Blue Star was founded with the idea that all Gods have value and that Nature should have a place of honor in our rituals. At Mabon, we change a special candle from green to red to acknowledge the shift in power brought on by the equinox.
While the autumn equinox itself has clearly been recognized across cultures for millennia, Mabon as a Sabbat was developed during the pagan revival and reconstruction of the mid-20th century, similar to its vernal counterpart, Ostara.
Mabon celebrates the autumn equinox, a time when daylight and darkness will stand in balance, and after which our days will grow darker and colder as our half of the Earth moves further from the Sun.
