Goddess Of Autumn;
Goddess, pull your mantle of Autumn over and around us
We see you in the purple dusk and the early setting sun
We see you in the fall of leaves in the auburn, orange and red
We smell you in the ripening of the fruits of your harvest
We smell you in the smoke of the bonfires of your leaves
We hear you in the chatter of the gathering squirrels
We hear you in the rumble of the settling mountains
We taste your bounty in the gathering of the autumn crops
We taste you bounty in the essence of the grapes and fruits
We feel your presence in the earth and air around us
We feel your love in our hearts and our souls.
Goddess, stay with us, bless us and protect us
So Mote It Be

Mabon Blessing
Goddess, we thank you for your blessings and gifts
For the bounties of spring and summer and fertility of our lives and lands
For the powers of creation, which challenge us and fill us with breathtaking awe
Goddess we thank you
For the earth with its sunrises and sunsets, ocean tides and mountain peaks
For the Humanity, our shared pasts and futures, our oneness despite all differences
Goddess we thank you
For our hopes and dreams, noble causes and understanding of views not shared
For all who have worked and fought for a fairer universe and a life of dignity and freedom
Goddess we thank you
For the opportunity to learn and grow, the knowledge to teach and make choices
For the wisdom to live by hope and not fear and by our deeds not our words
Goddess, we thank you
For all that we have overlooked and taken for granted in the our daily life
For being and letting us be blessed by that being
Goddess, mighty and powerful, tender and charitable, we most gratefully thank you now.
Blessed Be
On this day of equal light and darkness, may you find the balance you need in your life, may you be blessed with abundance of many kinds, and may you be surrounded by the people who love you.
