Related festivals:

• Sukkot- is a Torah-commanded holiday celebrated for seven days, beginning on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. It is one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Hebrew: שלוש רגלים, shalosh regalim) on which those Israelites who could were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. In addition to its harvest roots, the holiday also holds spiritual importance with regard to its abandonment of materialism to focus on nationhood, spirituality, and hospitality, this principle underlying the construction of a temporary, almost nomadic, structure of a sukkah.

• Mid-Autumn festival- also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated by other cultures in East & Southeast Asia. It is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture; its popularity is on par with that of Chinese New Year. The history of the Mid-Autumn Festival dates back over 3,000 years. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Chinese believe that the Moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn.

• Thanksgiving- This is a secular holiday which is similar to the cell of Mabon; A day to give thanks for the food & blessings of the previous year. The American Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November while the Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated in October

• Festival of Dionysus- There were several festivals that honored Dionysus, the God of wine. It was a time of fun, games, feasting & drinking wine.

Activities:

•Scatter offerings in a harvested fields, Offer libations to trees

• Decorate your home and/or altar space for fall

• Bake bread

• Perform a ritual to restore balance and harmony to your life

• Cleanse your home of negative energies

• Pick apples

• Have a dinner or feast with your family and/or friends

• Set intentions for the upcoming year

• Purge what is no longer serving you

•Take a walk in the woods

• Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte

• Donate to your local food bank

• Gather dried herbs, plants, seeds & pods

• Learn something new

• Make wine

• Brew an apple cinnamon simmer pot

• Create an outdoor Mabon altar

•Adorn burial sites with leaves, acorns, & pinecones to honor those who have passed over & visit their graves

Many cultures see the second harvest (after the first harvest Lammas) and equinox as a time for giving thanks. This time of year is when farmers know how well their summer crops did, and how well fed their animals have become. This determines whether you and your family would have enough food for the winter. That is why people used to give thanks around this time, thanks for their crops, and animals, and food. 

The name Mabon comes from the Welsh God, who was the son of the Earth Mother Goddess. However, there is evidence that the name was adopted in the 1970s, and the holiday was not originally a Celtic celebration.

Some believe Night and day are of equal legth and the God's energy & strength are nearly gone . The Goddess begins to mourn the loss she knows is coming, but knows he will return when he reborn at Yule.

🌽Full corn harvest moon in Aries, September 29th 2023, 11:58:21

The full corn harvest moon marks a time of completion, release, closure, transitioning and transformation. It's a good time for rounding up large projects you've been working on earlier this year.

The full moon being in the fiery sign of Aries can heighten emotions and the need to release these emotions. At the same time the moon being in Aries, which focusses on self-improvement and ones own needs, opposes the sun in Libra, which focusses on relations. This urges us to reflect on our own role in our relationships and to achieve compromise through negotiations, to meet both our own and others needs and find balance in relationships and the confrontation of lingering issues. The full moon in Aries signifies a time for renewed action and the release of stagnant energy that has been holding you back. Aries will influence the energy of the full moon, giving you enthusiasm, courage and determination to take action and tackle challenges.

Aries being focused on self-improvement also opens up new horizons and the possibility to find further insight in your life's mission and soul's purpose and take steps to pursue this.

At the same time it's important to not give in too much to Aries impulsive energy and instead of acting before thinking try to slow down a bit, take things step by step and think before acting, while practicing some self-control of emotions. Although initially experiencing feelings of being stuck or feeling uninspired, the full moon in Aries calls for change and encourages assertiveness. Through focusing on self-improvement, experiencing heightened self-esteem and learning from past mistakes this time is a time of healing and a time of taking steps and action to grow and build towards a better future. 🌙

To clarify, I was away last weekend, and then I spent the last few days fighting a cold since coming home.

Oh well, better late than never...

Here's the September Full Moon portrait, which some refer to as the 'Corn Moon' to signify the harvest at this time of year.

There was a treat in the skies above Massachusetts Tuesday night September 17, 2024. It was the September full moon, a supermoon known as the "Harvest Moon". It's also called the "Corn Moon."

During this full moon there was also a partially lunar eclipse.

What's a supermoon?

A supermoon is simply a full moon that occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit (also known as perigee). This tends to happen about three-to-four times each year, and we'll get another one next month. Supermoons look a bit larger and brighter than a typical full moon.

Lunar eclipse

As lunar eclipses go, this one was pretty minor.

At its peak, the Earth's shadow covered only 9% of the moon's diameter over Massachusetts. This means about 4% of the moon's surface entered the umbra, the darkest portion of the Earth's shadow.

Here are photos I took just before the partial eclipse started and then when about 9% of the lunar eclipse was occurring.

Lights, Shine Bright!

Aw! The Corn Moon aka the Harvest Moon aka the Super Moon! What a beautiful sight to behold! We have been in awe of its beauty the last few nights! Didn’t our Creator provide us with so much entertainment with His majestic and artistic abilities? LOOKING UP to the night sky and seeing this moon brings me calm and comfort, especially when we consider all that is going on here on planet Earth.…

Corn Full Moon is here! Here are some powerful affirmations, tailored for the Corn Full Moon, for this very successful, very prosperous energy. Also, I'm sharing rituals. Rituals are important because boundless success and unlimited opportunities is the end goal. I've been there before when I didn't even know how to craft anything or where to begin, so I get it. But you'll need actions (rituals) behind your affirmations.

The action paired with the affirmations is the combination.

Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius

Today is the Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius - But what does it mean ? 

The Sturgeon Moon is the first full moon in August. A powerful time to spend real effort letting go of things that no longer serve you. This year, that sentiment is doubled because of the moon’s position in aquarius. Aquarius is excellent at letting us be free when we need to be, but the sturgeon moon demands us to challenge ourselves too.  So, this may be a time of letting go and moving on, but it isn’t going to be easy, and it shouldn’t be either. It’s a cliche to say “nothing worth having comes easy” but this really is the spirit of this full moon. This is an excellent time to start something new, especially as this moon falls on the same day as Lughnasadh, but we are being warned that if we start new projects without letting go of the habits, behaviours, situations, objects or even people that have blocked our success before then we can’t expect to get success in new endeavours.  You can’t repeat the same habits and expect a different outcome, and this is the moon that’s asking you to break the habits holding you back, and accept that change can be painful, but that doesn’t mean its not right.
