Happy Mabon, Tragics!
The air is turning slightly cooler, a welcomed relief from the sun drenched Summer. The Autumn Equinox is when the day and night are equal in the forces of light and dark. This Sabbat celebration is a time to tune into the Earth and our core selves.

Mabon occurs in the The Southern Hemisphere on March 20, 2025, and on September 23, 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a time for balance and to find equilibrium in our polarities. This space allows us to reacquaint with the full scope of our internal dual nature: mirrored by the natural world around us.
It is a period of change between seasons and yourself. The second harvest reminds us to truly take inventory of our lives and acknowledge what we reap the rewards of, or what we may be lacking. Prepare for the next cycle by taking stock of what you have and clear out what you no longer need. Mabon represents preparation, gratitude and reflection.
Acknowledge what you have, express gratitude and integrate your current state into your present reality before entering the upcoming seasons of darkness and cold. Mabon is an ideal time to perform rituals to protect their space and energy during this transition.
Whether you're a beginner witch or are experienced in the craft, our Mabon rituals will help ensure you getting the most out of celebrating this Autumn Equinox in 2025.
We have created a few Mabon Rituals for you to try for this Sabbat. These were designed by our in-house witches!

Healing Corn Doll (Advanced)
This ritual is for more advanced witches, though anyone can give it a try! Don't forget, we are always here to help you & guide you through your witchcraft journey!
You'll need
- Fresh Corn Cob with Husk
- Mabon Resin Blend
- Twine
-
Notebook
The Ritual
- Write your intention on a small piece of paper. Focus on healing as you perform this ritual.
- Peel the husks from the corn, while keeping them as intact as possible.
- Tie a piece of twine around the base of the corn cob, and hang it somewhere to dry out.
- In the center of a large piece of corn husk, place approximately one teaspoon of the resin incense and your piece of paper.
- To make the head and neck, fold the husk in half, while turning the edges to ensure the resin stays inside the husk. Tie a piece of twine underneath the bulge created by the resin. (It should look like a little ghost)
- Using 2 pieces of the husk laid on top of each other, fold the ends over then roll it, tie off in 3-5 places along the length of the roll. This will be the arms.
- Using the remaining husks, fold them in half, and wrap them around the section below the head. This will look like a dress.
- Tie the arms to the body by wrapping them with twine in a figure 8 formation.
- At this point you can leave the doll as is or you can use twine to shape the dress into legs.
- Use the corn doll and corn cob as decoration for your Mabon altar, and as a vessel for welcoming healing energies into your life.
- When your corn cob and doll are dry, and once you feel it is right, burn both in a well ventilated area, and visualize the smoke as the positive energies returning home to rest and renew.
