MABON – Equinox. The last Sabbat of the year, Mabon, is named
for the Welsh God who is called the `great son.' This festival is
celebrated at the autumn equinox and marks the second of the three
harvests. Apple and berry harvesting, cemetery visitations, and wine
making are a central feature of this observance. In Welsh mythology,
Mabon was stolen from his mother when he was three days old and taken
to live in the dark underworld until rescued in the spring. This myth
underscores the fact that after this night of balance, darkness
emerges triumphant over the light, and will remain so until Ostara.
