Mabon 103: Living in Harmony with the Seasons

The Horn & Cauldron

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

Mabon, which takes place on the Autumnal Equinox, is about balance and gratitude. I like to think of the modern witchcraft sabbats, and the Norse blots as ways to honor, explore, experience, and add magic to the seasons as they pass by. There's nothing wrong with having a favorite season, but have you considered finding joy in each season as you experience it?

We've often talk about how moving to a small cabin in the woods at the edge of civilization has taught us how to understand and live with the change in seasons. Not everyone has the ability or desire to live in a cabin at the edge of the woods, dispensing wisdom and the occasional potion to visitors and passersby, but you can find your own way to live with the seasons, even if you generally hate the cold of winter, or the heat of summer.

In this episode, we go over the mundane and magical ways you can incorporate seasonal harmony into your routine. We also talk about the ways that living in harmony with the seasons has helped us, and how we incorporate it in our lives.
