What is a prayer for Mabon?
A prayer for Mabon is the easiest and more practical way to celebrate and honor this special pagan holiday. It’s beginner-friendly so you don’t need to be a witch to do it!
How does it work?
A prayer for Mabon can help you connect with this moment of transition, changing seasons, and getting ready for the upcoming next phase with Samhain.
Why should I honor Mabon with a prayer?
Suppose Lughnasadh is the beginning of the harvest, representing the sacrificial aspect. In that case, Mabon is the end of the harvest, its completion, but also the second harvest after that of cereals, fruit, and grapes. Do you know what Mabon is? It is a Celtic anniversary, the 21st of September, or the autumn equinox.
In ancient times it was celebrated by pagans and non-pagans, but this custom has been lost and now only the Wiccans remember it. This is all well and good, but what if you are a Christian?
It is not a question of worshiping the Mother goddess or another god but only of meditating on the changes, on the new season that is coming, and therefore of finding a way to feel good about yourself and to reflect. This is the day dedicated to balance: day and night are the same, a portion of good food for thought.
By dedicating this day to reflections on balance, on the rest to which nature begins, on the way in which we approach our commitments, and on our projects for the winter, many things can be done. This is a night to honor the balance of God and Goddess is the harmony of matter and spirit. Both the spiritual life of the next world and the physical life of this world are celebrated.
It’s the time to put an end to old projects and prepare for the rest period. Magical work should be about protection, prosperity, security, self-confidence. Mabon is considered a time of mystery. Time to honor the elder gods and the Spirit. The deities are thanked for their gifts, hoping for the return of abundance.
What is the best time to do it?
Mabon’s night has equal hours of light and dark so it’s the perfect time to do your prayer for Mabon. If you can’t do it on that very same night, you can do it on a night following Mabon when you can relax and commit to a few hours of dedication and a moment of heartfelt prayer.

After prayer, you can let the candle burn out completely or you can use it for more prayers, in case you decide to make it like a part of a daily ritual. As always, this is your call!
