in my feed was a nice surprise. I watched it drinking a coffee and having one of my favourite little cakes. It helped me feel a little better. Thank you 🙏

@kaiduran528 Год назад

I used to not care much about Mabon, but it has become one of my favorites as I get older. I like both equinoxes so much because I really feel the changes at those times. Plus, I love to cook and garden so it's all about the harvest for me!

@stephanienicole9914 Год назад

I just dyed my hair bright orange, I’m so glad I got it in time for Mabon! This year my boyfriend and I have a wicker cornucopia and while we don’t feel comfortable using fresh fruits and veg for it, we have some fake ones! We’re planning on setting the cornucopia up on our dining room table! Any ideas on how to keep out cat from messing with it? Love your videos!

@katharinebroughton Год назад

If you have some lemon furniture polish or orange oil trying rubbing a bit near your cornucopia on the table. Cats usually don’t like the smell of citrus and will avoid the area. It is safe for them as long as you aren’t chucking buckets of it around.

@MarcoNegrisEye Год назад

Mabon will always be hugely important to me as it was the first sabbat following my proper and true discovery of paganism. I must admit though that in the last couple of years I have shamefully neglected it mainly due to illness but plan to honour this sabbat in some form this year. Samhain is without a doubt the be all and end all for me and a huge number of others too so I can see where people will dismiss Mabon in preparation or excitement of Samhain. It's a shame as it is a really beautiful and actually more melancholic time I feel.

@thefernking3582 Год назад

I love Mabon 🥹 it resonates with me so much because my birthday is inbertween Mabon and Samhain! It represents the start of the libra season ⚖️♎️⚔️

@meggincody Год назад

I'm Aussie, so Mabon for me is in March. It' also mine and a mates Birthday, so we end up having a a party for that. At this time of year, I'm out in the garden getting everything ready for the growing season and Ostara.

@halleywalker6520 Год назад

I just got a wicked cool candle holder and a green altar mat specifically for Mabon, its a sabbat very near to my heart as an herbalist and hearth based person, it was the first of the sabbats that I intentionally celebrated! I'm going to try to make a GreenMan face out of clay today so that it can go on the altar and do a deep clean of the house these next few days 😁 thanks for the video, always love your insights! 💕

@Bellllllz Год назад

I love that you take the time to do these seasonal videos. So very excited for season 2 of the podcast.

@Gina_Marie_ Год назад

I've never heard of storm magic before, and now I'm super intrigued.

@ceciliawest3339 Год назад

Thanks for your video. I love your reminder that every book is a good one 🖤 📚 I’ve got my altar set up, I’ve made an apple pie, I always do a divination on the day OF the sabbat, and then journaling always... my home has been decorated with pumpkins, fall leaves, and cinnamon and spices as well as candles and essential oils. It’s perfect for Mabon. One Mabon outing I like to do every year is attend the Apple Hill festival in my area. The apple farmers allow various crafters/vendors to come on their farm and sell their goods and wares. I always like to find some hand made Yule gifts there. 🍏 🍎 🍁

@LeahWalentosky Год назад

I work at a museum by the south shore of Lake Superior. Since we live in such a large forest I plan to collect pine cones. I also am getting cranberries and wild rice from the Objibawa tribe. A lot of the food you mentioned was brought by the Native people of North and South America: pumpkin, squash, chocolate

@rachdoesmagic Год назад

I think Mabon is one of my favourite times to celebrate ❤ I never had a seasonal altar because of cats and dogs being around the house but I think I just figured out a spot that’s safe for them and good for me! So I’ll give that a go ☺️ I’ll also try and go out and pick some sticks and straw and wheat and do a lil wreath - that’s ambitious for me as I end up not often following up on this ideas but I’ll try 😊😊 Thank you for the video 🧡

@gee111. Год назад

I read somewhere once that the first brown acorn you come across that had fallen in your path, pick it up and keep it and it'll bring you luck all season long 🍂🎃 and for the harvest festivals I like to just go to my local woodland with my dog and walk through the autumnal trees, autumn is my favourite season to go out for walks happy Mabon/autumn 🧡

@saffron1996 Год назад

i love your videos, even being seasoned it serves as a reminder to not forget about my spirituality, and inspirational tid bits that i might not have done before :) this year im baking a pumpkin loaf out of home grown pumpkins! 🧡 beautiful earrings btw ✨️

@annesvlogs4763 Год назад

I am going to watch the sunrise then go on a nature walk, then harvest some rosemary, then give back to nature by giving food to the animals in nature and the plants, then I'm going to make lunch and eat it, then I'm going to dance and sing, then I'm going to make my mabon feast and enjoy it while giving thanks for the bountiful harvest, then I'm going to do a mabon ritual as the sunsets and write down what I'm thankful for and burn it then I'm going to take a ritual bath and get ready for bed as I say goodbye to the summer sun and say hello to the darker season.

@souwen266 Год назад

Samhain is also my favorite Sabbat. That's why I named myself Souwen. (I'm nonbinary) I basically took the pronunciation of Samhain and wrote it in Dutch.

@souwen266 Год назад

Also, I'm from Belgium, that's why I spelled it in Dutch.

@gypsywolf2061 Год назад

I am working on my mabon altar. I already switched out the crystals and I’m collecting acorns, I’ll get some apples, and decorate with those. I have a major disease so I never know if I’ll be well that day but if I am, I’m going to harvest all the herbs I grew and dry them :) a simple walk in the evening would also be nice after a nice dinner.

@MsAabbo Год назад

Thank you for inspiring me to set up an altar for Mabon. This is truly one of my favorite times of the year, so I would love to show my gratitude to Mother Earth. I laughed when you mentioned Pumpkin Spice! I find that the older I have become, I don't care for the overly sweet taste, but I also have one or two a season just to kick off Autumn and all the cozy goodness that comes with it!

@raining-tulips Год назад

You look good in every video but you look so good in this one! Very inspired to do my makeup now, and as always, thanks for the great information 🥰

@fizzlestyxx8507 Год назад

This will be my first celebration. I have no idea what would be best to do. I got a bottle of wine from my dad. I thought I could leave libations for each of the trees in our yard, leave some apples and seeds for the birds and squirrels as a thank you to them. I was going to write down some gratitudes. I plan to go for a walk. I live in the city, but I thought I'd look for fallen leaves, pinecones with which to decorate. If I find some sticks I thought I'd make a small ritual broom for clearing away negativity. I spent all day today cleaning my room. Tomorrow I will clean my sister's room. I don't have anything to burn, but I put some orange essential oil in the water I was cleaning with. I hope that was a good choice. I'm completely new to this but I wish to learn more. Thank you for the video.

@Sconnie13 Год назад

Love that you expressed that practices change and flow like the seasons. I associate as an eclectic green witch I naturally ground when working in my garden and with my plants - indoor or outdoor, but I live in a region that gets very hot in the summer - so I will do more in the kitchen, thus I associate with a kitchen witch during this time as I'm cooking new recipes or working more with my herbalism - which can fall under either category. Blessed Be!

Thanks Hearth for yet another inspiring video! Autumn is my favourite time of the year and so Mabon and Samhain have a special place in my practice. Celebrating Mabon late this year as I was unfortunately ill last week. I usually focus on honouring the earth element with the themes of grounding, balance and gratitude. And definitely planning to shifting from salads and lighter veg to more hearty meals! ^^

@alabaster2163 Год назад

Getting all those last minute apple trees in and perennials for spring. Spreading seeds from all the heirlooms I have planted in spring. Hard work that makes you sweat is perfect for when the weather turns a bit cooler. All those tasks that can be a bit more challanging do a bit better with the help of the spirits ect... Pumpkin muffins with heavy spices are my go to for the fall... on the verge of winter I love bread baking. Oven is on most of the day warming the house ect throught out the day. Work with the amazing new gifts coming in. Working with elements rather than despite them or against them. Scorpio stellium so this is my favorite time of year. The culmination of all the hard work and lessons learned and cuddling up with contentment and beauty of death of old making the way for the new.

Mabon is the only time of year I get to go outside at all 😂 In Japan the summers are like 100°F+/38°C on some days (& there are also hornets the size of small birds 😅🤣) so I just hang out inside til autumn lol Been going outside a lot more recently and loving it 😍

@CandraJade84 Год назад

Hi. I loved your video. I've neglected Mabon always, too, but this year I want to celebrate it. I've had a few hard months and a celebration where calming down and do introspection is on the agenda is what I need right now. An aspect I miss a little in your video is thankfulness. For me that's an important part of a harvest festival. The past year has been one of loss and change for me. My mother died, I've ended a long time relationship and changed my job. On Mabon I want to focus on what I gained this year and what I have in my life that I'm thankful for. I'll set up a small altar, fumigate and do a little farewell ritual for my mother.

My Nana passed this morning. However it is interesting that Mabon is about harvest I think I need to make a kitchen Alter. I think Grandma (my great grandmother) told my Nana it is ok to let go, and they were always cooking. It does warm me up thinking of their food. Everything is also talking about the end of an Era or chapter and well Samhain is the new year. 🧡
