For those of you who are not Wiccan and do not know what Mabon is it's when crops are harvested;light and darkness are again in balance.
TheGod sleeps in the womb of the Goddess,waiting to be reborn.
Mabon is sacred to the Celtic God Mabon,a Son of Light,son of the mother Goddess Mabon.This second harvest festival is a time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and give thanks for its abundance.
Witches put the fruits of the seasonon their altars,bake bread and pies,work magic to balance inbalances.As for me I usualy bake bread and split the loges between my friends as a offering of friendship and make I also make incense to share with them...
So in preperation for Mabon I decied to share in how to make these wonderful smelling incense with you.
Mabon Incense

2 parts myrrh
1 part hazelwood
