The Autumn Equinox marks the day when daylight and nighttime are roughly equal, offering a moment to reflect on the approaching darkness. We also express gratitude for the waning sunlight as we gather in the year's harvest. In Druidic traditions, this celebration is known as Mea'n Fo'mhair, where the Green Man, the God of the Forest, is honored with offerings to trees. Libations like cider, wine, herbs, and fertilizer are customary.

Wiccans celebrate the Goddess's transition from Mother to Crone and the God's preparation for death and rebirth. This Lesser Wiccan Sabbat is also called the Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, or by various other names across different cultures. The Teutonic term, Winter Finding, extends from the Sabbat to October 15th, Winter's Night, which may have also been the Norse New Year.

During this festival, it's customary to dress in your best attire and enjoy a lavish feast with family. As we approach Samhain, the year's end, this is a time to draw closer to loved ones and complete unfinished tasks. It's a period for rest, relaxation, and introspection.

Rituals may vary personally but often include gatherings, storytelling, mindful meditation, candle magic, and kitchen witchery to foster gratitude, awareness, and abundance.
