THE MABON ORACLE CARD || THE MODERN GODDESS ORACLE DECK

How’s everything going, Goddess?

Mabon happens around September 21st, the Autumn Equinox. It’s the second of three harvest-themed celebrations of the year. It holds the energy of balance because on this day, daylight and darkness are equal. It’s a time to enjoy the second harvest of the year, but you can also feel the chill of winter creeping in.

If you draw the Mabon card, you are being called to take an inventory of your life. What life goals have you accomplished this year? What’s been working for you? What has been holding you back? Now is the time to pause and look behind you. Your mind is clear and you are balanced enough to evaluate the life choices you’ve made.

Let me ask you, Goddess, are you winning at life?

Ah! Trick question. You’re always winning because things are always unfolding for your highest growth and highest good. The real question is do you feel like you’re winning? Do you feel powerful and aligned?

If not, now is the perfect time to reassess the situation. Decide if you need to keep moving full steam ahead or if you need to change course.

Legal matters might be on your mind right now. This is an excellent time to resolve any outstanding legal issues and set the tone for future interactions. Pay those parking tickets. Tell your ex to stop texting you. Enough is enough, and you’re just over it.

Practical Magic for the Modern Goddess

To celebrate Mabon, decorate your altar with candles, crystals, and fruits in the shades of secondary colors—orange, green, and purple. These colors are made by mixing the hues of two primary colors. This represents the mixing of daylight and darkness. We need both light and darkness to feel balanced, and that balance creates something beautiful.

For a spell to resolve a conflict, use a bit of knot magic. For this spell, you’ll need a cord that you know you’ll be able to untie. Decide which hand will represent you and which hand will represent the other person or party. Hold the cord in your hands and think about the conflict between you and the other person. Give in to whatever emotions this conflict brings up. When you’re ready, tie a knot in the cord. Pour all of your emotion into the knot, releasing it from your body.

Next, close your eyes and visualize the way you’d like your conflict to be resolved. See if you can extend some love and compassion to the other person. Then slowly untie the knot with both hands. In the same easeful way, you and the other person will figure out how to solve this conflict together.
