The Autumn Equinox & Mabon: Ancient Tradition or Modern Creation? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is Mabon actually an ancient Pagan holiday? And what does Mabon have to do with the Autumn Equinox? We're going down the rabbit hole of Mabon, the Wheel of the Year, ancient harvest traditions, Samhain, Halloween, and the surprisingly complicated history behind the fall traditions we know today.
