MABON & FEATURE

~MoonDaughters:iconMoonDaughters: reports, September 23, 2007
We celebrate Mabon (in the North hemisphere) or Ostara (if we live in the South hemisphere).

Mabon/ Autumn Equinox

During the Autumn Equinox Mabon is celebrated. This celebración of celtic origins also receives the name of “Winter Fidding” , “Alban Elfed“, “Last Harvest” and “Birth of the Winter“.
Mabón is the the Welsh God of fertility and in his festivity we celebrate the force of the Renaissance and the Creation of the Mother Earth.
The Autumn Equinox makes that night and day during the same time and is time to mull over the imminent dark that completes the natural cycle that the paganism takes as measurement of real and espiritual time.
In this time we also shown our grateful for the diminution of the light of the Sun, while the last harvests of the year.
Neopaganism celebrates the aging of the Goddess, that becomes to Old Mother, and his spouse, the God, that ges ready for Death…and rebirth.
In this Sabbath is suitable to wear our finest clothes and to celebrate it in style.
It´s time to share with the family because we are meeting ready for the end of the year, in Samhain.
This is a time of introspección too, because we enter in a period of rest, relax and musing.
In Lammas, when harvest began, the God shedded his blood on the Earth and he was retired to the underground worlds.
In the Autumn Equinox, he returns to take the Goddess and bring her to the dephts from he cames.
Since this moment , plants stop to give fruits and the Earth is ready to the ardes season of the year, the Winter.
The pagan celebrate the end of the divinity time- waiting their reborn, fullfilling in that way the universal nature cycle- in the autumn equinox.
Once again we be grateful in this time for the equality of day and night.
At this key time in the year we prepare us to the culminación of the year cycle and the rebirth of the knowledge and the life.
We can decorate our altar with a white candle and a black one, symbolizing the natural balance of the year.
We celebrate too different kind of cycles: the pagan who have cultivate a magic garden have just finíshed
To harvest the last fruits of Summer.
Others will harvest the practical, magical and spiritual profits of the previos year.
Many pagans remeber the harvest elaborating some fecundity symbols, like the wheat dolls. These decorative figures doned with wheat spikes where made originally to capture the spirit of harvest when he jumped of blow in the last cutted wheat spike.
In fact, it´said that the word doll - “dolly” - is a possible corruption of the word “Idol” in english language.

This “doll” was taken with great ceremony and returned to the farm, to kepí it in safe place,until next year harvest appears and begin to grow.

Aspect of the Divinities: For some Traditions, the Goddess Widow cries for his fallen spouse, that has been sacrificed to give the life to the Earth.

Fiesta pagana Mabón/ Equinoccio de Otoño.

Durante el Equinoccio de Otoño se celebra la festividad de Mabón. Esta festividad de origen celta, también recibe el nombre de Winter Fidding, Alban Elfed, última Cosecha y Nacimiento del Invierno. Mabón es el Dios Galés de la fertilidd y en su fiesta se celebra la fuerza del renacimiento y la creación de la Tierra Madre. El Equinoccio de Otoño divide el día y la noche por igual y es un momento para reflexionar sobre la oscuridad inminente que completa el ciclo natural que el paganismo toma como medida del tiempo real y espiritual. También se dan gracias por la disminución de la luz del Sol mientras se recogen las últimas cosechas del año. Los neopaganos celebran el envejecimiento de la Diosa que pasa de Madre a Anciana y su consorte, el Dios, que se prepara para la muerte y el renacimiento. En este Sabbat es apropiado vestir con las ropas más finas y celebrar en grande. Es tiempo de reunir a la familia pues nos preparamos para el final del año en Samhaim. Es una é;poca de introspección porque nos preparamos para un período de descanso, relajación y reflexión.


En Lammas, cuando comenzó la cosecha, el Dios derramó su sangre sobre la tierra y se retiró a los mundos subterráneos. En el equinoccio de otoño, retorna para llevarse a la Diosa a las profundidades de las que vino.

Desde este momento, las plantas dejan de producir y la tierra se prepara para la severa estación del invierno.

Los paganos celebran el fin del tiempo divino - en espera de su renacimiento, cumpliendo asi con el ciclo natural universal- con el equinoccio de otoño. Una vez más, agradecen este periodo en el que los días y las noches tienen igual duración. En este momento crucial del
año, los paganos se preparan para la culminación del ciclo y el renacimiento pleno del conocimiento y la vida. Adornan sus altares con una vela blanca y otra negra que simbolizan el equilibrio del año.

Se celebran diferentes tipos de ciclos: Los paganos que hayan cultivado un jardín habrán terminado justo de recoger los últimos frutos del Verano. Otros cosecharán los logros prácticos, espirituales y mágicos del año anterior.

Muchos paganos tienen presente las mies, elaborando símbolos de fecundidad, como las muñecas de trigo. Estas figuras decorativas hechas con las espogas de este cereal se fabricaban originalmente para capturar al espíritu de la cosecha cuando este saltaba de golpe en la última gavilla de trigo cortada. De hecho, se dice que la palabra muñeca ( en ingés Dolly ) es una posible corrupción de la palabra "Idol" o ídolo en el mismo idioma.

Esta era llevada con Gran ceremonia, de vuelta a la granja donde se guardaba en lugar seguro, hasta que la cosecha del año siguiente brotaba y empezaba a crecer.
