Happy & Merry Mabon

Mabon
Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 21st

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter's Night, which is the Norse New Year.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

Tis a full moon..

A wonderful time for a prosperity spell..


Shimmering Silver Spell

You'll need to perform this on the night of the full moon, and it must be a clear night so the light of the moon actually comes in through your window. Hopefully, that's not too inconvenient for you. All you need is:

• A cauldron
• 7 basil leaves, fresh
• Water, rain or spring
• 1 silver coin

If you don't have a cauldron, use a ceramic bowl (not metal for this one), and the coin must have silver in it. An old dime is a good choice.

Put the coin in the bottom of the cauldron, and pour water over it. Fill it at least half full, but it's up to you. Set the bowl in a window or on a table so that the moonlight shines on it.

One at a time, drop the basil leaves into the water, and say:

By the light of the moon
Bless me soon
Water and silver shine
Wealth be mine in due time

Leave the cauldron or bowl until the next morning, then pour the water and basil out in the yard. Carry the coin in your pocket.

Bright Blessings

Todays moon phase is a waxing cresent moon..

This means that the moon is growing and each day it will get bigger and bigger, and then ye shall see the full moon.

This is really good time for crafting spells and magick that attracts things, good luck, love, good health, happiness..keep in mind, the bigger the moon, the stronger the magick...

On a side note, todays moon has got me thinking of what I might cook for dinner?

what shall a kitchen witch whip up today? lol

The first thing im thinking is to cook a dish with herbs from my own magickal garden..I want to use herbs that will attract good things into my life and into the life of my family..

Luckily, being the witch that I am, I happen to grow all my own herbs lol..Ive got every kind of herb you can just about think of lol..

Im a thinking, that herbs such as sage and tyhme and sweet basil would be the proper herbs to use..

Sage = Sage is used in magic for wisdom, psychic awareness, long life and protection. As secondary aspects, spells for money use sage. But, by far, its most potent aspect is wisdom and learning. Sage is often bundled tightly into smudge sticks and burned as a scent.

Thyme = Thyme is used in magic for healing, psychic awareness and purification. Often used in love spells, Venus lends this herb high potential in this purpose. Thyme can be used in air magic, releasing its essence slowly.

Sweet Basil = Love, Exorcism, Wealth, Flying, Protection, Visionary, Fertility, Funeral, Consecration, Immortality and Purification

I feel using these herbs in my supper tonight, will bring a lil good luck, happiness, and love into my home in the most magickal of ways..

Now what dish?

"Spaghetti w/ Beef & Mushroom Sauce"

Now heres a tasty easy dish to prepare and what makes this dish so special? its my mama's and my grandmothers
recipes...

Lets make a lil magick!

1 pound of lean ground beef

1/2 cup of chopped onion

1 10.75 ounce can of condensed mushroom soup

1 15 oz can sliced mushroom, tho I feel fresh mushrooms are best

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 15 oz can of tomato sauce

1/2 teaspoon of sweet basil

1/2 teaspoon of sage

1/2 teaspoon of sage

In a large saucepan cook the groundbeef and onion until the meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain. Stir in mushroom soup, tomato sauce, mushrooms and your herbs, and dont forget a pinch of fresh garlic. Simmer covered for 20 minutes and of course, stir your caulden as needed eh?

meanwhile, cook your spaghettie noodles as directed and drain..
