Fall Equinox is also known as Mabon. It’s on September 22nd in both 2020 and 2021. It’s the second of the harvest festivals, and often includes rituals to honor the animals we hunt and the grain we cut down to feed ourselves. Day and night are of equal length. Our song Balance in All Things can be used to acknowledge this time of balance. This equinox marks the beginning of fall, and the song Autumn Time describes the beauty of this season.
