Mabon

The refugees once again take a break to celebrate Mabon, the Autumnal Equinox with friends.

The Altar Stands Ready

Rorn: sniffs the food smells in the air

Rorn: runs around Saph's skirt

Saphira Mistwalker giggles

Fitheach Eun: Welcome all. Today is the Autumnal Equinox or Mabon; the day when night and day have equal sway in the world.

Fitheach Eun: Today our land hangs in equal balance between dark and light.

Fitheach Eun: From today forward until Yule the dark grows ever stronger.

Fitheach Eun: Let us ask the elements to bring balance and harmony to our lives in the dark days ahead.

Lady Saphira, Ambassador of the Shadow Dragons

Fiesty Lotus: Earth, symbol of security and stability,

bring peace and harmony into our homes

Fiesty Lotus: May our families be well,

May the earth, the soil, the land,

Fiesty Lotus: ground us and and protect us and

those whom we love.

Talia.Sunsong: Hail Earth

Fiesty Lotus: Fire, bringer of light and warmth

Hold the inner light ever before us

As we endure the darkness without

Fiesty Lotus: Cast your warmth upon us and all we care for

Keep us safe from the cold winds that are coming soon

And lead us ever back to the light

Talia.Sunsong: Hail Fire

Fae Talia, Mercifully Without her Wand

Fitheach Eun: Air, which fuels the winds of all seasons

And supports all life

Fitheach Eun: Blow away our cares and doubts

Our worries and fears of the darkness to come

Talia.Sunsong: Hail Air

Fitheach Eun: Hold us steady on the dark road ahead

And chase the obstacles from our path

Fitheach Eun: Water, source and sustainer of life

Cleanse our hearts of fear and pain

Fitheach Eun: Create the flow of balance within us

That we may walk in beauty even in the dark days

Talia.Sunsong: Hail Water

Fitheach Eun: Set our course towards the light

And bring us home again

Savage, The Dragon Trapped in a Naga Form

Fiesty Lotus: A balance of night and day, a balance of light and dark

Tonight we seek balance in our lives

as it is found in the Universe.

Fiesty Lotus: A black candle for darkness and pain

and things we can eliminate from our lives.

Fiesty Lotus: A white candle for the light and for joy

and all the abundance we wish to bring forth.

At Mabon, the time of the equinox,

Fiesty Lotus: there is harmony and balance in the Universe,

and so there shall be in all our lives

Hobbit Archdruid Fiesty Lotus

Fitheach Eun: Spirits of the elements

Help us to bring balance to our daily lives

And to all we protect

Fitheach Eun: Guide us away from darkness and pain

Fitheach Eun: Help us remove the bad influences from our lives

Fitheach Eun: Open our hearts and minds to the inner light

Fitheach Eun: That we may carry it within us

Through all the dark days before us

Fitheach Eun turns to the group

Fitheach Eun: Does anyone present wish to speak or add anything to the ceremony?

Elf Archdruid Fitheach Eun

Talia.Sunsong: May you all have an abundant harvest of health, wealth, creativity and friendship

Fitheach Eun smiles

Saphira Mistwalker: May you all find the balance within yourselves and share it with love to those around you.

Fiesty Lotus grins and nods

Fitheach Eun: Anyone else?

Savage Taurus: May all anxiety and strife be left behind us as we move forward into Autumn.

Fitheach Eun nods

Fitheach Eun turns back to the altar

Fitheach Eun: Water, you have brought us your peace and harmony

We thank you; go now in peace

Fitheach Eun: Air, you have held us up on high with your soft winds

We thank you; go now in peace

Talia.Sunsong: Hail and farewell Water

Talia.Sunsong: Hail and farewell Air

Gathered Friends

Fiesty Lotus: Fire, you have kindled a flame to light our path forward

Fiesty Lotus: We thank you; go now in peace

Fiesty Lotus: Earth, you have blessed us with your harvest and your stability

Fiesty Lotus: We thank you; go now in peace

Talia.Sunsong: Hail and farewell Fire and Earth

Fiesty Lotus: The circle is broken; the rite is ended

Thank you all who have joined with us today

Fiesty Lotus: Go now in peace and balance

Everyone Dances

Savage Taurus: Happy Mabon!

Saphira Mistwalker: Happy Mabon all!

Talia.Sunsong: May the circle be open but unbroken May the love of the Goddess be ever in your heart.

Fitheach Eun: Happy Mabon to you all

Talia.Sunsong: Yay!

Fiesty Lotus: May the season be full of good things.

Fitheach Eun puts down her staff

Fiesty Lotus: Food, love, food, did I mention food?
