September 22-25 is Mabon, and I am reflecting on how important it was for me to learn about the moons and sabbats at the beginning of my witchy journey.
By observing holidays based on the earth’s natural cycles, I started to see my personal journey reflected in hers.
I learned that change happens gradually, in fits and starts.
I learned that sometimes there is unpredictable events that shake up plans.
I started to see that my body’s longing for rest or my mind’s need for daydreams were all par for the course. More so, they are essential.
I became gentler with myself. I am not a machine that abides in human-made rules. I am a living, breathing organism, a part of nature.
Finally, healing could take place and my power grew stronger.
I hope that you may find some benefit in following the sabbats too, or some sort of nature-based system.
Because you are a glorious, radiant being much like the crystals and herbs and plants that you use.
You also have a magic deep within you and this Mabon I hope you find it.
