Mabon or for the Norse it was called Fall Feast, lands around September 22-24, those dates vary because of the 400-year cycle of leap years in the Gregorian Calendar. Mabon represents the second harvest season of the year before winter prevails once again. Giving thanks for the Lands blessing of its gifts from the land.  It is celebrated even to this day with bonfires, great feasts, and dancing. Even during the times Christianity was rampant villagers would cast the bones of Slaughtered Cattle into the bonfires, it is thought that is where we got the term for bonfires, deriving from “Bone Fires”.  I never really celebrated Mabon, during that time of the month, we usually started setting out Fall decorations, enjoyed the cooler Temperatures by having the windows open, and started slowing down awaiting the frigid temperatures of winter.
