Mabon Ritual/Rite General

Soon the Mother to her rest will go
Our second harvest we gladly store
For the long winter that lies ahead

Hail Son of the Light
Divine maker of grace
We offer up our thanks for the harvest
Your bountiful sunshine makes

Hail Mother Earth in your autumn dress
Gold and russets adorn your frame
Bless us now with thy fiery grace
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Autumn winds that blow
The leaves dance around our feet
Bless us now with thy dance of life
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Sunlight's waning fire
Soon to cool in your winters sleep
Bless us now with thy gentle light
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Waters that flow sweet
Soon to become locked in ice's embrace
Bless us now with thy last flows
We thank you in the Mothers name

New born the light this day of shadows bright
We dance in the fields beneath the pale moonlight
Long and weary has been the fight
To harvest the land for the long winter night

Hail Merry maker, we ask your leave tonight
To join with us in song, that we are alive this night
Each day we live is a blessing, as tomorrow is promised to none
Help us to remember this and take some time for fun

Hail Caldron keeper, who stirs up the fates of man
She who knows tomorrow's fates
Be kind to those of the land

Stand tall and upright
Ye children of this night
Lift your hearts to the light
Open wide your arms to the harvest King
Feel the blessings that his presence brings

Time to lay down all the weal of woe
To face the morrow with power and grace
Time to heal the weary soul
We gather the power in this place
To face the long nights of winters cold

The light stands equal to light and dark this day
As all men are equal in the Mothers sight
Share we this harvest of grace and power
With all we can reach with our ken

Reach out and feel the lands embrace
And share its bounty forth
To all men peace and plenty for the nights to come
Let none be without resource
We ask it in the Mothers name

Hail Mother Earth in your autumn dress
Gold and russets adorn your frame
Blessed us you did with thy fiery grace
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Autumn winds that blow
The leaves dance around our feet
Blessed us you did with thy dance of life
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Sunlight's waning fire
Soon to cool in your winters sleep
Blessed us you did with thy gentle light
We thank you in the Mothers name

Hail to the Waters that flow sweet
Soon to become locked in ice's embrace
Blessed us you did with thy last flows
We thank you in the Mothers name
