Mabon/Autumn Equinox

Mabon

Southern Hemisphere March 21 

Northern Hemisphere September 21

Now the God is preparing to leave His body. He knows He is dying and it is all right because soon enough He will be reunited with His bride once again. The Goddess prepares to grow weak as the Earth will freeze over when Winter arrives. This is the Witches' Thanksgiving.
