#herfstenuinox

You notice it silently, everything that the summer is over. In the mornings and
evenings are significantly colder and the days are also shortening considerably.
This is therefore the time of year when our regions are about the same length or short, day and night. With the exception of the autumn nuinox, there is and the ancient Celtic festival of Mabon (September 21 to 23), which is celebrated around this period, represents the beginning of autumn.

Unlike Lughnashad, Mabon is a modest harvest festival. The second harvest festival in which people come to rest, thankful for the summer that is now definitely over and to look ahead to the coming winter and preparing for it. This day is also often spiritually looked at your blessings and the things you need to let go of in order to move forward on your path, including. wrong beliefs, destructive relationships and burdens.

The colors that come with it are orange, red, green and brown tones. The foods used for a sacrifice or just a fun party meal are pumpkins, apples, grapes, pomegranates,. .
To reflect on this ancient Celtic holiday, people usually make a delicious meal with the above ingredients and decorate the house with typical autumn decorations from nature, including. nuts, acorns, leaves.

A fun activity to do with kids is to make edible, chocolate autumn leaves. and that's how you do it.
Materials: 1 bag each of semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate snacks (chips), broadleaf herbs such as mint, basil, celery, etc.
Select your sprigs of leaves in the product area of your supermarket or in your garden. Wash the leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Melt chocolate with 2 teaspoons of butter and stir until smooth. Pour chocolate into small bowls and give each child a clean little brush. Paint the underside of the leaves with the chocolate and place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Refrigerate until firm. Slowly pull real leaves away from chocolate leaves. (Explain to children how art reflects nature's true beauty.)
