Finding Balance in the Second Harvest

​
As the wheel of the year turns toward the Autumn Equinox, we hit a powerful, fleeting threshold where night and day stand in exact equality. Mabon marks the second harvest—a crucial energetic turning point where the lingering radiance of summer surrenders to the quiet depth of the dark half of the year.  Leaving us with what feels like eternal night and colder days.  

​In ancient times, this moment called for pausing long enough to count the crops, store the yield, and ground the household for the coming cold. Magically, it is our annual invitation to look at where our own lives have tipped out of alignment. Balance isn't a permanent state; it is a continuous adjustment and a challenge to maintain.  By honoring this midpoint, you can clear out summer's frantic energy, gather your personal harvest, and establish stability within your space before the veil thins completely.  Your harvest may be memories, belongings, people, and places.

The Purification Process In the kitchen, purification happens in two vital ways. First, we have to maintain a clean workspace that is physically and vibrationally suitable to create in. Second, the food we use must be fresh and clean. When you wash your vegetables or prep your ra...
