Autumnal Equinox, Mabon and the Ancestor Time is unfolding around us. The Equinoxes are about balance, the balance of day and night. They are important markers to the shifting Wheel of the Year and help us to prepare for planting or harvesting depending on the season. In modern times, the autumn equinox is referred to
