A Mabon rite outline
General Mabon info to start with, set the mood &c...
What is Mabon?
Mabon, sometimes known as the Harvest/Thanksgiving ritual of the Autumn Equinox, is one of the Spokes of
the Wheel of the Year. In the many Earth or Pagan Religions, a special kinship with the passing of the
seasons is felt... this is usually due to the history of said traditions, most of which stem from agrarian
cultures where the seasons marked the way of life. From planting to reaping to winter to summer... the
seasons were of great importance to our ancestors, for their very existence depended upon good harvests, mild
winters, enough rainfall, and the like.
So... having shown the importance of the seasons, we shall turn to Mabon itself. Autumn... harvest time... the
reaping of what was sown and cared thru during the year. A time of thankfulness and rejoicing. So, of course,
someone at some point in time must have said... "Now that the work is over... LET'S PARTY!!!"
This is the essence of Mabon. Rejoicing in a bountiful harvest, thanking the Gods for being so kind during the
year, and, hopefully, helping in winning over the Gods' favor for the coming year.
About the Mabon rite itself:
Now, this will be a very Discordian ritual in that each participant will be (more or less) writing his/her own part.
This outline is provided to sorta nudge (nudge, wink, wink, say no more, sir, say no more!) people into making their
individual pieces able to fit into the whole thing... (I feel like the Green Ball outta "Heavy Metal", the movie,
something which ties things together).
Back to the rite itself.
Basically, 6 personages will be represented: Callers or Watchers of the East, South, West and North, High
Priest (HP) and High Priestess (HPS).
Of course, since this is a generic rite, the terms "Lord" and "Lady" will be used when referring to the Male
and Female aspects of divinity/godhood/whatever... individuals may use which ever names they wish, for a Rose,
by any other name, would still smell as sweet.
Outline:
A. Invocation... once everybody has arrived, a Circle shall be cast, more or less, and the 4
Watchers/Callers each get to do their thing invoking that which that direction symbolizes to come and
attend the festivities. After which, either the HPS, HP or both would consecrate the circle... in our
case... the circle will be around each person at their 'puter... with a sense of being connected to each
other via the others' 'puters. So... what we'll do is... after the circle is cast, and the four Corners
have done their things, then the HP will call upon the Lord to attend, and the HPS shall call upon
the Lady, (or, if we want to be different, we can have the HP call the Lady, and the HPS call
the Lord... it's not as traditional, but I know of some Ladies who are more likely to pay attention to a
young, handsome HP than any HPS, if you get my meaning [wink]).
B. Once invoked... it's time for the thanksgiving part... we all got things we're thankful for... now's the
chance.
C. After the thanks are over, a customary requesting of blessing for the coming year is asked. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
