Yule 2021
Gift Giving
Children were escorted from house to house with gifts of clove spiked apples and oranges which were laid in baskets of evergreen boughs and wheat stalks dusted with flour. The apples and oranges represented the sun, the boughs were symbolic of immortality, the wheat stalks portrayed the harvest, and the flour was the accomplishment of triumph, light, and life. Holly, mistletoe, and ivy not only decorated the outside but also the inside of homes. It was to extend an invitation to Nature Sprites to come and join the celebration. A sprig of Holly was kept near the door all year long as a constant invitation for good fortune to pay a visit to the residents.
Mabon/ Autumn Equinox
Mabon is a time to take stock of the seeds you sowed this year and to offer gratitude for your harvest and count your blessings. I want to take this opportunity to wish my blog followers and the followers of my podcast Mabon Blessings. I also want you to know that I am grateful for each of you that have followed my blog since I created it 12 years ago. It has changed several times since then and I have added Twitter, ladydyanna.com, and ladydyanna.org too. I have taken time away from my blog to spend some time on Patreon and create a weekly chat on the Twin soul relationships and how that and your spiritual path works together. My podcast on the same topic is the latest seeds I have planted, so thanks to those who have been here with me through all the changes and the additions. I have a lot to feel blessed for this Mabon and you each are part of that blessing. Wishing you Bright and Bountiful Mabon Blessing!
