About the event
In Celtic folklore, Mabon is named after the Mabon god of Welsh mythology, who is the son of the god of light and mother earth, ‘Modron.’ Mabon is celebrated to thank Mother Earth for the abundance and gifts of nature. Mabon is considered by the pagans as the day to give thanks for the harvest and to share the bounty with the less fortunate. It has been celebrated by the modern pagans as the last of the eight Sabbats in the 1970s. Click HERE to view the resources developed by National Today.
