Mabon 2025 in the Pfaffenhofen yew forest

Mabon, the autumn equinox.

Let’s celebrate Mabon, the second harvest festival in Ordinary Time.
Berries and wine are harvested and before the long nights go by, we find ourselves in a brief moment of complete balance, absolute equilibrium.

Day and night are of equal length.

We gather to celebrate, to say thank you for the bountiful harvest and to decide what to throw on the sacred compost of life because we no longer need it, it is perhaps “too much of a good thing” and may now enter into the great mysterious alchemy of Mama Earth.

Balance and change.
Completing and letting go.

It is the time to administer justice, to enter into or terminate contracts, to resolve conflicts.
Time to invite peace.

The spirit of the West is the guardian and shaper of this time.
He is cheerful and friendly and he knows about transience.
He helps us to find the right words to clarify things and to forgive ourselves many things.
He is the guardian of transition, guards the knowledge of becoming and passing away, and he wanders between worlds.
The bird’s eye view has become second nature to him and the mysterious twilight is his home.

It is the time of meetings when the days are getting shorter.
We gather and gather and work together to prepare for what is to come.

And so we call you to the sacred fire of the West!
We cordially invite you to take your place in the circle!

Depending on the weather, in the meeting room in the Eibenwald in Pfaffenhofen or at a special place in nature.

From the bottom of my heart,
Alice and Jörg
