Mabon Tarot Spread: Harvesting Insight and Gratitude
Mabon History
Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, celebrates the second harvest and the balance of day and night. This year, on September 22, Mabon is a time to honor balance, reflection, and gratitude for the year's abundance.
Historically, this sabbat didn’t have a specific name—it was simply the harvest celebration held in September. In the 1970s, Aidan Kelly, founder of the Wiccan group Covenant of the Goddess, coined the term Mabon. Though Mabon ap Modron, a Welsh deity, isn’t directly connected to the fall equinox or harvest, Kelly chose the name for its symbolic resonance with the season. The name has since become widely accepted.
This celebration is often a time to gather with loved ones, enjoy seasonal foods, and give thanks for the gifts of the Earth. It’s also a moment to reflect on the balance in our own lives—letting go of what no longer serves us while preparing for the slower, more introspective winter months ahead.
Mabon Spread
As Mabon marks the balance between light and dark, it offers us a powerful moment to reflect on the harvest of our lives—both literal and metaphorical. This tarot spread is designed to honor the themes of Mabon: celebrating what we’ve gathered, embracing the shift into the darker season, and discovering how to find abundance as the light fades. Through these cards, we can gain insight into what we’ve nurtured, what we need to release, and how to carry the energy of gratitude and abundance into the months ahead.
The Interpretation:
1 - What is being harvested.
2 - Challenges or obstacles.
3 - What abundance is rising out of this harvest?
4 - What will fall away this season?
5- What is hidden in the dark?
6 - What will the light soon reveal?
