The Wiccan wheel has many parallels with Native American/Meso American medicine wheel traditions and spirituality. It's universal because it has to do with astronomical realities with living on planet Earth.
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME , I AM A TRADITIONAL WITCH , MY MOTHER , GRAND MOTHER AND FAMILY HAVE CELEBRATED THESE DAYS GOING BACK OVER 150 YEARS OR MORE WHAT THEY WERE CALLED WAS LESS IMPORTANT , CELEBRATING THE EARTH ,THE CRAFT AND THE ENERGY AROUND US WAS ALWAYS THE FOCUS FOR US ...THANK YOU ...} O {...
i already have my mabon celebrations planned for my coven & i! i'm sooo excited. this is my first mabon celebration as a circle & i am so ready for fall! we're planning on making a gratitude garland :3
thanks for the info on it, it's nice to get some extra tidbits about it.
Great video! My plans include spending tome with my family (especially my sister since it’s her birthday), also crafting some wreaths from fallen twigs, burning some incense, writing a gratitude list, taking a walk, and dressing up for the occasion 🍁
Great videos. I really enjoy how you include examples and ideas from several different traditions and parts of the world. And you make it clear it's a reconstructed holiday and we can do whatever we like which has meaning for us personally to celebrate this season.
Thank you for including a non-European example in your video today! It’s nice to see many different ways of celebration
Saw your post on Reddit, I’ve been looking for a video like this! Thanks for posting, very informative and fun! :)
Awesome! I'm glad you found my channel :)
This year in 2020 Mabon falls on my birthday :)
Hi Morgan, I hope you have a wonderful Mabon and birthday this year! :)
Definitely prefer the history of celebrations. Great video thank you 😊
Thanks for the excellent post! It is just what I needed as I prepare to celebrate tomorrow (yes, a day early) in community with others. Great perspective!
Autumn happens to be my favorite time of year!!!
Since I became a wiccan, I started getting more aware of the seasonal changes and how it affects me. I can feel the warmth change radically through, especially, the equinoxes and solstices.
This was also the first sabbath, that I did rituals the way I do them today ☺️ It is evolving and still under development, but this was the first time, I celebrated a sabbath my own way 🧡
Since I mainly work with roman deities, I most likely will do a roman version 🍷🥰
Thank you for this information 🙏🏾 blessed be 💖
I was born on the Autumn season, my absolute favorite time for many celebrations! 🤗🍃🍁
During Thanksgiving time do you still share the same style dinner Thanksgiving tradition, or do you have a different tradition? As long as there's food, any style is fine with me haha!
😃🍗🍞🥗
During Thanksgiving I'm usually with family so I have a pretty traditional dinner. :)
I have just found you videos and have found them so helpful on my new path to paganism :) but i was wondering if anyone had any advice. I really connect with the rest of paganism, but with all my research I keep reading about deities, gods and goddesses but i don't believe in those things. I feel a deep connection to the earth and believe that the earth and its spirits are the divine. Are there pagans that don't believe in deities or would i be classed as something other than pagan?
Awesome! I'm glad you found my channel. Paganism is pretty wide collection of beliefs so I think you can definitely declare yourself as Pagan if you believe in nature spirits but don't necessarily believe in deities. :)
Broadly speaking, what you describe is often termed 'animism'. Many pre-Christian pagan traditions are both animistic and pantheistic. Pantheistic religious traditions feature (as you may have guessed) a pantheon of deity figures who embody focused natural or social archetypes. There is a giant rabbit hole of philosophical debate concerning the word 'pantheism' that seems to me to be a 'my God is all of your gods put together' thrown together with some creation theory mumbo-jumbo. Aren't labels and words fun? In any event, many modern reconstructions of proto-indo-european religions are deeply animistic. To pick one: I'd say Druidic interpretations have a particularly strong connection to the natural world.
The bellows of my fire start up intense weapon and armor smithing.
This is the first Mabonwi will “formally “ celebrate and I am planning tarot and homemade apple crumble as a simple way to honor it.
This is the first of your videos that I’ve found and I already love you and your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
You're welcome! I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my videos. :)
I have no way to celebrate Mabon. I was planning on making some fall-themed desserts or something because I'm still in the broom closet so anything grand will seem suspicious. My mom couldn't find some of the ingredients in the store, so we can't make them. We have pumpkin flavored little bites and that is it. My Altar is barely put together so I can't even celebrate spiritually. I don't know what to do. This is my first Sabbat and preparing for it has been terrible so far, and I don't know if I will be able to celebrate.
No need to feel pressured to have a big Mabon celebration. Even a simple walk outside where you can appreciate the Autumn is a form of Pagan celebration. :)
@@ScarletRavenswood alright, thank you!
Something super easy is fire pits or grills. You just look like you’re enjoying a totally “normal” thing. I don’t have an alter in a traditional sense. I have a cast iron pot that I use then is put up when done with all my other pots and pans including cast iron skillets. People come to visit it’s just another part of the kitchen.
Don't worry about making a huge celebration. I love to gather dry grass and tree Leaves in the Fall and put them on my altar--usually after they are dried--so last year's leaves--but fresh leaves work, too. Flowers, fresh or dried or growing in a pot, make good Altar stuff, as do apples, a bowl of grain. Any fruit will do. Then you can eat it and share it with family and friends. I make oatmeal with the oats later, or add the barley or lentils or rice to soup. Also, I find any kind of soup, stew, lasagna, even fancy macaroni & cheese is a great way to celebrate Mabon and Fall in general. It's about having a warm, comforting meal to celebrate the season. It doesn't matter what food, as long as it tastes good to us.
@@magpiem0thwhile on your walk I recommend picking up a few seasonal things you coke upon like a colorful fallen leaf or a pinecone. You can put these on your window sill as a small altar to honor the season, if you like. Not necessary qt all but just an idea to add your walking ritual.
It’s not just a British thing though. Mabon was celebrated in Ireland as well (pre-conquer by English) It was both Gaelic and Celtic celebration. N think other countries had something similar, but not sure what they called it. But this was interesting.
this was so informative thank you!
Hi Gianna, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
I’m 13 , I really want to celebrate the pagan holidays. Any fun tips for doing so?
You could bake traditional foods, go outside for a walk, have a feast, wear corresponding colours, etc. It’s nice to see another young person practicing! I’m 15.
Thanks for all the tips :) I’ll definitely bake something and I have the perfect outfit
Very informative love how you include Aidan Kelly coining the phrase Mabon but one small problem, four of the 8 holidays are not of Celtic origin. Samhain, Beltane, Imbolc and lughnasadh are the four Gaelic fire festival and that is where they got their origin from and Lammas which is used instead of lughnasadh by some is actually Angelo Saxon Wheat festival. I did learn a few new things so thank you and Blessed Be.
In the beginning you showed a book, who’s the Author and name?
The book is Autumn Equinox by Ellen Dugan :)
Thank You My friend
Can you celebrate even though your not wiccan/pagan?
Certainly! Most religions have a celebration around the same time of year. Rosh-ha-shana for Jews, Michaelmas for Catholics, and so forth. You can go all out with an altar and bonfire or simply meditate and appreciate the balance and time of change. It is my opinion that ancient (and modern) pagans tend to look at the world around them for what to do and how to celebrate holidays, rather than a highly structured approach. Your celebration is your own.

Mabon, it's a Welsh name.
It is. So is Modhran or Modran, as Aiden Kelly was looking at the Welsh Druidic traditions that contemporary 1970's "Druids" were trying to revive.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have a question. Are you always smiling in your videos? It looks like you are. If so, how do you keep it up?
I've always been told I have a bubbly personality. ;)
