Happy Mabon!!

I am quite excited for today is Mabon one of my favorite sabbats. Why? Well as the 'pagan thanksgiving' that means lots of food and pigging out as well as my favorite time of year. I love to beatiful fall colors the changing of the leaves and the crisp magickal air that surrounds me. I am posting a giving thanks spell for the day from http://www.llewellyn.com/spell.php

Mabon Spell of Gratitude

September 22
Wednesday
Mabon - Fall Equinox

Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Lilac

Mabon, the Witches’ version of Thanksgiving, is the second of the three
harvest sabbats and a time to reflect on what blessings we’ve received.
It’s probably instinct to always want more in our lives: more money,
more love, more friends, a better job, a fitter body, a house in the
country. We rarely rest having realized one goal before we eagerly
pursue the next. This striving makes for a full and rich life, but for
real happiness, we must practice the art of gratitude. As Lao Tzu said:

"Be content with what you have;
Rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
The whole world belongs to you."

Begin this on Mabon and continue a practice of gratitude throughout the
year. Every morning, light a stick of incense on your altar and take a
few minutes to thank the Spirit for the multitude of blessings you enjoy
each day.
