Posted in druidry, Pagan, Ritual, Sabbat, shamanism, witchcraft, tagged Ancestors, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Cernunnos, Cycle of the Seasons, El Farol, Mabon 2016, mountain spirits, tacos, tarot reading on September 24, 2016| Leave a Comment »

SLPS celebrated Mabon in Big Cottonwood Canyon Saturday, September 24, 2016, under the shade of an oak and the watchful eyes of the land spirits and ancestors of the mountains. Cernunnos was honored with wine, acorns, lavender sage, and apples. Poetry was read, and the members listened to “Mabon” from the album Cycle of the Seasons by Lisa Thiel. The setting sun created a magical atmosphere in which Cernunnos emerged from the forest to bless those present. Natural oak wands added the right touch to the fall season.

The after Mabon feast was tacos at El Farol restaurant in Midvale. Egyptian tarot readings gave everyone guidance for the dark times ahead.
